1971 Ford Maverick Grabber 302 V-8 4V 5.11 gears C-4 A/T Very Fast!! 14.6
sec. E.T. 98 mph 1/4 mile times. Top Speed was only 116 though. I went
through 4 sets of tires in 12,000 miles and Guarantee Auto replaced them
for free until the last time when they found great big gobs of rubber in
the rear wheelwells from all my burnouts. ( they used to have tread
wearout warranties in those days.

Traded that in on a Brand New 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass S 455 with W-30
package Midnight Blue With White swivel bucket seats(Remember those?). Man
those were the days, 19 years old, new job in a machine shop, just
married, and I got credit for a Brand New Car with only 1500 dollars down.
Of course the whole car only cost 5154.00 US.

So what rides did you have in your teens? How did you fix them up.

In high school I originally had to share a car with 2 of my sisters
(OMG). I think it was an early 1960's Rambler.

I finally got my own ride Junior year...........a 1964 Chevelle Malibu
with an Earl Sheib paint job, a Thrush muffler and moonie caps on the
wheels.

I eventually sold that and bought a 1965 Chevy Impala Convertible (bought
it from the owner of the gas station I worked part time for).

That car lasted me till it was stolen and I replaced it with a '64 Ford
Galaxy I got for a steal from a neighbor.

End of teenage cars.

So how about you?
