Ok my first car was a 1969 ford torino fastback with a 390, red whith a white racing stripe which added about 20 HP!...I was driving on the streets at the ripe age of 15 back and forth to work. Bet you could not do that these days...well maybe if your a thug I guess you can.

[Generals64]

Between Myself, Carltonskeeper and The Village Idiot, there is not enough space on the computers to tell about our cars from the past.

One good story ('78 you'll panic)...I traded a Guitar for a '40 Ford Pick-up with a rebuilt .283 straight across. I drove it home and my wife of 3 years made me drive it away....sold it for $100.00

'63 Corvette 360 horse roadster.....Belonged to Russell Courtnall (former Hockey player Dallas Stars)...Numbers matching perfect showroom car. Sold it for ...don't want to think about that....

'60 Red/white Corvette Roadster...paid $25,000.00 for it....it's now about a 65,000.00 car because of Numbers matching etc.....

'58 Ford Thunderbird....Paid $700.00 for it...the Village Idiot and I put many thousands of miles on that car......sold it for $200.00 trade-in on my all time favorite ... '63 Chevrolet Impala 300 hp 327 from the factory....Drove forever. the little missy in my life drove it to college...we both cried when we traded it off.....

'55 Chevrolet Bel-air Pink and Gray oh what a time....Remember double-dating with The Village Idiot...we went to the drive-in theater. He and his girl were in the back street. Me and my girl in the front....I didn't realize they had their legs kinda under the front seat and I push the front seat all the way back without telling anyone.....Took the hide off the shins of both him and his date.....Date was over......Long night....

built my oldest son a 1967 Mustang Fast Back...I'm sure everyone remembers Buddy Rice....This car's motor was one of the last motors Buddy rebuilt. He and my father-in-law were close friends and they put too much into this motor. It finally got to the point that the Moore police would just call the house and tell us to have our son come back and get his tickets....They couldn't catch him......ELANOR DRESSED IN BLACK....know what I mean?

I had a 71 Ranchero GT, black with the yellow to red reflective stripe, it had a 351HO and loved that premium leaded gas.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I always thought the Ranchero (even as a Falcon) was a cool looking ride..I have always enjoyed owning the old El Camino. I bought one from Alan Merrill in 1972...boy it was nice...Kept that thing for a long time......rode good, looked and sounded good.....There is a wrecking yard just East of OKC (Sooner Road) the guy had a 1965 for sale...I can look and dream ...someone else has to be the builder...

[village idiot]

Had a couple of private messages wanting me to post of picture of my old puke green model A coupe. Took about 8 months to build from an old original car. Who Needs Fenders!!

[grantgeneral78]

Wow you have had some really nice cars brother.

[grantgeneral78]

I had a brand new 1977 chevy short narrow bed pickup bright yellow and brown, put the roll bar in the back and the brush guard on the front and -i COULD RUN OVER ANYTHING! I used to run the foglights on the roll bar and the brush guard when we cruised down 59th between penn and western. Boy I used to piss the cops off running them 1,000,000 candlepower KC LIGHTS....Man I miss that truck.

[grantgeneral78]

I forgot to add...I bought that truck at ALAN MERRILL CHEVROLET......hope it wasnt from the mexican market now that I am thinking about it!

Hey, that '31 was stolen from me. Now that I know where it is I'm going to
pick it up on Friday. Don't try hiding. After a few Bud's Gen64 will spill the
beans all over the place.

Well Generals64 was right...you have got better with age. I remember when you would not know how to start a machine like this. My Dad had a brand new black '58 right of the showroom. Continental kit, fender skirts and twin antennas on the back when the tornado hit there on south shartel it drove a 2 X 4 straight through the garage wall, the drivers door and wedged into the bucket seat. It was a beautiful car. But, VI I am proud of you, that one is a fine looking auto.

That is just....just....awesome! I have a friend who owns a '58 Impala Convertible but his is in pieces. That's got to be the nicest I've seen in about 40 years.

[Prunepicker]

That's a great find. You tell us about these cars and where they
are but none of us do anything about it. I want a 40 Ford Coupe.
But it's got to be cheap. Like $350! Wake me up. I'm dreaming!

How about a 40 coupe street rod that's Candy Apple Red? Or
Jet Black? Oh yeah! I'd pay up to $700 for one of those.

[FRISKY]

Too many to list, but I started with a 1929 Model A Ford and 1956 Chevy.

nice truck flinty, how long have you owned it. Is it a low mileage or did you restore it?
