1973 Toyota Celica ST.  18R engine, poor brakes.

Highlights include jumping it Duke of Hazard style, taking it to the fairgrounds to do donuts and more, buying complete wheels and tires at the junkyard for $5 each to avoid mounting fees, the radiator exploding while I was in front of it and having to limp 40 miles home past midnight with burns all over my front and relying on sympathetic convenience clerks to get 44oz cups of water & ice for the radiator (constantly refilling, not cap after explosion), and more.

Great car, did a lot of cool things in it until the police took it away.

PS, did you know that a Celica can go 126 miles per hour if you have no fear of death and poor judgement?

Skuzzy :D

Mine was a 62  Ford Falcon 2 door station wagon.Candy apple red,huge tires on the back.Had a 170 straight 6.Great for drive-in,camping,and lonely country roads.The back bench seat folded down flat.
My brother totaled it one night,while I was at work.:(  My mom had let him "borrow" it.Could have killed them both!

You had to get a run at any large hills,but I had some fun times in that car.

Mine was a 61 Dodge Lancer. It was a homely lil toad but the price was right. The lady that owned it gave it to me for having worked on it for over a year. I kept it running for her until she ran the thing outa oil. Afer she gave it to me I went out, filled thecrankcase and drove off. Later I changed te 170 CI slant 6 for a 225 slant 6. It was a stick shift but due to the misalignment  with the trans. I had 2nd and 3rd gears in oposite positions from normal. I also tore up a clutch plate every 6 weeks or so. After about 3 years I sold it to a Mexican national for $500.00. Both of us were happy. ;)

Sadly there are no pics to express the nerdness of a dinged up Canary Yellow 1968 Ford F100 Stepside Longbed complete with 6 Cylinder, Granny 4 speed, side mounted Spare Tire and no A/C.  I got it after my Grandfather died... But I did install an 8 track and CB radio with an 8 foot whip antenna to make it "cool". :D

First car was a 1960 Falcon 4 door with a 170 CI 6 and 3 on the tree. Great running little car. It was 6 years old when I bought it. Airconditioner worked good too. Under dash type.
