69 Impala, with milk crates as seats. That was mine and my best friends. I guess my first car that was just mine was a 77 Firebird. From a dead stop, a person on foot could out run it for about 20 yards.lol
1976 Jeep CJ-5. Orange with rattle can black interior, brown Levi Strauss seats, and blue top. It was a study in color. But it had a 304 V8, three on the floor, and side pipes. Sounded great and could spin the rear tires in all gears. Surprised quite a few people at the stop light
I believe ya!
A friend of mine once had a 78 or 79 Jeep CJ5 with the 304, but I think it was a 4 spd, it may have been a 3 spd, I can't remember cause I never got to drive it, but like you said - it would spin those big ol' tires thru all the gears.
1954 Chevy.........Paid $75 for it........Used more oil than gas!
Upgrades included fake whitewalls, rims painted black and baby moon hub caps!! Slick!

1967 Ford Cobra 427 had it for only couple hours. After roasting the tires a few times I was doing about 150 mph and right before rear tires lost traction then rolled 12-15 times I woke up from a dream. Had a couple of yall drooling for a second. On a more truthful note it was a 1972 GMC Sprint. Tore it completely up as much as 16 year old can.
you had me going
My dad was very good friends with a Ford dealer around 1970. We had a Ford station wagon that he took into the dealership to have some work done, and it was going to take a couple days.
The dealer loaned him his own ‘70 Boss 429 Mustang in the meantime. My mom was not pleased: “Now what will we use to get the kids around?” We kids managed to stuff ourselves in the back seat
Perplexed, your story put a smile on my face. As a teenager I had a friend without a car who needed a ride to his girlfriends birthday party. We was the only two guys at the party. To keep it short the girls wanted pizza. We was about 2 miles from Pizza Hut so we piled into my car, myself, my buddy, and 12 teenage girls! The car, a 1970 Mustang fastback 302 with a 3 speed on the floor. Uncomfortable but the most fun drive in my life. I bet no one in that car will ever forget that 4 mile round trip!
1970 GTO was my first car(I think I paid $1200 for it) 400 big block with a RV cam and a holley 750 double pump up top with headers, I got a bit stupid on a our gravel road and ripped the exhaust off, the sound was amazing. That car was always heat soaking and eating alternators. So I bought a 84 fiat spider for my last year of high school.
Ha! 1955 ford truck in 1995
