Bigfoot Posted October 28, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 28, 2007 Some great cars back then although I didn't start driving until the early 70's. My first car cost me $200. A 65 Ford Falcon. That engine was so easy to work on. I could almost crawl into the engine compartment it had so much room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted October 28, 2007 Share #7 Posted October 28, 2007 That was very cool! Even though I didn't start driving till the early 80's I had my share of hot rods. My '67 Barracuda was the my favorite 340 Tripower with a Dana rearend and a Muncie 4 speed....that car would rip your head off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Eagle Posted October 28, 2007 Share #9 Posted October 28, 2007 That was super - thanks for sharing. Ironically, yesterday while out riding, stumbled across a club (forgot the name) of 1915 - 1930 vehicles - 12 out of the 14 were in prime condition. Mainly Pierce Arrows, couple of Hudsons, a Cadillac. One was for sale - only $85,000! A freind of mine sent me the attachments, I will see if I can figure how to share them here.

lowflyer07 Posted October 28, 2007 Share #12 Posted October 28, 2007 Mine was a '55 Chevy. I can't believe I was so dumb selling that car! We used to love to drive to the XXX back then along with all the other "kids." Oh yea, I still can! The last original XXX Drive-in is still here in the area. Love to drive my the '67 Mustang there and remember the great times we once had. Thanks for the great memories!! Lowflyer07 Ride Safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted October 28, 2007 Share #13 Posted October 28, 2007 That was pretty cool. Most were just slightly ahead of my time. I've owned a lot of cars in my life but in my early days they were 60 Chevy Belair, 67 Pontiac Tempest, 69 Camaro, 69 VW, 73 Chevelle 454 SS, 74 Dodge Challenger. There were a couple others mixed in there that I just happened upon and bought/sold pretty quickly...some year Corvair and a 62 Chevy Impala.

Venturous Randy Posted October 30, 2007 Share #20 Posted October 30, 2007 1st car was an English Ford Anglia like the one in the last Harry Potter movie. When I turned 17 in 68, I bought a 64 Chevelle with a 327 4-speed, That car got me thru 4 years in the military. Then a sharp 65 Chevelle and in 77 a 240Z Datsun that in 79 I put a 350 Chevy in it and later on a 327. When I finally parked it I had put 156,000 miles on the conversion. Very fun car to drive.

Guest Yamahawg Posted October 31, 2007 Share #23 Posted October 31, 2007 Had quite a few , Dad loved to trade around with older cars. 55 Buick, 60 Chevy Impala, 63 Ford Fairlane (3 in floor that got hung up if ya shifted from 3 to 1 directly, Got out many times at red light to crawl under and hit the linkage. Thinking back that was fun times though) 65 Ford Fairlane, 67 Ford Fairlane. But my all time favorite was a 69 Javelin,(390 4 Barrel) One hot little car. Lucky Im around to write about this one. Can remember on more than one occasion I was scared ****less when testing just how fast it would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
