My first "car" was a 1964 Chevy 3/4 ton pick-up, 4-spd w/compound low 1st, and a HOT little old Corvette 283, cammel hump 1.94 heads, 60 over, cam came on from 3,000-7,000rpm. It was black and white (black body, white top, white strip in trim), chrome trim, chrome spoke wheels w/60 series polyglass radials, and I drove the living chit out of it! I sure wish I still had it. I have no idea what happend to it over the years.

P.S. You were 17 in 1990! KID!

77 Formula 350/auto blue/blue

Blew the motor the first day I had it racing a Porche 911 down I-91.

Two weeks later it had the 400 out of my next door neighbor's wreaked 69 GTO in it.....would have beat the Porche with that one!

My first car (truck) was a 1984 Bronco with a 460CI motor and she had a 6" suspension lift and a 3" body lift. The tires were 38" radial Cepeks. I got the truck new and lifted it the day after I bought it. I added the 460 after I blew the 351 muddin' it too hard.

Ahhh.. good times gone past. The good old days of having a lifted turck...

I found this truck on the Internet a few years ago.. I've been in love with it ever since...

I think getting a trailer hooked up to it might be an issue.

(No, that is not me)

My first car (1968) was a 1960 Chrysler Windsor. About 40 feet long with big fins. 383 4bbl with a pushbutton automatic. Car was built in Mexico and had a metric speedometer that went to 220 (KM) Most of my friends didn't understand the metric system an assumed it was MPH. Could hold 9 teenagers and peg the speedometer.

Default My First Car was a .....

1986 Buick Park Avenue. Dark Metallic Blue, Wrong Wheel Drive, 100% velour, very plush, power everything. Very odd car for a 16 yr old back in 1994, but it was a lovely ride nonetheless!

My LeMans as of last week:
Almost done with the cosmetics, just need to install the Moldings around the windshields and do some detail work...

Talking Thanks!

Brandi,

If you were complimenting me, thanks! If not, then I'm sure the care you were referring to is beautiful. It has to be if it's a 72 LeMans!

"Lucretia" is the fruit of countless hours of labor and I'm not done yet. At least the costmetic restoration is almost complete. I've been restoring her on and off for two years and I'm almost done! I've had the car since 1998. This is what she looked like back around early 2003, about 8 months before I parked her for restoration. Anyway, It's been a wonderful project and I have lots more planned for her.

Thanks again!
