[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4084675, member: 13337"] The nostalgia is killing me! My first car (bought new in November of 1967),,, Was an Electra Blue 1968 Road Runner. Man was that car a basic automobile,,, Nothing luxurious about the dang thing at all,,, Maybe I got a lemon but some little thing was always breaking. I was driving down the road one day an an awful noise started coming from the engine compartment,,, Turns out it was the long bolt that held the alternator in place. The bolt backed out but couldn't fall free because it was impacting the radiator fan,,, It was an easy fix with a lock nut to hold it in place,,, But still, it shouldn't happen to a new car. That was just one of the many many irritating things that went bad on that auto,,, The electrical system was the flimsiest thing ever to come out of Detroit. But,,, It did have two good points,,, Even though it was a big clumsy block of a car,,, The dang thing was a veritable Chick-Magnet and it was [B]FAST[/B]! I broke it in o one long highway drive,,, Then that very weekend I took it to the drag strip,,, That Road Runner 383 and that huge Borg Warner 4-speed,,, Turned a 13.98 Elapsed Time. As I got better driving I was able to shave another few tenths off the time. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1690811005902.png"]397596[/ATTACH] This isn't a picture of my Bird but it's exactly what mine looked like,,, It's dry weight was 2,800 lbs and I paid $2, 810 dollars for it,,, Just a fraction of a penny over $1.00 per pound. Three years of mowing lawns, babysitting, and anything else I could think of to earn the cash for it. The Nostalgia is thick in my room right now. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
