Before we had our C bodies...

[sixpkrt]

...I think its safe to say, many of us had muscle cars.
Found these vids on YT, probably 73/74 circa by seeing some of the Mfg models, and it reminded me of what some of the "older" guys were doing just a few years before I had my drivers license.

And as you are well aware of sixpkrt,, some of us still have some of our muscle cars....
I often wonder why it is some peeps moved away from the muscle cars they had ....

 

[swisherred]

are you saying we got old?

Might have something to do with many now having C-body "stature".

It took almost 30 years to get another muscle car since I last had one, and this ones not going anywhere.

I wouldn't take it that way, but in reality we're all getting older. If you can relate to those videos like me...uh, yep!

Not the same color as my first, but with only 41k on it, it works.

My first car I traded for sheep. Tired of walking to school and in need of anything w an engine. Served me well until I could buy my first REAL car an AAR cuda purchased with actual money. 2 grand.

My brother wrecked the futura when I passed it along to him for free. The cuda fell apart, high horsepower & rust do not mix....

Still have my A-34 R/T.

I am really happy for you. I would love to get my first car back - I still dream about it. I can't track it down or find the guy I sold it to, and I fear it's long gone.

Thanks,
Whew 81 brings back memories, when I was working at a gas station in Scottsdale AZ. On my way back from lunch, I spied a white and black 70 Super bird for sale with 1800 on the windshield. Boss ok'd me being a bit late as he owned the station the bird was parked on as well. Went 2 blocks to my bank, got back with the cash and watched that car driving away . Closest I ever got to owning one. Ended up picking up a 70 sport satellite a few years later.

one of many I've owned

Three of my old cars.

I know it's not a C body, but it was a full size car.
1972 Bel Air Sport Coupe, sold only in Canada. Should never have sold it...

But that was long ago...
