ROFL, doh! Oh well...so much for me actually knowing WTF I'm talkin' 'bout 'eh?<g>

Yeah the Malibu was a straight six, the Monte I bought 4 years (yes...4 years<g&gt later had the 305 in it that I couldn't keep running to save my a$$. It eventually got replaced with a built to the hilt 350 Nitrous, but, that's a story for another day.


wolf, preferably a day where I don't have my daughter climbing up and down my chair!

 

First car was a 1964 Lincoln Continental pd. $85 the next a 1963 Chev Impala with a 283 & 3 sp. pd. $65. That was my first hot rod pulled the 283 and in went a B&B 350HP 327 with roller rockers, Offy flat top intake 650 Holly, Hurst Vgate 4sp. and a 12 bolt posi.

 

1956 Ford F-100....223ci straight six with a three on the tree.

 

'66 GTO in 1976 for $600. Car needed a safety inspection but needed tires to pass. I got a part time job at Pizza Hut and my Pop loaned me the money for tires. He did that for me a lot, loaning me money if I showed him I was a good credit risk. All the way to loaning the equity he had on a house I bought from him, better interest rates than the banks but better than he could get in a savings account if i paid me outright. He taught me well.

 

First one I drove: Mom's 64 Rambler Ambassador, 327 auto, you wouldn't think a Rambler would haul ***, but this one did.

First one I bought: 59 Ford Fairlane, straight 6 and 3-on-the-tree.

25 bucks in 1969.
