Re: Cars from my past, how about you
I think I still have most of the cars (and trucks) of my past. Nothing too collectible or outstanding. Mostly just sentimental value or family history. I did sell the 72 IH Scout II. There are of course a few regrets and missed opportunities I probably should have bought when I had the chance.

Re: Cars from my past, how about you
First was circa 1982 and my first car was this $200 Mustang Mach I (to the observant eye not too hard to tell where my house was and what kind of family we were, especially note Dad's 67 GT 390, 4 speed Mustang a la "Bullitt" daily driver), second was circa 1984 and my 71 Torino GT Convertible for $1500. Third was my 70 VW for $700 that needed an engine overhaul once I did that a friend had to have it so I ended up selling it to him and buying the white 65 VW in the background & the fourth picture the white 63 Rag Top off my brother when he upgraded to the blue 63 Rag Top in the forth picture.

Re: Cars from my past, how about you
My first licensed "wheels". The 39 Deluxe. Fresh out of my paint shop :0) in the summer of 71. I could do a re shoot of that same photo if I get around to a new ignition coil and fix the brakes. One of these days.

Re: Cars from my past, how about you
High school? '51 Ford 4 door. After college graduation and a new job? 1967 Corvette coupe with a 327/350 4 speed. Now? A '51 Ford coupe and a 1967 Corvette coupe with a 327/350 4 speed (no, not the same car). If nothing else, I am consistent

Re: Cars from my past, how about you
My first car was a 1932 Dodge coupe in 1949, paid $10.00 for it. My favorite of all time is a 1934 Buick Coupe that I hot rodded. 500 C.I 500 H.P. 700R4 trans., 3.00 Ford 8" rear.
and many others, e.g., 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 46, 47, 49, 49, 50, etc. Fords, and a few chebby's.

Re: Cars from my past, how about you
No pictures, but high school through when I got drafted in '70 was a '55 Mercury Montclair with 292 and 4 speed T-10. Had an Isky RPM300 cam and Jahns domed pistons, and a Mallory dual point too. Next old Ford was a '52 Customline two dr. in '83 that I put a 350/300 HP Chevy in with a Muncie 4 speed. Next in 2000 was a '55 Ranch Wagon that I never finished and sold to Steve Fritz on this forum about two years ago (He finished it very nice). Now, looking for a '50 Coupe.
