My main driver was a 76 Olds 98 LS 4 door. It was like the 6 million dollar man! We can build it better, faster, stronger.
Blew the motor, rebuilt it modified. Blew the trans, rebuilt it modified.
Blew the motor again, rebuilt it even more modified and added a higher stall converter.
Ran mid 12 seconds with a 5000 lb car, and what a surprise - blew the trans again.
Fixed it, and 4 or 5 months later hit a huge snowdrift one night at about 60 mph. Totaled the front end.
Parted it out, and scrapped the body.
Lasted almost 3 years even as bad as I abused it.
My friends all called it "the enterprise" because it was a huge, fast, boat, and could carry 8 (including myself) to go to the beach.
Had a customized 77 Chevy G20 van next, I will not even get into the memories with that one....

94 f150 300 i6. Being an early 90s baby, its all I remember grandpa driving and I grew up in it. Drove it(gave it hell) for years and years. Got a good job, bought a monster truck and let my uncle have it. He daily drives it and tows light loads for his small business.
Its some serious deja vu when I see it driving around.

It's not really clear what my first car was. My dad was the General Sales Manager at Thornton Chevrolet when I started driving. He always had a demo from the dealership to drive but there was always some cool rides in the driveway for me to play with that nobody ever drove but me. The car I learned to drive on was a 69 Chrysler 300 convertible. But it wasn't ever meant to be a daily driver. The first car bought specifically for me was an 80 Monza fast back..not the hatchback model. I got broadsided by an F1000 dump truck that ran a stopsign before it was a year old though. It was replaced by a slightly used 4 cyl Mustang that I hated..so I drove the Convertible till I sold the Mustang and bought a 79 Nova. I also had a 68 Ford stepside F100 and a badass 69 Buick Skylark with a 340. Dad always kept an eye out for cool trade ins he had no interest in driving but bought as an investment/flip/me to play with for awhile. I guess i was kinda spoiled on cars back then. We actually owned the Chrysler 300 conv. 3 different times...sold it, bought it back...sold it, bought it back..It just kept coming back. I took it with me when I got married and moved out and kept it garaged a few years driving it occasionally. The last time I sold it, it needed a top and top motor and it was starting to smoke a bit with 340,000 miles on it. I sold it for 4000 bucks. Many years later, it sold at auction for 125,000...shoulda kept that one a little longer lol
1965 Mustang with about 45,000 on it when I got it. What did I do with it? Ran it hard and put it up wet like the dumb teenage boy I was at the time. I wish I still had it.
'76 Pinto.. with AMP and cheap speakers..sucker was loud baby!
