First car was a 64 impala ss, 327, four speed. Paid nine hundred bucks for it. Second was a 64 nova. Drop't the 327 in it,m22 muncie, mr gasket in line shifter,11 inch webber clutch. Oh man it was quik. Next,I got the first Datson truck converted to four wheel drive at four wheel drive engineering in slc. Put a 225 dantless motor in it, saginaw power steering and on and on.
Funny how things come full circle. Now I have an 84 toyota in the garage nearing completion (ok, I know they are never done) with a 5.0 liter t bird motor I've shoe horned into it. C6 trans with a 5.0 atlas behind it. full width 60 and 14 bolt. 4 linked front and rear, full hydro steering. My wife wants her parking place back. Uhm, soon dear soon.
My wife likes to remind me that its been 3 years since she could park in the garage. I give her the same reply
1971 Ford Ranchero 302, C6 and fast. Grey w/ one orange front fender w/ a yellow racing stripe after I slipped off an icy road and into a tree Drove it from 16 to 18 till I slipped on Black ice on I-15 and got side swipped and then hit headon.
Yep I was supper popular w/ the ladies in highschool
My first car was a 1978 LTD 2, piece of $300 Junk, but it lasted for a few years.
My First wheeler was a 1971 Jeep Wagoneer, Baby Blue, Spray foam in all of the rust holes, and the drivers door didnt open after it jumped into gear and pulled it all the way back.
