1964 Chevy Impala wagon...283/PG It burned more oil than gas, but it was better than walking...my father gave it to me and I sold it to a Corvette guy for $75 as a winter beater after that a 64 Chevelle and then the first L78 Nova This all happened over a period of a couple of months...great fun and super memories

I drove my Dad's junk in HS, learned to drive on a 60 VW, all 36 screamin HP
Got married in Nov 68 and bought the 69 Charger ( 318 car ) while still in the Navy.

My first car was a 1970 Mercury Montego MX. It was my granfathers car.302 and a c4trans. My twin brother and I had to share it. If we both were doing things we would drive are mothers 1970 Buick Electra 225. Later my brother bought him self a 1976 Cutlass. I gave him some money for his Half of the Mercury. I installed a cam heads headers in the Mercury for the fist time. The cam was 500 lift so with a stock gear it wasn't much from stop but on a roll it ran pretty good. The funny thing is we always wanted to moms Buick when we had a street race. I know it sounds funny But this was originally my dads fathers car. So it was always has been in the family also. My brother and I were known for racing it. I remember racing alot of different cars in that car from a 70 sport fury to a kid with a 67 mustang 289 fastback. That kid came up to the Texaco Station I worked at with open headers Saying I'm tired of hearing about that Buick. I raced him Three times on the frontage road and beat him all 3 time he was mad. You think about the things you did and realize you got away with allot Well Back to the Mercury after 5 c4 trans missions I had enough I sold the Mercury bought a 1979 Trans Am Smokey and the Bandit Black Even had a CB in it. Then a 1970 L-46 Corvette 4SPD THen the 1969 Z/28 I still have 22 years Later. Hugger orange Born with drive line.

My Cortez Silver 1972 Chevelle SS that was sold new @ Fencl-Tufo Chevrolet.
Brought it home on this day in Feb.1980 after paying $800 for it.Only 33K miles,but the body was worse.
Restored it,drove the snot out of it,then sold it years later at ChevyVetteFest at Arlington Park racetrack in Fall 84.
..Man that car was fun!

This sweet thing right here.... a '77 Vette.

I mean 1977 Chevette. Not the regular ol' puny 1.4L 4-cylinder, but the RALLY Chevette. It was 1.6L of pure raw power. I had the cheap $20 power booster amp for the radio, speakers tossed in the hatch, genuine imitation fuzzy sheepskin seat covers, and real 4-lug Cragar S/S rims with 50-series tires in the back and 60-series in the front.




After a couple years of that excitement, I bought my first Nova, and never looked back.

1972 Nova 4-door


Moved on to a '72 Nova 2-door





... and then some mid 70's Camaros, more Novas, a truck, Suburbans...
