Just before I sold it 1987 Buick Grand national 680 HP 10.60's in the Quarter mile on street tires, sold it to buy my first house

had six more GN's before that one dam car was very hard to beat when it came up on BOOST.The black Turbo T second pic was the one I sold to buy my first boat lol

Brian you still got that motor? My gn buddy still ask after you hooked him up that one time...their gn motor rx7 conversion is turning some impressive numbers....pretty bad when it takes a 1000cc streetbike to finally pass us around 170mph

I remember talking to your Buddy a while back on his RX7 with the turbo motor as light as that car is it would be crazy fast, Nope Josh I wish I would of kept the motor

My youngest kid still tells me I screwed up when I sold the last one but I don't see him complaining when he's in the boat.

Bought my first car at 16, a Hugger Orange '69 Camaro 350/th350, power steering, power disc brakes

That's the one I wish I hadn't let get away.

65 Chevy II, factory 283 powerglide, 2 door hardtop

61 Ford F100 Unibody Shortbed with big back window, factory 292/auto. I still have this truck and would like to rebuild it someday.
62 VW Baja Bug
73 Datsun 720 PU running 31's. Had a built 2.0L/5 speed and was way too fast for the stock drum brakes

Had a couple 69 Datsun 510 projects that I never got to finish

That's Mike Finnegan's Rogers. That pic is from his how to fix a flat on the road. They drove the good tire up on a rock to get the other off the ground. I'll find the article.

1964 chevelle 2 door hard top....purchased back when I was 15 from a guy who dismantled the car and left it to rot in his barn. This pic. is of the 1st day I actually drove the car the middle of my senior year.
Although the chevelle is the coolest car I've ever had.....and will never get rid of it, I will always love my mean green 70 blazer machine (wish I didn't sell it). Can't seem to find any pics. of it other than the ass end.

As soon as I saw your pics, I remembered the article.
That was when HB was trying to give us jetters a section to read.

Holy shit! How old are you? the reason I ask is because we have been living parallel lives....

My pop bought my '64 Chevelle when I was 15 and it came home on flatbed trailers and milk crates...The first day I drove the car was the 3rd day of my senior year at HS...

I bought my Blazer as a "runner but barely" and built it to be the best looking, hardest wheeling commuter car....

Miss both...

My pictures are limited because in the olden days we used film......I will try to get them scanned........ $:-\$

You and me are scary similar as far as vehicle choices...

First car and still one of my favorites: 64 Falcon, 160 cu and three on the tree
Had a bunch of others but most fun was the 76 Datsun 710, lowered suspension kit and header, with side draft carb setup.
73 Vega
70 Satellite, built 383 and freaking scary fast
77 Mustang 2, an orange sleeper with a 302 and chrome leg pipes
84 Lincoln Mark 7-for the cool factor
Now driving a 05 Avalanche. Most useful truck I have had.
I counted up all my cars and they came to over thirty, plus 5 m/c, three sailboats and my current jet boat. Wish I had all the money I have spent on buying and fixing them.....
