Fortunately my Dad signed for me. Payments were I recall 63.00 a month and I paid every cent of them. It was advertised in the local newspaper classified section. Originally, I was trying to buy a GTO, 69 I believe. It had a 427 stuffed under the hood. Dad had heard a description of it and said he wouldn’t sign because it looked and sounded like a race car. The Yenko would have run circles around that GTO. Gosh, seat belts? No way. We didn’t even consider wearing them then. Amazing I didn’t get hurt in that car.

64 Vette first car I had back in 1977. Had a 67 front end, flares and a 396/375 out of a 68 Camaro. Second picture is when I saw it again around 1995… Should have bought it back, I messed up!

4th of July parade 1975ish . Was around this time I was around 11 or 12 my dad told me to go in the garage and pick out something red I would like to have . Had to choose between a new red Schwinn 10 speed a wheel barrel or the roadster . I picked the roadster , was happy to keep pedaling my 3 speed bike . Ended up getting the ten speed later after all and dad kept his end of bargain after all conditions and stipulations were met . Thanks pops !

----I believe those red-lines are the original Firestones that would have been available in 1967. The stripe was further towards the tread than other tire manufacturers. Also Sal (an old friend) is a real clean freak,,,LOL!....Bill S

1970 charger R/T. 440 six pack, 4 speed with a Dana 60 rear-end. Paid 600$ in 1978. Those formula one super stocks didn't last very long. We were out street racing at least three nights a week.

Looks like the photo of the 70 Charger has deteriorated a bit. What was the actual color? That is a very rare car indeed!
