Re: Silly Season II What was your 1st Street car &/OR race c
Since I'm sitting in my home office being on the phone stuck on hold or ignore, what better way to remember those cars that created such fun. I started at fourteen years old with buying a 1967 VW bug, what an education, I learned everything from engine rebuild to complete paint and body work, I must have done quite the job because a gentleman walking by one day offered me $2k(1975 price) for which I converted into a 1967 Mustang GT which became my High school transportation until a Petty Blue 70 Super Bird on cement blocks caught my eye and we we're together for four years while I was putting it back together(and driving it). This was before the restoration trend started, just imagine I used the $5k for the purchase of my first house(down payment only) considering that I profited from the sale of my first home I could evaluate my lost to a break even proposition, I've own so many muscle cars since, that I can only say that I should have not taken them for granted.lol My first real race car was a 69 Camaro Stocker and now after an absence of more than 20 yrs I bought a former Don Hardy Vega to race. I hope that I don't run out of gas physically.lol
