[beater68427]

I always find this interesting, Usually people in the Muscle Car scene found thier love for them by the first ride they had, This is mine a 1971 R/T Challenger tripple green 383 mag 355 gears, I grew up in Topeka Kansas and got this car for my 14th birthday, you got your license at 14 back then I really could not imagine that now... I spent alot of time street racing and crusing Topeka Blvd in that, never the fastest but sure went through tires, Lets see some first ride pics or first love I should say.

1980 VW Rabbit. Got it at 16 years old. Savings from my paper route. Figured out that was stupid so I then got a '70 Barracuda from the original owner.

76 Camaro Rally Sport with a dog of a 305 auto. Not the quickest by any means, but it was a blast with the Hurst Hatch T-Tops. I thought I was the shiite back then, lol.

1969 Chevy Nova originally a 307 NON SS car. I bought the car when I was 15. Yes, I did go out and drive it once before I officially had my license which was very stupid!! Especially what I did to the car, 327 motor punched 30 over, mildy built w/Edelbrock Performer Cam, Performer intake, Holley 600, Blackjack Headers thru Sonic Turbo Mufflers.. Also had a turbo 350 trans with a big ole' Hurst Indy Floor Shifter.

Everyone thought it was a 4 speed.. That tranny was awesome. I put a B&M shift kit in it and it would always chirp the tires from 1st to 2nd gear no matter how hard you were on it. If you were really hard on it, it would break the tires loose and lay a nice stretch of rubber..

I later put a Nitrous Power Shot system on it which really woke it up and installed 4:11 gears... The car screamed at this point!! I did a lot of street racing in high school with it. My buddy had a 72 Plymouth Scamp with a built 360 and Nitrous. He and I had the fastest cars in our high school at the time, hands down!!

Car ran in the 12s depending on traction. Here are some pictures of her.. She wasn't real pretty but I was a teenage kid, I didn't care I just wanted to go fast and make lots of noise!! She is no longer, I pulled the motor and trans about 9 years ago and sold the shell. The body and floors were rough on the car. It had always been up north and seen some winters... What a fun car though!!
