Post Your Ride Thread

[ROSTERMAN]

My first licensed ride was a '68 Chevy Impala, 307, with a trunk you could stick four buddies in when you went to the drive in. Two door fast back. Loved that car. Push the front seat back and didn't have to bother hoping into the back for a little lovin'. She was box stock, old lady mufflers, original hubcaps, etc. I wanted a vehicle that didn't stick out 'cause I was moving a little illegal stuff back in high school.
I checked around a few years back to see if'n I could afford to replace her. Nope.

Land Yacht I had a Pont/Bonneville with 400 under hood talk about a big cruiser

My first ride was a 1970 Dodge Super Bee with pop up scoops and i was running headers. Every cop in Irving hated my guts.

I had the exact same car. Mine was silver with a black vinyl top.

My Nova. It had the 5.6L V8 but also, drum brakes. So, it was fast, but you couldn't stop. American car companies refused to pay royalties to use British disc brake patents.

This was my MGC GT. instead of the 1.8L 4 cyl, it had an inline 6 cyl, 3L motor. The gearbox had electrical overdrive on 3rd and 4th, giving 6 ratios. I used to cruise at 100+ on the motorways.

OMG. Please post pictures when that baby arrives!! dont tell me the color!! surprise me.

Well, here she is. Leaving the dealership today and expected to arrive on Wednesday. I need to hurry up and organize the garage to make room for her. I had the roof left unpainted so the carbon fiber is exposed.

My brother had a '68 MGC, in blue, with a rag top. He bought it new from the dealer. All aluminum body, which he thought wouldn't rust in the Michigan winters. Aluminum doesn't rust; it oxidizes, which is the same thing! It had twin factory SU carbs that decided to fart and catch fire one day. He'd just filled up the gas tank, and it happened in a busy intersection. He took off like a scared deer and then realized the electric fuel pump was still feeding gas to the fire. He ran back, burned his hands popping the hood, and beat the flames out with his brand new B-17 style leather jacket. Believe it or not, the insurance company paid for all, including the jacket.

The convertible MGC was very rare. I had one briefly but it was an automatic, and the auto box was lazy and horrible.

And just to prove I really am an ******* (as per the Denis Leary song) I had one of these. A 1972 Cadillac Eldorado. 472 cu.in. (7.7L) V8 FWD. It did about 7 mpg. Finally, the engine caught fire and it went up in flames, for which I was thankful.

 

[WeedHopper]

Those old car bodies were tough as nails unlike the this **** they are made out of nowadays.

 

[Hippie420]

I had a '71 Caddy hearse with a 501 and seven doors. Lacked a hundred pounds of weighing a full three tons. 23 feet, bumper to bumper. Got seven miles to the gallon.

 

[yooper420]

Had a '76 Riviera with a 455 that got 9 mph. My '57 Chevy didn't do much better, suckin' air through 2 factory 4 barrels on it's 283.

You could wrap an old car around a tree on the way home from the Gin Mill and walk away unscathed almost every time
Unless the windshield eats you .

The thing with the Eldorado, the hood was so freaking long that you couldn't see anything on the road that was closer than about 40 or 50 yards away. So at night, if you used dipped headlights, you drove into a pool of darkness - the reach of the dipped beams stopped before your line of sight began. Then there was the ludicrous idea of it being FWD. Put it in auto, hit the go pedal, the front wheels spun, the box changed into top gear, the car stalled, changed down, spun the wheels again... repeat ad nauseam. By a long way, the worst car I ever had.

 

[Carty]

can you tell me what kind of car this is? My best bro out in Vegas owns it... grew up with him modifying all our
rides and we had a few from 240z to 69 GTO to 73 Gran Prix SS 455, 70 Monte Carlo SS 454, 66 Impala 327.. like I said, lots of cars and I miss a bunch... this was between 16 and age 22... what a run... oh 72 Cutless W31

Currently I'm driving the "Axima" .. the M is missing. been waiting for a Toyota 4runner to get rebuilt and it's worth
waiting for... plus he's loaned me a car to drive while we await the heads to be redone and of course all the machine shops are slammed... been 3wks already waiting... ugh.. wtf right? but I've priced other vehicles and no way I can
get this deal anywhere else... hopefully next week I'll be driving it....
