1977 chrysler newport 4 door led sled with a 440 big block in errr. That car was a party machine. My dad always stole it from me he loved driving it. then my dumb ass traded it and a set of 15" subs along with 100 bucks for a 1977 cutlas supreme fastback with a 350 chev in it with the big fatties on the rear. Bad move 350 chevs don't last long under my foot! :D Thats why I drive chryslers now!

For my first car my dad had one requirement and that was to rebuild one from the ground up. So my first car was a 1960 convertable bug. I have had my fair share of cars and this is the only one that I miss. Great first car.

Put Oc's engine into jab's bug and you got my car...Only I don't have it anymore. Had the 56' for 6 years ground up cal/resto and sold it for less than the carbs cost me after I wrecked it... :(
I should have parted it out, but just sold it cause it spent way too much time in my parents driveway. Besides, they bought me a civic si as a replacement... I'll build another sleeeper bug(thinking 12 sec. w/a roof rack :D ) someday, only I'll piss my wife off instead of my mom eek! :p :D
Damn I miss that car...

My first car was a 1972 Chevy Chevelle. Had a 350 Crate motor and a Th350 Trans with a shift kit. Soon after I had bought it I built my first motor. A 355 built pushing 450HP to the wheels. Not bad for my first motor. Got broken into at school a few times and messed up the body. I sold it because I didnt want the BONDO>>. :cool:

My first car was a 74 Pontiac Ventura..when I was 14..it had a 350 BB in it but only had one gear and that was reverse. I learned alot from that car since I had to find a diffrent tranny to bolt into it, so I found another car I used for parts and got this one running sweet...Man would it do awesome burnouts. I have since got into better rides..

66 Chevelle SS 396 Convertible. Pulled out the original 396 and put in a built 427. Car ran 11.6 in the 1/4 as I drove it on the street. Needless to say, it used Gallons Per Mile not Miles Per Gallon. :D

1971 Nova with a 350 and turbo 400. A couple month later my dad gave me his 64 GTO that he had fully restored. That car was the S**T!! I wish I still had it.
1964 GTO, 389 w/ Tri-Power, M-22 tranny. Very fun and fast car. I was turning low 12's on street tires and no traction.
My dad has a 69 SS 396 El Camino with 40k original miles. The car is all original and nearly flawless. He wants to sell it, anybody know what it is worth?

Pretty much whatever a collector is willing to pay but I would guess he could get $30,000 or so for it. Probably more if he was willing to let it go to an Australian collector.
