Just got to reminiscing about my road racing days.....and started digging through looking for pictures. Here it is...my datsun. Sold to come up with downpayment for my house....had it out for two test days and it was downright dangerous

And the car that got me into it....

You gotta drag this up?

My very first car....1964 Chevelle SS hardtop. Sold it because I was flat broke and needed to pay the light bill...

Frame off restoration and did all the work "in the family"...I miss that car like it was my right arm.

My second car was a 1972 Chevy Blazer CST 4X4...Sold that one to keep my business open for two more months......

Had a TPI 350 from a Corvette and lifted with Super Trapp exhaust no less

Thanks Pat.....I'm gonna go cry now.

My first car? '73 Nova SS that I dropped a 427 in. Bad ass car!

Coolest car I ever had was a '69 Firebird 400 convertible. Rebuilt that one from the ground up, almost all original.

Emailed my mom to see if she still has pictures of either of them she can scan

.

G/F wants me outta boats and just build a 66/67 Cutlass next (Her first car)..........we'll see......... I'm leaning towards a
66/67 GTO, a '64 Plymouth Sport Fury or possibly a '66 Charger as my street rod project next summer...........

I had 2 cars I miss from time to time...

I had a '02 VW GTI... 1.8turbo....had a 3" CB exhaust, intercooler, coilovers, sway/stress bars....thing was on rails. I took it out to buttonwillow and parump a few times. I loved the way that car handled.

Then I had a '79 Diesel Rabbit....1.5L 4 speed manual transmission. this thing was so slow, it was fun. It became a objective to keep my momentum up through turns because it only had 45hp. It was in excellent shape too. Wish I never sold that car.

I'll have to dig up pictures.

Take it to PM's let's not fu@k this thread up!

« **Reply #24 on:** November 03, 2010, 05:12:39 PM »

My first car was a Limelight Green 70 GTX 440 auto w/ a 4.10 Dana. Moved up next to a 70 'Cuda with a stroker 400 and a pistol grip 4 speed. Thought I was hot shit at 19. At the same time my younger sister moves from a Cali styled Datsun p/u into a cherry 71 Camaro. Twin turbo'd 350, complete leather interior and Recaro's, even Porsche carpet. Previous owner wanted a wannabe Porsche and built this until he could find the "right" one. Now that car will make a young man smile, but it makes a punk ass, skinny blonde with a great job VERY popular.
