What car/bike did you drive in High school

[intocarss]

I had a 1968 SS Chevelle then traded that for a V8 GT Vega in my senior year (class of 78)

[jy211]

1968 camaro - same one in my sig but way different :thumbsup:

[Flash68]

74 Nova. Canary yellow with a spray painted black hood and McCreary dirt track meats on the back. I was a long lost relative of Joe Dirt. :D

[OLDFLM]

My Firebird was my first car/high school car... here's how it looked in Sep 85 with Keystone Klassics and the obligitory air shocks and yellow slapper traction bars! LOL

[Bucketlist2012]

I graduated early at 16, so I did not get to drive much in High School.

But it was a 1965 Chrysler 4 door Newport....Haha:getout:

Right after I graduated, I got a 1970Camaro SS 4 speed with Bias Ply Tires...

[rstone]

1968 Chevelle SS396

[Firebirdsteve]

1975 Malibu Classic
Spent to much money on that #%@^ing car!!!

[John510]

A pea-green (Palisade Green) 1970 Firebird Formula that I dragged out of a farmers field. Looked identical to this...

And talk about your "coming full circle", the new project is a 1970 Firebird that I thought was red, until I removed the fenders... Yep, Palasade Green!!!

1970 Chevrolet. Monte Carlo

My pops gave it to me.. 454... Wicked fast!
Bench front seat. Even remember carrying a few buddies in the trunk to get to a house party!

Shuttled the girls to school! Good times!:lol:

Gas was cheap then!

Looked like this:

[intocarss]

well that was a bonehead move. :bang: I agree DG. But back then (70's & 80's) Camaros, Novas and Chevelles were a dime a dozen

A V8 Vega was rare and fast :mock:

[GregWeld]

I drove a '55 Nomad... two tone beige and Ivory... 3 speed on the column... and then a '66 Corvette 327/300hp A/C PW Coupe... Graduated in 1970 and you could buy a nice '55 Chevy for $600.... my 'Vette was $2800. My insurance was $40 PER MONTH which was OUTRAGEOUS!

[HEEP]

Drove my '70 Chevelle. Still got it. Will be starting a build thread soon. Paid $150 for it.

[gearheads78]

Mustang GT killin' 1956 Bug with 2110 stroker motor. Ran low 13's on 165-15 radials. If I only knew then what I know now I could have made a bunch of money with that car. I would be willing to bet it would have went well in to the 11's with traction.

[Todd in vancouver]

My first car was a big block Dodge Challenger. In my last two years of High school I blew up 3 engines. Apparently I trouble hearing valve float and thought I could rev it like all my friends with SBC. :G-Dub:

[pw2006]

Bought a 71 nova 307/powerglide when I was 13. Tore the care apart, rebuilt a 350 and th350 in our barn, bought parts as my summer job would allow, painted it at my buddies farm and had a pretty nice car ready for my 16th birthday. Good times!

[waynieZ]

I got my license on Dec. 5. 1971 exactly 6 months to the day I turned 16. I had a 66 Chevelle SS ( I put more mile pushing it than driving. ) , I had the SS until April 19, 1972 when I found my first love 69 X33 Z/28 red with black stripes, console with gauges and dash tach and spoilers 16,000 miles for $2200 plus the Chevelle. I proceeded to abuse here for 2 years. until she left me. :bang:

Class of "73" Voted most likely to abuse a motor vehicle!
I still have the bill of sale for the Z/28

[glassman]

A 71 rs camaro.

Btw, does anyone know how to do a photo on here with out photobucket from my iPad? Photobucket's Effed up right now, I can't load or transfer on this mobile pad??????

[srh3trinity]

I had an 87 Camaro Sport Coupe with a 305. It ran great and I miss that car tremendously. I would buy it in a heartbeat today. I want to build a version of that car one day.

[DBasher]

First purchase was a 54 Chev 5 window pick'em up, ended up selling it to go on Americruise with my brother. I drove a real nice mini camaro, you know a 72 Celica:thumbsup:
I had so much fun in that thing, 20R with a 4spd and slotted mags...15.60 at HS drags.:D

I wouldn't mind finding another one...:peepwall:

[Bucketlist2012]

when i lived in california in the mid 80's and was going to american motorcycle school, one of my buddies had a newport. he cut a hole in the back seat so you could reach right into the trunk. we would hit 3 or 4 hotels empty the ice machines into the trunk, fill it with 9 or 10 cases of beer then go on a road trip for the weekend, to what ever motorsport event was going on that weekend, we were piss broke so it was old Milwaukee and sneaking into all the races, events, etc. every day after school we would hit the bar with the best happy hour food for dinner, with 1 draft beer, talk about cheap living. dayum those were some fun times. lol

Them was fun times...:thumbsup:

I did have an X1/9 after High school where we could pull the floor plugs in the front compartment and fit a 15 gallon Keg in it and go to the drive in movies...The front 1/8 panels, not 1/4 panles because the car was too small, would frost up from the Ice...

I went in to go pee and when I came out ,my friends had turned the car sideways between the speakers..

I am sure we were obnoxious and wrecked the movie for others..

That same night I went to Jail for a DUI and they found another friend in the gutter in front of his house...1979....Them was the days...:thumbsup:

[Simmo]

96 RGV250T - First road bike :thumbsup:
88 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo - Those were the glory days of used japanese imports here, I bought the Supra for about the same as a home PC cost back then!

[protour73]

1965 Ford Mustang w/ straight 6 (170 cu.in.- a whopping 101hp) 3 speed stick on the floor, cost $350. The car had no carpeting in it. So I went down to the local carpeting store and picked up some green "shag" carpeting. That was my first ever, modification to a car. Life was very simple back in 1973.

looked almost exactly like this one

Silver/black '82 Nissan 280zx 2+2 ,5-speed, posi, factory blaupunckt audio
Two tone brown 80 Honda cm400 "custom"... same bike was offered as an automatic that year. I am pretty sure a Honda Hurricane lifted it's leg on my wussy little bike regularly but I have no proof.:warning: It was literally a hand-me-down from my Mom. I was still pretty cool on the open road though.:rolleyes:

The year was 1989. I did not get my '68 until June 24th of that year and still have it.

[67rsconvert]

1982 RX-7 and a 1985 Honda VF500 Interceptor. Both really shaped how I view performance and my expectations

[Sieg]

I pretty much have you all smoked - '74 Datsun long bed pickup. At least it was red. :sieg:

Replaced it with a '66 GTO when I graduated in '76.......slight improvement but the truck was definitely a better dirt bike hauler. :D

The same POS I waste money on now a days. There was enough NOS in that engine to put a small rocket into orbit. I think that was the cars 5th engine, my 2nd, and at least the 4th trans.

[DaleTx]

My first ride was a 1962 Ford Van with a 289 engine… and 3 speed column shift. I primmered it, added some nice seats, and a new stereo system. I remember cruising around listening to Ted Nugent “Cat Scratch Fever”, Foghat “Slow Ride” and stuff like that… good music and fun times in the 70’s :D (class of '77).

I bought my 69 Camaro when I was 21 for $2,200 and I’ve had it ever since. Now I just spent twice that to upgrade the trans, Lol.

[Simmo]

dayum dude your first bike was an rgv....how sweet! lucky mofo

I had my 69 camaro that is currently being built. Got it when I was 13 (on my birthday). Was primer gray and 307 3spd manual car. Ended up getting it painted and swapped in a 355 / ST-10 4 speed. Ran ok, but nothing like it will be :)

First car at 14 yrs old 69 Firebird Conv that I have disassembled had dipped and E coated getting her ready for a LS, 6 speed and complete ridetech suspension.

When I was 16 and working at the local HD shop after school bought a 1977 HD Superglide but unfortunately sold it.

[Kenny]

I had 2 modes of transportation as well..... a yellow International with black stripes and Reebok.

It's funny how getting caught at 14 yrs old riding a Yamaha YZ 125 on public roads makes a Judge feel that you should wait until you are 18 before you get to drive legally. It seems the evasion part is what put it over the top.....and the weed.....and the property destruction......the spitting......biting....:bitchslap:

Then my Dad sold my Vega project to make a payment on the fines. He probably did me a favor. I swear when sitting in that car with my hooligan friends, partaking in the hemp and some stolen alcoholic beverages, you could hear it rusting.

Before I got my license my grandparents gave me a 1976 Mazda Cosmo.
http://www.mazdacosmo.com/photo-gallery/
13B rotary (the big rotary) with a 4 barrel carb and automatic. The apex seals in the rotor tips stuck, no compression, and I had to replace the engine before I ever got to drive it. Those rotary engines were so weird. All my buddies couldn't believe it had a tach that went up to 10,000 RPM from the factory.

When I sold that, I bought a 1967 Camaro, hugger orange/white rally stripes on a cowl induction hood, 327, Carter AFB, M20 Muncie and 3.73 Posi. Drove that thru graduation, High School and 4-1/4 years of college. While I was in college the 327 was swapped with a BBC 408 (.060 over 396). Wheel hop with that BBC was wicked, even with slapper bars that thing pounded the rear end. :burnout:

When one of those two cars were dead, I drove a white, 3/4-ton 1969 GMC long bed camper special, 350, 4 barrel and a turbo 400.

Replaced or rebuilt every engine in those before I graduated college.

In 12th grade I bought my sister a Vega and traded her straight up for her 70 Camaro. Put a built 350, mags and exhaust in it and that was what started it all for me.

Edit: I had a member's only jacket too! :D

[tazzz2_ca]

Shared a White 75 L82 auto Corvette with my older brother when I first got a license and finished high school with my own 78 Silver Anniversary Corvette..

Back then we (as a family) had a sweet deal going with a car dealer my dad helped out and the whole family pretty much drove new cars for about 10 months,, flipped through a few courtesy cars,, and then got some of the very early release cars the following year as he was a big dealer up here in Ontario at the time.... We even made money driving them if you can imagine.... It was my job to sell off all the cars every year and the money just kept rolling over into new ones basically as the upside sale price covered the new order price generally...
