My first car was a 55 Chevy 4 door sedan with a 235 and a 3 speed. I bought it when I was freshman in high school. I paid $25 for it. I borrowed the $25 from my father, cut grass all summer to pay him back. This was the spring of 67, I didn't get a drivers license until July 69. I bought/sold/traded cars, had 7 or 8 before I got my license.
My first street car was a 63 Biscayne station wagon with a 230 and a 3 speed. My dad gave it to me to make up for the 63 Tempest convertible after my brother blew up the transmission. In the fall of 69 I took it to Englishtown and ran U/Stock. First time out I ran 20's, was runner up. I put a Hurst floor shift in, got into the 19's, and won class the next 4 weeks.
