1972 Volvo 144S, oxidized green paint, steel wheels with chrome caps, am radio with a single speaker in the dash...
Within the first week I added a Blaupunkt cd player under the dash, some 3 way speaker boxes on the rear deck, and a monstrous sub box and amp in the trunk. It was hilarious and scary at the same time. The car came from a guy that paid a $50 dollar debt to my dad with it, and at the time I had a mtn. bike that I had a few thousand into, definitely funny priorities. |

1978 Plymouth Volare Base 2-Door Coupe with the 318 and 2bbl carb.
God that thing was ugly. Silver with a Burgundy Vinyl top. Bought it cheap as being my fist car, I didn't have a lot of money. It got me around for 3 years before I ended up getting an early 80's model Capri (Mustang look-a-like) with the 302.

1961 Triumph TR3.
No roll-up windows...side curtains. No synchro on 1st gear. The tool kit included a crank. One of the earliest vehicles equipped with front disc brakes. 24 grease zerks (3000 mi interval). Push button starter. I could not have been a more proud owner. Here's an over exposed grainy 8mm home movie (converted to video) of me and it going to my 1967 high school graduation. The passenger is a friend since 1st grade and a business partner for 46 years now. |

2005 Minicooper S, I was 18. Probably still the most fun car I've ever had. Thing drank oil though. You guys are making me feel real young with these 70's and 80's cars.
