1984 Camaro, had it for a year. Made $100 when selling and it went out to the Tomahawk area. Could only park in driveway if it had a oil catch pan under it.

1964 Dodge, push button transmission, 225 slant six. Sold my 10 speed for $110.00 and bought this for $90.00. Had so much bondo on it, hard for radar to pick it up. Oil pressure light would always go on when I turned left too hard. Learned a lot about fixing stuff on that one.

Mine was a '78 Ford LTD 2 door. White with a green interior. Roughly 78' long, but had a 460, and power everything inside. Nice car if you were 75 years old, but had many a saturday night party in that big ol' backseat.

1974 Mercury Capri! Orange and brown paint and if you leaned on the car the paint would rub off on your clothes. Siezed the engine pulling it into the driveway on the way home from buying it, thank god my uncle was an engine mechanic. Stupid car would burn rubber in all 4 gears with little skinny tires and didn't have a heater for the winter I owned it.

Back in 1980 I got a 1960 ford 500 with a seized motor tried towing it and popping the clutch to get it unseized but that didn't work just kept skidding the tires so we got a round block of wood and started pounding on the pistons till it finally came loose drove it around Edmonton for a few months with no brakes till I eventually changed every rubber in the brake cylinders car didn't have a muffler so at least you could hear me coming and get out of the way
