I graduated in 95... had an '89 Mustang LX hatchback. The four banger was a pig, but I loved it. Had it through 3 years of high school, 4 years of college, and a year after... only had to do a clutch and heater core. Not bad for $3000.
I drove a 68 Impala 2-door Custom, rebuilt 327 with a Rochester 4-bbl, headers and exhaust. It made about 300 hp at the wheels and ate my Powerglide transmissions for lunch!
Oh yeah, that's me. And my hair. :wink:
LOL... What's up with people back then...:biggrin:
I drove a white 1983 Dodge Aries K station wagon. I think it was only one ever made with a four speed manual tranny and front bench seat. :biggrin: I installed a kick-a$$ sony stereo and all of my friends learned how to drive shift on that car.
My 1st car and my ride in HS was a yellow 1967 Rambler Rebel SST Conv't. I lost pictures of it, but below was what it looked like, except for being yellow that is.
OMG!!! - My dad had a white '82 Aries K with a 4-speed and bench seats. The day he traded it in for an '87 S-10, the K-car started on fire right at the dealership!
I started off with the same car... went through 3 cams...

You had to be there...
You'd puke if you knew what Yenko's go for through Barret Jackson.:biggrin:'69 Yenko Chevelle........427/450HP Auto w/4.11's. 1st thing I did was peeled all the white plastic stripes off the body and the "YSC" letters off the headrests. It was a Fathom Green HT w/black buckets. If I'm not mistaken the MSRP was about $3600. The only giveaway was a small Yenko insignia I left on the on the dash.
I put Mickey Thompson Super Scavenger headers & Mickey Thompson wide ovals on the rear + a Hydromotive manual control valve body in the transmission....it would only shift manually and hard. I only have one picture and if I can find it I'll post it. It was sleeper that would eat just about anything on the street. (it was 1 of 99 Yenko Chevelles made in 1969)
A good friend had a '65 Z-16 SS-396 Chevelle, 4 speed muncie- Red w/black vinyl top. Unbelievable car in stock form. I think that car was 1 of about 200 made.
If only we knew then what these cars would be worth down the road! (BTW, my very 1st car was a Burgundy '63 Ford Falcon Futura 4 door sedan, 3 on the tree)
