Im 23 years old and have always liked old cars from the 60s.My first car was a 69 bug that I bought when I was 13 with money earned from my paper route.I drove it for a couple of days before I took it apart with the intention of restoring it. I didnt know much about cars back then (I now know why I kept rounding off bolts back then, vw=metric tools..duh) , and needless to say, the project overwhelmed me and I eventually got fed up with it and it sat in my driveway mocking me for a couple of months.A bunch of neighborhood teens rang my doorbell and offered to buy the car for $500 bucks and I accepted.1 week later I saw my car running in the streets, I asked the kid driving it how he got it running again,He said all it needed was a cheapo carb(I thought it was some type of ignition prob, I guess those left over parts I had when I tried to rebuild the carb were important...damn) I vowed from then on that no car repair will ever defeat me again...ten years later,I have self taught myself the art of auto repair.I have owned numerous disposable cars during high school but I fell in love with the ford engines when i bought a 1965 raven black mustang with a straight 6 when I was 16, the engine ran flawlessy for over 4 years of owning the car with an average of 20k miles a year.I have never seen such reliability in a motor before,I thought to myself if their straight 6s were this good I wonder what a v8 would be like...The v8 went in and I finally knew what I was missing...numerous mods later to my "low tech"65 stang, I started wondering what it would be like to own a later model 5.0 stang with fuel injection and an overdrive tranny, hmm...I know have a 90 isuzu pick up a 68 firebird and my stang collection an 87gt convertible stang an 89 gt hardtop and a fuel injected 5speed 1965 stang with modified suspension...Im now wondering what it would be like to own a fuel injected twin turbo'd light weight shelby cobra with super car handling, hopefully this doesnt become a pipedream, but I did promise myself 10 years ago that no car repair will ever defeat me again.
