I used to have a 65' myslf when I was 16 in high school, back in 1990. In 91' I got my grandfathers 74' nova which is on the back for a few years now. Last time I raced it, It went 10.28 spinning on n20 with a 415ci smallblock on 9" slicks.

This is a link to a thread I already posted some pictures of my future project. It may not look like much but it has a lot of sentimental value to me. I've got plans for it in the future but between college and work its hard right now.

Here are two of my. The cars are at my Grandma's house. My Grandma is 93! The Mustang used to be hers.

Here is a better pic of the big green car. Its a 1953 Pontiac Chieftain. It still has the original straight 8. Its the first car I ever owned. I love this car.

Here is a better pic of the Mustang (sorta, its really kinda blurry). Its a basic 1969 with some really weird options. If I didnt have my truck the Stang would be my driver.


I also have my drag car but that is at my friends shop. Ill have to get pics of it later. All of these pics where taken with a very low quality camera phone. I dont know if it translates in the pics but both cars are covered in dust, lots of dust.

Thanx.. Both are very original still.

The Mustang has only 60K on the odometer. When I got it the date code on the tires was from 1978! I have always like the lines of the vintage Mustangs. If I where to do anything with it I would drop in a modern fuel injected motor (a LS1 will fit nicely) and turn it into a g machine.

The big green car has a similar history. It had only 20K on it when I got it. It was only driven for two years before it was park... Apparently my Grandmothers brother (would that be my great uncle?) went to trade it in on a new Pontiac in 1955. Got in an argument about the value on the trade in and said "For that little money I would rather let it sit in my barn". and he did. LOL

I got one but Im still in the process of making a website to chronicle it and host pics. Be advised though, it's no hot-rod.
