Guess that does need some explaining........If you will notice in the avatar......her hair is brown.....I think she was just  a little on the fence to go blond and she found a white wig she wore sometimes........Actually..........she has been blond now for about 40 years as we will be  married 41 in August...........and as Dave..(Challenger HK) said..........she is a sweetheart........ :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

  Congratulations on 40 years together. Not many can say they are still together since school days. Did you let her keep the Camero? 

 My high school sweetheart drove a plain ol' Mustang 289-2 barrel. Met her cruising State Street where most everyone gathered on the weekends. Unfortunately she had to pick me up some nights when the Challenger was acting up which was quite embarrassing. She let me drive though. :)

Dont have a pic, 17 at the time my first was a 68 roadrunner, 383 magnum, 4 speed, sort of a burgundy color with white vinyl top and white interior.  Sold it soon after I scared the crap out of myself with it,(to fast for a slight curve, but never left the road).

I had those same slotted mag wheels on my 'Cuda back in the 80s.  I really like them.  They are just so cool.  I still have my old set.  They are not on my car anymore but I just can't bring myself to sell them.

TinCuda.... I had the same thought when I pulled these pictures out.... slots looked good! 

Grancuda... it's in bad shape beyond what it's worth and I parted with the matching 340 back in the day... too bad, it's a BS car but I dont have fender tag.  I plan to use the posi rear and 4 spd set-up to convert one of my earlier models, following current project  :bricks1:

Correction. That pic was taken in '83! (I'm slipping!)  Thanks! No I sold that one and bought this one... I wanted a big block.


This one was sold also.  :walkaway:
I bought my current one in 2010.
