Plymouth Duster with 6-pack and Hurst 4 speed. It really wasn't that fast though, despite it's reputation.

My Dad's '73 Chrysler Newport that had a trunk long enough to land a small plane on and speedometer that was so wide that you'd lose sight of the needle after you hit 65.

It wasn't until I was 17 that I got my '70 Chevelle SS 396 4-speed ragtop.

'67 Mustang, 302 hi-po, 4 speed, cragars, pos-a-traction tires, black diamond tuck interior, killer 8 track, etc. I loved that car, but the cops would follow me everywhere I went. I bought it at 14 years of age, and my dad helped me rebuild the car.

Hey, screw you, man. Wink Lol, no I didn't wreck them too. The beetle was sold on Jan. 2nd of this year to a guy in PA. He has since done a full pan off resto on it. The Panel was sold about a year and a half ago to a guy in Seabrook, SC. He's been slowly fixing it up while driving it. Been a little over a year since I've seen it.
