    Man, now I know I'm gettin' old. It was a '58 Dodge Crusader, 2 dr HT and 3 on the tree. Yanked the flat 6, put in a wide block 318 with a hemi 4 bbl intake and an old WCFB carb and the hemi's dual point dissy, put on dual exhaust and chopped a hole in the floor for the Hurst Synchro Lock I scored out of a totalled 59 Ford for $15 bucks. On a sunny fall day it laid 125 ft of rubber in the high school parking lot. LOL Still brings a grin to my face.  :burnout:

    This would be complicated. I would have to take a pic of it. Put it on Facebook . Brad would have to put it on cc . Because the iPad file is too large.  :clueless:

    What's taking so long?? I thought Brad was suppose to take care of this??  :clapping:

    Ah, great pics and first cars....

    My very first car...
    72 Chally with a 360 out of a Cordoba. Paid $500 for it around 1989.
    Put in a 440 and drove her around with the quarters falling off, and six shades of rust, but I loved her and miss her dearly  :'(  :walkaway:
    ( I think the header panel and grill may have ended up on wagesofsin's Chally if I remember correctly)











    This is all I have left of her :(

    A 1971 Plymouth Duster with a /6.  Paid $800 for it in 1984.  It had less than 50K miles on it.  Little old ladies in small town Missouri don't need to drive much I guess.

    My first car was a 1969 Nova SS 350 with a 3 Speed on the floor, 12 Bolt Limited Slip Rearend
    My Second car (after totalling the first one) was another 1969 Nova SS 350 4 Speed, 12 Bolt Posi
    My Third car was a 1973 Challenger 318 Auto in Bronze with a Black VT & Interior.  Had it for 7 great years
    A good number of cars since then until I picked up my 1970 Challenger T/A in 2010----------------------- which I now have a pending sale on and likely will end my Mopar run as I transition back to the Chevy side with my 1969 Camaro SS Vert in Lemans Blue with White SS/Z Stripes which I am installing an LS1 and a T56 Six Speed!
    I'll still hang out here (if it's okay with everyone), with anticipation of that picture of Jackie (hope you are feeling better girl)!

    1971 challenger 340 purple with a white top auto tranny with a shift kit. White seats with a black interior. I owned it til my dad sold it in 1993 (owned it for 15 years) I still have dreams about getting it back hence the name
