Spent my savings on a car that was wrecked in the front and another that was smashed in the back. About a year of working with my Dad in the garage and it was ready to roll.

One of the best years of my life as I recall. Man I miss my Dad sometimes.

1976 Datsun Kingcab pickup manual tranny

I miss those compact pickup trucks (Mitsu Mighty Max, Chevy Luv, Toyota Hi Lux, et al . . .). Don't take up such a large footprint in the driveway. Nearly all small pickups are actually midsize these days.

I learned to drive in my parents 1967 Cadillac needless to say it was kind of embarrassing when you're a teen. My father later gave me his 1957 Chevy step side with a 283 engine and 3 on the column. The first car that I bought was 1967 Chevelle SS 396 with an L78 engine and Muncie 4 speed. Next I bought a 1956 Chevy with a pumped up small block that got 4 miles per gallon. Then I owned a 1969 Camero SS, 1969 Z28 with factory cross-ram, 1970 Chevelle 454 LS6, 1963 Porsche S90, 1964 Porsche SC. Who knew that all of these cars would now be worth a small fortune.
