*1956 Chevy "210" Wagon, 265, "power-pack", 3-speed/Overdrive.....my dad's car since brand new....CHERRY!!! He sold it without telling me...("Oh...I didn't know you wanted it...")...but I'm not BITTER! (But I have gotten him cheaper Father's Day cards since then...(1965)... and I might work it in to his eulogy when that time comes...)
*1957 Chevy I bought for $150 in 1965. *1954 Anglia (English Ford) I put a 426 Hemi in and an Econoline (front) straight Axle. *1968 Yenko Camero (427) (Didn't even know what a Yenko was in 1971, fresh back from R.V.N. Now watching Barrett-Jackson I cry alot...) *1984 Toyota Supra *1997 BMW M-3/4 All cars I owned and eventually had "sellers remorse" after selling...except for the '56 wagon...did I mention it didn't have one ding or speck of rust on it? But I'm not bitter... |

Petroleum Transfer Engineer
I’ve owned better than 65 different cars (and bikes)over the years but some of the most memorable would have to be:
1967 Nova SS (2 of 'em) 1967 Chevelle SS 396 (with 454 NOM) 1969, 1972 Plymouth Roadrunners 1967, 1974, 2001 Z06, Corvettes 1971, 1977, 1996 Porsche 911, 1965 356 1997 BMW M3 1970, 1971 MGB/Midget 1965, 1970 VW Bug, 1966 VW Van, 1979 Scirroco 1966 Mercedes 220S sedan 1969 Ford Cortina GT 1970 Triumph 650cc Bonneville 1961, 1966 XKE’s Most memorable experience: Getting to drive my big brother’s friends 1969 COPO Camaro that had a 427 motor and 4-speed in it when I was all of 17 years old, up and down Woodward Avenue while I was working as a “Petroleum Transfer Engineer” at the Standard gas station at Woodward and 14 Mile while in High School. Man, what a trip that was! |

My first car, I chatted to my Stepfather (He is a car guy) he asked me what I wanted ina car.
I said, lots of carbies, 2 doors, 4 seats, and lots of gears (5 speed). He told me best thing that fits all those specifics (that I could afford) ($3K) was a Datsun 180B SSS. I bought one same color as this. http://www.bmsc.com.au/forums/attach...00-2096656.jpg But he then said if I could live with a 3 speed, or a 4 speed then I could also afford a E series Charger, like the following pic. http://www.classicandperformancecar...._304854_25.jpg |
64 Black Plymouth Sport Fury 383
70 Pontiac GTO - 4 sp 75 Pontiact Trans Am - 4 sp (try not to laugh but after cam, headers, intake, 3.73 rear, reworked carb/dist, and 2-1/2 in exhaust it was pretty quick) 66 427/390 Corvette And the one I didn't quite get my hands on and I let slip away: A 68 Charger R/T Hemi that I went back to test drive in 1970 at the dealer - and some maniac had just made off with it and was doing donuts in the car lot when a mechanic ran out, smashed the window with a hammer and dragged him out of it. Front tire was shredded and bairly holding air. Glass all over the interior. I decided maybe it was an omen and walked away and bought the GTO instead. Dan |
Thanks, I don't feel so bad now about the ones I've lost. That's gotta hurt!

1985 AK MKIV #1068, hope to have first dibs next time it changes owners.
1959 AC Ace, working on this one.........or have for a year now....:CRY: |
Only one that I wish I had back.
1968 Firebird 400. With the birth of my first child coming, my wife said it had to go because it wasn't a "family" car! |
Think this one will be "The one that got away?" My 1957 Ford Failane 500 Club Victoria Hardtop, now has a worn-out 1972 460, Rebuilt C6 trans with shift kit, 9" with 3.25 gears and a Detroit Locker, ALL glass, chrome, and stainless is there in GREAT shape, with one half-dollar sized rust hole on the rear of the RF fender. 15 x 8 1/2 Weld wheels, new 255/60R15's Goodyear Eagle II's on the front, with the same Weld wheels on the back with an older set of 255/60R15s on the back.
This used to be a drag racer before I bought the car in 1986, and I have put the 460 in myself. The rear quarters are surprisingly straight, and the rest of the body is in VGC. The car starts, runs, and drives. Just had the front end aligned and the car goes down the freeway super smooth! Was asking $10,000 before the engine started acting up (loses oil pressure after a 30 minute drive, but comes back up after sitting for an hour or so.) |
