Well, actually, this is my first vehicle :)

 

Dad gave it to me when he had to get a new vehicle for tax deduction purposes at work (he got an 09 Silverado). Gave it to me with 280k miles, Got 352k on the clock now. Im sure most of yall know the whole story...

Lime green 1969 Ford Torino (GT I believe).

Wish I still had it now, but it rusted to pieces.

Cool factory hood scoop, 351 Cleveland and an 8 track player.
All I really remember about it, but it was a bad looking car.

I did find out that at 110 mph the headliner blew down over my head.

Never went over 75 after that.. lol

55 Bellaire. I was 16 at the time and it cost $90. A whole weeks pay! My dad put it on blocks and pulled the wheels off until I got my license and insurance. By the time I could afford the insurance I had enlisted in the marines,so the only time I ever drove it was when I brought it home. A whole 2 blocks!

1983 Silverado C10 LWB. I still have her. She's parked out back under our carport. Primered gray, but she's packing a 406 small block. a modded 700R4, and a Richmond 4.10 geared 12-bolt.
