I wish I still had my 64 Chevy Belair 2 Door Hardtop, 427, ¾ cams, Twin 750 Holley duel pumpers, 4 speed Munsey. She was a screamer. Girl friend put a rod through the black, didn’t have the money to buy new engine.

1. In 1965 I purchased my first new 396 Chevelle.
2. In 1968 I purchased a new 340 Dart.
Those would be my favorite two out of the 40 or so I have owned.

1960 Impala Sport Coupe...289 engine, 4 bbl carb, Powerglide tranny, factory air and Wondrbar radio

1977 Plymouth Road Runner...360 V8 4 bbl police package.

Nice Impala.... I had a 66 Impala SS 2door hard top with 425hp 427 engine!! Miss the old sleeper!!!!!!!

Without a doubt, it would be my "Ole Yeller", a 1973 I-H Scout-II. It had a big 345ci engine, like the large beer trucks, so many gear options, a PTO, factory Buick Limited Interior (go figure), and got around 8mpg on a good day. But, it could out-turn a Jeep, out climb a Rover, and out-pull an F350. The rear was flat and could hold an entire Hobie Cat repair station with a full-line of spare parts and extra breakaway rudders.

My three cute kids would all fit on the little back seat and sing songs over the radio.

I "unstuck" so many larger "beach trucks" with giant tires from the Padre Island National Seashore with it.

Memories of long-ago younger days..........................Where did that little blue-eyed blonde bikini chick go, anyway ?

1968 Mustang Coupe (289)...found in a junkyard and rebuilt her from the ground up. Had to sell to help pay for my first year in college. Tried to find it later and was told the idiots I sold it to flipped it coming off a levee......so back to boneyard she went.

1969 GTO Judge.

I loved that car!


It got totaled in the parking lot of a bar in Houston one night where we were playing.

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, turquoise and white, 283, auto.

I could have retired on easy street had I kept it.

Just sold her two years ago, bought as a slant 6, and changed it out to a 340, with a dana 60. Its actually in sweeden right now, with some collector doing a full restoration to it. Oh, and yes guys, that is a snake skin top

 

[Emperor]

'66 Mustang coupe w/289 and original GT Rims. Powder Blue. Fast as lightning. Sold it to a collector cause keeping it and not having the time to take care of it properly would have been sacrilege.

 

[rockmup]

64 El Camino with a 350/350
74 Nova with a 396/700r4

 

[USMC-Deano]

Unquestionably, my 2002 WRX in WRC blue and my 2005 Ram 1500 Hemi Quad Cab.

ok, i know it's not as cool as th eold muscle you guys mentioned, but i'd kinda like to have my '99 Integra back.

 

[Spleen]

1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa.
Stiff, responsive and fun to drive.
The rear seat, such as it was, was officially called a "package shelf" by the factory to avoid lawsuits by folks using them as a passenger seat.
The top, when removed, perfectly fit in the space the package shelf provided.
(As well as a case of beer and some chips.)
About as practical as a truckload of dead rats at a tampon factory yet still sadly missed.
Memories.
