Cool to see someone your age find a score like that and know enough not to screw it up. I wasn't as smart.

My first car was a 66 GTO for $150. No motor/trans. Solid roller in grey primer, nice black interior, good brakes, American TTs, etc. All I had to do was drop a motor and trans in it. A friend even gave me a 71 455 and TH400 out of his 69 Firebird.

I has dumb dreams of stupid wheel tubs and a B+M street scoop. I got as far as takingthe car apart, smoothing the firewall with fiberglass, and gutting the interior. Left it sitting in my friends garage. I was 15.

First driver was a 77 Formula with electric blue shag carpet for $50. Changed the water pump, painted it flat black and drove it around on studded snow tires for cool one-wheel sparky burnouts. The day after I traded it for a 73, the rear window popped out doing 75 on the NJ Turnpike. What a POS. Wish I saved the 800 QJ.
