Had the super regeared and pulled 16lbs of boost, 3.1 pulleys on the super, dyno'd at 556hp.

[goneboatin]

I saved up enough money in my sophomore year to by a '73 El Camino SS with a 454. It was kind of a pile, but it had great potential; it had swivel bucket seats, console, and of course a 454. Since I couldn't register it in my name for insurance, (I was 15), my parents registered it in their name. Well, the gas crisis hit in '79 and as a "favor" my parents took it to the Ford dealer and traded it in for me and purchased a '78 Ford Fiesta! I could have cried. A Ford, and an imported one on top of that. They said they that I would have never been able to afford to drive that El Camino with gas over 80 cents a gallon.
That Fiesta lasted a year until someone broke into it and stole the stereo, they did so much damage that the insurance company totaled the car. I went and bought another El Camino, this time a '75 with a smog choked 350. Shortly after graduating I sold it bought a 75 Cosworth Vega. I know now that anything that has Vega in the name means it's a pile of crap.

I was making $350 a week at my job in HS, that's when I said sports suck, money is better.
However, after 10k miles and I needed new tires, some to find out they were $350/tire, I traded that car in. I was always a truck guy until that car. I thought car tires were $70 each... I was wrong. :hammerhea
I have 36" Swapers on my 94 Tahoe, who would have thought that smaller tires cost so much more. :rolleyes:

[NoCal NoBoat]

1970 El Camino. American Torq-Thrusts w/ Goodyear Polyglass 60's, later on
Cragar S/S w/ Radial T/A's. Had the anemic 307, but it sounded better after the Hedman headers and dual exhaust. Gabriel Strider shocks up front and Hi-Jackers out back. Looked good, sounded good - truth was it couldn't get out of its own way...
The "audio package" was the best feature. Motorola 8-track on a slide mount
underneath the factory AM radio in-dash. Pioneer 6x9's in the doors. Bad Company, Robin Trower, Deep Purple, or Led Zepplin in the deck. Tower of Power or Cold Blood when the funk was called for.
Priced one recently at the Goodguys Autumn meet in Pleasanton. Should have kept it...
I still have the t-shirt that the great "Reinero" of Santa Cruz airbrushed for me
at the San Francisco International Auto Show in 1975 or 1976. Nice work...

Grandma didn't want it anymore. Score!! Wait...
Gotta love Grandma.......mine gave me her '67 Ford Galaxie 500 4dr. Thing was so sweet. Even had the wing windows in the front doors that you had to turn a crank to open. 390 with a C-6 tranny to smoke the tires at will. Put 4 sets of 6x9's in there with 4 Coustic 2ch amps so I could blare the surf tunes. No shiat, the trunk was so big that I could fit 3 6' boards in the trunk and still close it. Many times that rig got 7 of us with 7 boards & all our gear to our secret spots.
Damn I miss that car. :cry: :cry: Anyone know of one for sale out there....now that I'm all nostalgic I'd be a sucker for an impulse purchase. :crossx:

Me and a buddy flared the back fenders, shot some primer on it and put 10" M&H Racemaster slicks on it. Still had the 170 CI flathead under the hood, but I could fool a lot of people while it was parked with the motor off..... :D :D Had to watch out for water puddles on the streets or it was time to hang on..... :D :D
Got some good subcontract work remodeling a few McDonald's HVAC systems about the time I graduated and bought a new 3/4 ton Suburban 4X4. Put a big roof rack on it and went hang gliding trips with my buds for a couple of years. We drove to Torrey Pines, Durango, Telluride, Flagstaff, Denver, Salt Lake City.....had a bunch of fun and lived to tell about it. :D :D
Did a couple of nighttime flights at Torrey Pines during a full moon. That was a trip. :crossx: :crossx:

Very, very, Rusty 66 Mustang 289, then a Rusty but fast 76 Datsun280Z then a Nicer 65 Mustang with a tweaked 302. Of course all of these cars were generally in some stage of disasembly or broken, so In reality, I mostly drove my dads 1980 Buick Century four door (not a good 80MPH slalom car) or mom's 1985 Escort, which I blew up at the young age of 14,000 Miles (sorry mom, but don't you think Ford really should have put a rev limiter on it if they didn't want you doing 7000RPM burnouts?).
