6.7L Cummins Forum

When I was 14, I bought my first car. It was a 1949 Studebaker Convertible, paid $10.00 for....Damn, I wish I still had that car.
What was yours??

At 15 it was a 1965 Ford Galaxy 500 4 door with a 3 speed on the tree and an FE (352 truck) motor, 3.21 gears, no PS or PB or AC and an 8 track tape player with 'Deep Purple' in it.

I too had a ford. 57 Ford fairlane 2 door, 2tone black and gold, with the tube radio that you turned on and about 5 miles down the road it would come on. Vacuum Wipers that I would have to speed up to 60 and let off the gas to get them to work. What a boat when you consider this was the 70's and the other guys were driving 65 mustangs, Barracudas, Goats and Camaros but I did have a couple of things they didn't and that was a lot of room in both the front and the back........... to bad I was scared of girls then. LOL

I built the engine in mine and used LeMans and CJ parts, Figured it made about 400 HP, Headers weren't made for it so, A friend and I made a custom Dual set up with 3" pipes. Put a floor shifter in it, LTD wagon front drum brakes, MOOG Cargo coil springs all the way around, Mercury Montclair front and back seats. I got clocked going 145 MPH through town one friday afternoon by the SP, (Had a friend on the force then, he said that they weren't going to chase me because at that speed I wouldn't last long and they could just come by with a stick and a spoon to clean up the mess afterwards). Used to drag race it for some extra cash, 1/4 mile was pretty poor, but run for top end, Hold on to your britches!! Squeel the tires when you grabbed 3rd at 90+. They sure don't make like that any more. It was white when I bought it but 5 cases of black spray paint fixed that.

Mine had no anything...Used it to jump ditches on the farm...What fun I had
Second car was a 58 Chevy Belair Hardtop...283 power pack 4 BBL, bored .060 over, 3/4 cam...power glide transmission 95 MPH quarter mile. Bury the needle top end on recapped tires...Wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed back then.

Peugeot 403. Four on the tree. Worm drive diff, sunroof. Light switch where the turn signal should be. Turn signal was on the other side of the steering wheel. Three lug wheels.

1980 Mercury Capri with a little 6 Banger in it. I beat the hell out of that car then sold it two years later for what I paid for it.

1978 Chevy Impala with a 350 4 door. Was given to me when my grandmother died. sometimes i wish i still had the car to do a restoration to it.

38' Chevy coupe with a 283 in it. Had about 3/4 of a turn of play in the steering wheel. Vis-A'-Vis mentioned a Powerglide tranny. The drag racers are using those things nowadays. They're cast iron.

Was in the Army, just married with a baby on the way...... That translates to a white, worn out, 1960 Mercury Comet, 2 door station wagon. Had a killer 200 cu in six with 3 on the tree. Like Squid said, it had variable speed wipers, (the speed varied on the gas pedal position). AND, it had the high performance red vinyl upholstery. A/C was provided by crank windows. Eat your heart out.
