What did you drive in high school?

[kghjr]

When dad was home, I drove this. Not a babe magnet but it would go anywhere with a ton of people and built in surfboard rack. 4-cylinder hemi, 4-on-the-tree.



When he was at sea for nine months, I stole his. Yup, I was a rotten kid and karma got me, all three kids wrecked my cars, totaled in two cases. The good side, not a scratch on anyone.



Cruising Sunset Strip in '64 was a trip in itself in this thing. It was definitely a babe magnet.

[Sooner or later]

A blue 1967 Mustang coupe.

Auto, 289. No air. No power anything.

I installed a Learjet 8 track, headers, Cherry Bomb glass packs, Holly 600, Edlebrock., Cragars and Uniroyal Tiger Paws F70 14.

In high school I had a Honda 125, then a Triumph 650 - yes it did make a diffrence.

Or if she was in a good mood I got to borrow my mum's Holden EH which is a New Zealand Australia made GM sorta car.

1st car:


About the same condition as above(pic from the net) when I bought it. Paid $150, rust and dents on every panel.

Next car was a Fiat, 128-3p Had alot of fun with that car, kind of wish I kept it. Like this, but it was dark blue:

without looking... can you guess the car I had and the approx. year?

I bet Paul can do it...

[Sarc]

Don't judge.

I started off with a barnfind 64 1/2 Mustang with a a260 V8. Pulled the motor and it was junk, sold it. Then bought a 63 Crew Cab for $275. Kept that and got into 240Zs. Good times.

the pic of the Z below is from a CL ad about 2 years ago and could have been my car from 35 years ago. Will never know, sold before I could see it.

Fast times at Woodside High.

[Ayles]

1978 Cutlass Supreme Brougham

[URY914]

1970 pale snail VW Bug

[JavaBrewer]

'77 Datsun King Cab (like this one) but mine had oxidized orange paint. I added the white spoke wheels popular at the time and hand polished the paint back to a shine. Added a cassette stereo, pioneer door speakers, and sliding rear window. Loved it!

[A930Rocket]

1974 VW Super Beetle.

Drove it into the ground and repaired it multiple times. It would go anywhere.

Not mine, but just like this one.

[Icemaster]

1975 Toyota Celica with after market pop-up sunroof and louvers on the rear window, orange peeled silver paint but reliable as all hell. Learned to wrench on it.




Went to a '77 Cutlass with t-tops after the Celica was totaled out. Not my car but nearly identical to this one. Also reliable as all hell and got me into (and out of) a lot of trouble.

[GothingNC]

Red 69 AMC Javelin with the straight 6.
Not as nice as this one.

[944 S2]

76 Capri. 75 in second!

First car was a 1971 Dodge Colt, 4 cyl, auto and slowwwwww... I blew up the engine spinning a connectiing rod bearing. I tore it down, rebuilt it and sold it to get my second car.




Second car I drove my junior and senior years was a 1967 Mustang that had a 1982 302 swapped in. 4 speed with a Hurst shifter, headers Thrush glass packs, and yellow traction bars. Crager SS Rims with 60 series tires all around.

The PO put a larger carb on it and a cam of some sort I cannot remember anymore.

I loved that car, during my senior year I was rear ended in a snow storm by a classmate on my way to school. Yes, we went to school in snow storms in the 80's.


I found a 1968 Mustang that had a great polished metal interior. I drove it for a couple of months until I graduated then swapped all the driveline from the 67 over along with the awesome exhaust and rims.

This is almost its clone

59' Austin Healey 100-6 two seater, which I still own, after 44 years! It was red when I was in high school. I was planning on restoring it again, but I think its time to let it go.

[expatriot98]

1970 Javelin SST, 360, 4 bbl, 4 speed, Go Package. Exactly this car with a full vinyl top. It was fast.
