Do you own a classic ride? If so, what is it and please post a pic and tell us a bit about it. If you don't own one, what "would" you own if you got one.

Bought it for $300 drove it for about 6 years and sold it for $300. Had a pretty good case of rustworms on the quarter panels by then, but had a sweet running 302 with dual exhaust and glass pacs.
I wouldn't mind having it back as a project car.

My first car was a '69 Ford Fairlane.
Bought it for $300 drove it for about 6 years and sold it for $300. Had a pretty good case of rustworms on the quarter panels by then, but had a sweet running 302 with dual exhaust and glass pacs.
I wouldn't mind having it back as a project car.
I had a 69 Fairlane; it was my first car also. I had some money saved from baling hay that summerand pop pitched in the rest so I could get it (believe it cost $500; that was in 1977). Was as four door, light blue, 289, 3 on the tree ;).

Mine was 2 door coupe. I'll just say fit and finish are sooooo much better on new cars/trucks and ride/quietness is lightyears better than that car. Haha.My first car was a '69 Ford Fairlane.

Post by: Alchase on March 01, 2018, 10:16:59 AM
:yeah: Very true. It did keep Mustang alive in a hard time for sport cars. mustang II was a huge seller for Ford. Without this car the Fox body Stang likely would have been in peril. 140hp 4 speed stock. 2500lb car. Just uncorking the exhaust and flipping the air cleaner lid over was a good 40hp increase. I beat all the 305 irocs and a few of the 350 irocs on a rolling start. It was very torquey and a tire burner. 70's were tough times and this car reflects it but it carried the torch for the future. Surely its nothing like a pre 73 musclecar.
We use to call those "a Pinto with lipstick" :chuckle:

I have had and sold various older cars, 30's and 40's neeeding restoration (I would buy them then sell them at a profit years ago, back in the 70's). Actually had a 29 Ford Roadster first year of college that I was attempting to street rod back in 1964/65, but had to sell it when I went in the service. Another I should have kept. :)
Currently have a 97 30th Anniversary Camaro SS Convertible. Only made 957 30th SS's and of that total only 251 were convertibles. Fun car, with a 6 speed manual but a garage queen that is going to find a new home this summer.

Yes you are right, My first car was a white 67 Dodge Charger. Sad that I don’t still have it as I planned to. I bought that car from my parents for 100$ a month for a year which was a bundle for a 16 year old in 79. I traded it back to my dad when I was in college during the gas shortages cause I couldn’t afford the 6 miles to a gallon I was getting. I had told him NOT under any circumstances sell that car!!! He got tired of seeing it around and sold it in 88-89 for 1500. The shame is that in 1966 they made 30,000 and in 67 they made only 3500 in the first quarter of the year and halted production, so the 67 fully restored is very difficult to replace

Correct, the same engine was used for many many years (40?) before a complete redesign for the second generation Murcielago and originally had a wet sump system.
