My first car was a black vinyl top over burgandy '68 Chevy Impala with a 4 speed 396, all factory. I think it was that last year for a manual trans in a full sized Chevy, and I replaced the 396 with a 427, and the 14" factory Rally wheels with the 15 inchers for the 427. That was quite a car. A month or two ago, I went to Ebay just to see what they had to offer my memories of my first car, and there it was...'68 Caprice, black vinyl over burgandy, and forget if it was a 396 or 427 out of some muscle car dealership from I think...Ft. Worth, TX. They were asking under $12K and I should've bought it. It was all identicle down to the black interior, except was a Caprice to my Impala. And the back seat, huge back seat in a farm field under the stars was the first time for my girlfriend and me, if you know what I mean. No bad memories about that car. I'd love to have it back.
After that, strictly Big Block '68 - '72 Chevelles, Novas, Camaros, and ElCaminos on the street and the strip until I grew up, got old, and fat. These days, Cummins Dodges and field Deeres, ACs, and Masseys with an interest in shoe horning a 440 or 426 Hemi into about a '64 dart or 2 door Studebaker Commander (Bullet front). Back in the day, I did have a friend that towed his '69 Hemi Roadrunner to the strip every Sunday behind his almost identicle '69 Hemi GTX, and he kicked some serious behind, even mine a time or two. Being a Dodge/Plymouth dealer mechanic, he shoe horned one very potent tunnel rammed 440 into his sister's Rambler Rebel, and she used it to embarrass a whole lot of big talkling fellas on the street.
Thanks for the memories of "back in the day", all of them.
