Re: First muscle car,year bought
My very first muscle car was a 289-271 Ford, Sport Coupe, 4 speed. In 1966, I bought an L-79, non SS Nova, bench seat with 4 speed. I then bought the Harrell Nova with the automatic. I played with all these cars on the street and had a grand time. I think the law enforcement officers had about as much fun in trying to catch us as we did in trying to avoid them? Just a quick story about getting hung up at a drive in with the headers wide open. I noticed before I left out, there was the police sitting across the street. Upon further observence, there were two more police cars, one behind and one down the street waiting for me to leave. Well I had to drink another soda or two in hopes they would leave, but they didn't. Well what did we do, we fetched a log chain and pulled the thing out of the lot in front of them and took it to a friends garage, where the rest of the exhaust system was. Put the exhaust back on and went merrily on our way. All 3 of these cars were bought new.
