What cool car did you own in your Senior Year of high school?

1971 Barracuda convertible, transplanted 340, Cragers. how'd i let that one get away? will dig up a pic.

 

In '72 it was a 46 Ford coupe with 352, fe 427 cam, automatic. Why did I ever sell it.

 

Own? lol '73 Pinto 2.0/4spd. shaved,bored, balanced, cammed, carbed. Put to shame a lot of V8's in my H/S. and a 1973 Boat tail Riviera when I wanted to be "classy". I also had a 53 Chev PU, that never saw the street until AFTER graduation.....but I got to drive my Dad's 52 Merc whenever I wanted to.

Class of '85, Charles A Sprague H.S. (The Country Club on the Hill) Salem,Or. LOTS of rich kids in that school, I was NOT one of them. My senior year had a bunch of nice cars. '68 RS/SS Camaro, '70 440/4spd Cuda, '69 383 Charger, '70 440 GTX, a couple Corvettes, and a DeLorean....among others.

 

I had a "70 Lemans with a Ram Air 3 400, auto and 12 bolt with 3.55s but I could not keep up with the 2 fast cars at school, a Boss 429 Mustang and a Gremlin with a 427. But I had fun trying until the 12 bolt scattered and then we tore it apart and made a sportsman stock car out of it.

 

class of 84 drove my 47 olds fast back stright 8 and hydro auto every day as long as there was no snow

 

class of 84 -had a 1972 Camaro SS - arrest me red paint ,hello officer headers with glass packs and burned up 3 cassette tapes of ZZtop eliminator...

 

Class of 1985.......LOL...... I was driving a 1976 Pontiac Sunbird. Yucky green with green and white interior. LOL..... many fun times though.

 

Class of 1957

'40 Ford Deluxe Coupe -- 354 Chrysler Hemi engine.

 

In 1969 as a Senior at Neptune H.S. (NJ) I had a 1955 Thunderbird. Paid $1095.00 for it at West Side Ford in Asbury Park NJ. It was a little rusty and tired but I loved that car.
There was a great cruising scene in Asbury Park on the circuit back then and we spent hours just driving around.
I eventually totally restored the car and kept it until 2003 when college tuition for the kids reared its ugly head.
Currently driving a '57 Custom Tudor Sedan. Love those Y Blocks

 

My senior year I had a 46 Ford 2dr with a 302/auto and a 47 Chevy sedan delivery with a 327/3spd and my machine was a 70 Cuda 440/4spd /Dana. I worked and bought/payed for all of them .I was hooked at 16.Thanks Dad, love you for it. I wrenched with love on all 3.

 

Started senior year (1968) with a SBC in a '53 Willies Aero...launched the motor and bought a "62 'vette with a 301...bought the 'vette on a Friday PM and talked to my insurance agent on Monday after school...Vette went back to dealer ASAP. Finished the year with a '62 Olds F-85 with the 215 Aluminum V8 and four speed. Senior year auto shop build was a '62 Falcon w/ 389 Poncho motor.

 

I def had the biggest in my class..1965 Chrysler Imperial. Leaked various fluids which marked the spot for many years later. I was proud.

Also had a black 79 Trans Am and my friend had an orange 69 GTO. This was in 1998-99.

I think the best car I took to school was a family friends 59 caddy eldo conv. red/ white. (also sr prom car)...oh yeaaa.

 

A plymouth Horizon.....the ugly and weak twin sister of the Dodge Omni Turbo

 

72 malibu 350/350. my first car, and i still have it. first malibu was pretty rusty. bought a rust free california body at americruise swap meet in 96, and transferred everything to the new body. painted it between my junior and senior year (that's what got me into body work, which is what i do now), and put the stripes on it at trade school.

 

I can't believe so many people could afford to drive while they were still in high school! And not just drive, but in style! Crazy! I skateboarded or rode my bike. I didn't know working at mc donalds could afford such luxury. Obviously i was wrong.
Ha Ha! Seriously though.

 

When I was in jr. high, there was an attorneys' kid that was the winner two years straight, Daddy bought him a new '68 396-375 SS-RS Camaro in 11th grade, and he showed up with a new '69 428CJ Mach1 for his senior year- took him a week to whack the left rear quarter into a light pole.
Mine, 1974, St.Helena, CA- royal maroon '69 Mach1 with gold stripes, front spoiler and rear wing, and rear window slats- and I've still got it, bought it from my dad in '73

 

I still have my high school car a 1964 Dodge Polara 500 conv 383 4spd. Mileage is still in the high 20's and has orignal roof.

 

Class of 78 in Memphis, TN. I had a 69 Mach I, 351W-4v that I bought very used and abused off a car lot for $400.

 

62 ChevyII nova 2dr hardtop.black with red tuck n roll interior.194 straight 6 with an offy 4 barrell intake and split headers. it was a neat little car! was the oldest car in the school parking lot. graduated in 88

 

Class of 79

70 Chevelle SS 396, Silver, Black vinyl top, got it with a bad motor.
Put a used 427 in it and broke two pistons, rebuilt the 427 and all was good.

We actually used my Falcon during one of my HS bands Beach Boy half time shows my senior year. I've got pictures to prove it around here somewhere. I certainly thought I had the coolest car. My band director had an early Galaxie as well, so to say we got along well, would be an understatement.

 

My first car

Day I got it in 1990



Now

 

A ragged 66 chevelle ss and a 78 kz 900

the year 1984

 

A '41 Plymouth coupe, and a '67 Mercury Comet which I totaled a 1 1/2 years later. The '41 got a restoration that took 4 years to complete. I dated my wife in it, then my dad sold it when I got married. He offered to let me buy out his share but you know the rest.
