Don't have a pic of my first car, 53 Buick straight eight sedan. Here's one of my Beaucamino or Elcabeaumont circa 1975, 327 glide,full gauges with a roll tach, wish I'd kept that one.

1977, 16 years old.
My aunts "Old" 69 2+2. $400.
A little rust forming, the car was considered by her to be "finished". Perfect for a 16 year old!

81 trans am with a potent little 305 ( my dads drag racing buddy really set it up nice)  T-tops with no hood bird sticker. Was ordered that way from a family friend, i was the second owner. Still had it until i got rid of it to get the 59. Fun car, lots of good times. And thats me at 17 i believe, i like my little mustache.LOL!

My first car was a 74 Valiant Brougham. 225 slant six, but a two door with a plush interior. Looked pretty good with 5 spokes and 60's. Absolutely no get up an go.
My second car was the first car that I liked. Graduated to a V8, but only a 307. Headers helped a tad. Took it from Edmonton to LA two summers in a row. Four lads driving through Death Valley in the middle of the night (drove at night to save on the hotel bills) with no A/C. That was the life. (The attached photo was scanned in reverse from a slide. It's not really a right hand drive.)

LT1 as in the 350 c.i.d. / 370 h.p. early 70's SBC, right? Great motor! Nice car, too - my mom had a 55 2dr hardtop when I was a teenager, still love the look of those cars.

Wow, you're strong!  I think this side looks better than that other side anyway.  Thanks Dave!

Right Dave. Destroyed 3 rearends in one summer. Muncie never gave me any trouble. Even power shifting second gear! Loved that car. Out of all my rides, that's the one I want back.
