Lessee...in chronological order, starting in 1967: '37 La Salle coupe. Big black thing '61 Studebaker Lark VIII convertible '64 Malibu SS 283 w/ powerglide and AC. Stone immaculate. I sold it to a used car guy and his son totaled it. '65 GTO Post car 389 tripower, 4-speed and 4.33 rear gears. pretty quick '69 Camaro RS 327 with a 4-speed I miss this one too. My 1st 140 MPH car '73 Nova 6 and a PG (ick). Got rid of it quick '66 Le Mans with a Stage III 400 Judge motor and a 400 THM. Tire smoke, anyone? My second 140 MPH car- blew it up '65 Malibu 300 I put a 327 and a 350 THM in it. My third 140 MPH car man those tickets were expensive '63 Dart slant 6. must have been bred from a stone and another dodge. Damn, that thing was slow. But it had some serious competition in its forerunners. '64 Impala convertible, special HP 327 4 speed and 3.90 rear gears. Blew up the trans and the rear, rebuilt the whole car. nice ride Got married here- 1981 '69 Nova 250 CI 6 with a PG. good speed and mileage This was the wife's first car. '73 Vega coupe '72 Vega panel wagon I put a GT engine it it. It had the "performance" axle- a 3.36. B&M shift kit. for a little 4-banger that little critter could get with the program. '71 Vega wagon with a '57 Corvette 283. Fun! There are about 20 more Vegas in here that I'm not going to cover. I used to buy these things for $100 to $300 with popped engines. I'd fix them (top of the line- new radiator, rebuilt short block with steel sleeves, valve job, full tuneup, etc. I could flip one in a day, and made $500 on average. I did this to make ends meet after I got married- I was still in University then. '56 Chevy 210 wagon. I completely "restored" this with nice paint, upholstery, A/C, B&M trans, etc. '57 Vette motor...see above. Wife got tired of it, sold it, got...ewww '82 Caprice wagon '83 Chevy Celebrity '85 Pontiac Parisienne wagon '65 Le Mans convertible...sold to make the mortgage in '92 Did you know that the word "mortgage" is French? It literally means death- mort, measure- gage. kind of depressing, really. but at least I kept the house. '88 Celebrity wagon with a V-6. Got rear ended, shortened up a foot by a Bronco. I still have trouble with my neck, that was in '97. '82 Regal. It must have interbred with that '63 Dart somewhere in its ancestry. Boy was it a stone. Something wrong with that one for sure. It replaced the Celebrity. '72 Lemans 400 with a 400 THM. Split a heater hose and roasted it before I could pull over. Turned out to be a real rustbucket underneath. I had put a 305 Chevy with a 700 4(R) in it. Gutted it for disc brakes, etc, for the '68* Skylark California GS. Bought in April 2000. As of now, I've had it just over 11 years. Got all the body work done, painted it, new carpet, door and trunk gaskets. It sure was purty. Used it for years as a daily driver, 18+ MPG with the 305 Chevy and 700 trans. Yeah, kill me for sacrilege. At least I still have it. Wrecked it in '04, started fixing it, my oldest son wrecked it again. It's getting back there, slowly but surely. 2000* Astrovan for the wife in 2000. 2005* Corolla in 2004. Had to quit killing the Buick on the 405 freeway. I expect the Corolla to pay for itself in lowered fuel costs by the time it has 150,000 miles on it. Note that I spent 15k on it. It has had $8000 worth of repair work done to it, almost all under warranty. Legendary quality. See if I buy another. Years are mixed here. '75 Dart that my oldest son totaled within 2 weeks of getting his driver's license. '88 Olds Cutlass that replaced that '75 Dart. had about 3 accidents with it. ruined a couple of years later. leaked oil and he wouldn't check it. He walked/rode a bike/bus/bummed rides for about 3 years, now he's got another car that HE makes the payments and insurance on. HA! Tough love works. '70* Dart. Came cheap with a slant six with a rod like a pretzel. Now it has a 318. nice car, for a Dodge. I'll never buy another Dodge. I bleed every time I work on that thing. The son who has the Dart has even commented on how easy the Buick is to fix Vs the Dodge. '70* Chevy 3/4 ton truck. Inherited from my father in law. Bad way to get a truck, he was really a nice guy. * means it's still in the stable.
