i learned to drive a stick on an ol f250 sittin on dads lap. every sat. coming home from the garbage dump- at the age of 5. well, he clutched and i shifted and steered. was cool to me.. at the driving age it was a '74 pea green black soft top chevy malibu. by '87 when we bought it from a 'use it only to go to church on sunday' grandma it only had 3400 miles on it. EVERYTHING was original. no plugs, wires, oil, fuel, changes or nothing. it was a straight six 250. front drivers side of the seat was worn a little from sliding in and out. dad and i barely were able to remove the plugs. we changed everything under the hood, new brakes, tires and installed at the time the pimpinest radio w/ thumpin speakers. once i got a job, a co-worker had a similar car - his was blue w/ white top and his was a 350. did we drag whenever possible..:innocent yeah i lost, just now enough umpf under the hood..:doh:

My dad had something similar to this broken down in the driveway. The deal was I had to rebuild the engine and get it running, and if I could I could have it.
Learned a lot of wrench turning on it...

1953 Buick. It had the old Dynaflow auto tranny and I would get 10 mpg around town and 6 in the winter time. Loved that car. Friend of mine would trade me cars every Friday nite. Said what he wanted to do could not be done in his 59 Vet so we would trade. I never asked him what he did and he never asked what I did. I could have purchased his car for $1100 at the time and I'm still kicking myself for that.

Link Not the actual car.

Dad bought it brand new from Pontiac when he graduated from the USAFA. It was "my car" through high school and part of college. Dad still has it and drives it occasionaly. My hope is to start restoring it to "show quality" in the next year or two. Beautifual looking machine, IMO.:sweet
