76 Honda Civic. Piece of crap.
sold it, and bought a 1972 VW Beetle type 1. Best car I've ever owned. It was school bus yellow. I regret selling it.

'74 Camaro. Bought it used for $2200 in 1979 from Coleman Oldsmobile on Airline. Although it sounds like a cool car these vehicles from the pollution control era. It had a stock 350 cu. in. engine with a 2 barrel carburetor. Produced 145 HP which has to be easily the lowest power of any 350 in the history of the engine.

Baby blue 1971 Ford Galaxy 500 with 351 Cleveland my Dad and 1 of his truck drivers rebuilt the engine. Took under 2 weeks for me to break a motor mount and shred the fan shroud.

Similar to this but larger hubcaps and black rims instead of the paint. Florida and New Orleans sun had faded it to near white. Navy Blue interior too.



Only drove it about 6 months till parents gave me one of the 1st 30 Toyota Tercel delivered to Memphis. That car increased in value by 150% in the 1st few years. Toyota grossly underestimated the popularity.

Mine was white 5-speed. Rolled it on left side into a ditch one night partying on a double date. Cost $220 to repair the entire side including paint.
