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

Damn, when you see the subject in the list just skip past it! What's the big deal? There was over 500 posts so somebody sure as hell didn't get the message that it's been covered before....

 

None. I grew up so poor that if I didn't wake up with a boner I had nothing to play with all day!

 

Senior year was 1984 and I had a 1978 Camaro.

 

A 1957 Chevy conv in 1964. The problem I graduated HS in 1963. I had a size 10 penny lofers. However, as you can see by my avatar I made up for it 10 fold.

 

grad '82... 1976 Vette, white with tan interior. oh yeah.. Chevette that is. I had a 56 Chev wagon on blocks though.

 

I had a 1931 model a in 8th grade...

 

In 1974 had a 69 GTO dark green pretty stock with 400/auto, I thought it looked great with those hidden headlight, I wish I had some cash back then you could buy GTO's, Camaro's , Firebird's etc in my area for $600. - $900. have you seen what a GTO goes for nowdays.

 

Had a 1964 Rambler ...then decided to get a 1958 Edsel...I think the boys in my automotive class were scared of me ...hahaha it was great!

 

1963 pontiac tempest with a cut quaker state can and 2 hose clamps to patch an exhaust leak which gave it that wicked log truck sound. The year was 1981.

 

Graduated in 1994 and drove a 1959 Chevy Bel-Air 4 door sedan mild custom/lowrider.

 

Heres my High School Car. A 1966 Dodge Charger 4-speed 383.

 

Got my drivers license a week before I was 12 in Texas but in High School I drove a 50 Merc. coupe.

 

Drove my Mom's 73' Grand Prix SJ which had a 455 motor and honeycomb wheels. I use to smoke those mid-to-late 70's Trans-Am's with that car, and only sold it after
I got married and it was costing too much for our budget at the time. I sure wish I
had that car again!

 

1959 Thunderbird

 

I had a girl in my shop class (I was the teacher) a couple of years ago that drove a Cadillac hearse, black primer with red wheels and all the skull stuff you can think of. She really was a little bit scary. I would have loved to have you in my class to show some these import wankers what's up. haha

 

Wasn't in high school but I graduated college in 2010 and I used to drive my 23 T-roadster as often as I could.............. the other kids didn't get it

 

Worked as fast as I could to get it running, but didn't get it fired up until after I graduated. Here's a video still from that day:

My dad let me drive is '65 chevy pickup, which I put into the back of jag. lesson: highschool kids shouldn't be trusted with cool cars.

 

Not the original picture, I had to borrow this from the internet. 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1. I had a lot of fun with that car. Six months after graduation, I put it dead center into a telephone pole. RIP!

 

1956 Ford Customline bought senior year in high school 1978.

I drove it through four years of college (in NY), two summers working at Oldsmobile (Lansing,MI), AND for a full year after college graduation.

YES !! I still have it today - currently stripped down to body on frame for eventual reconstruciton.

 

Class of 1987. My brother totalled my 54 Chevy pickup so I bought a 54 Ford Mainline tudor.

Still have it.

See the build thread below.

 

Not mine (I wish!) but in senior-year,
circa-1973, a high-school buddy had a
'69 375hp/396 Nova SS with 4.11 gears,
Hooker headers and Casler cheater slicks
that he drove to school everyday. Another
guy at my school - not one of my buddies
though - had a bright yellow '60 Frontenac
(a rare, 'one-year-only' Canadian Mercury
version of the Ford Falcon) sedan-delivery
with an Econoline van straight axle and a
built 327 Chevy small-block.

=======================

 

Almost failed my Junior year trying to finish this thing. Father/Son project. Lot of fun.

 

I graduated in 2007. My 1st job was dedicated to saving for a 1969 cadillac superior sovereign hearse. Not on the popular list, but it weighed more and had the most power of anything else in the parking lot. Ate a '85 camaro 305 for breakfast. Still own it today with 8.2+ liters and no regrets.

 

Class of 1997. I drove a 1986 Olds Cutlass Supreme that really was owned by a little old lady. It was definently an old man's car when I got it, but some chrome wheels and air shocks fixed that. Sold it to a friend of mine after graduation and he ran it into a telephone pole. Had a lot of fun in that car and it was a wonder I didn't kill myself, especially after the time I did 100+ in dense fog coming back from the strip club.

 

class of 2000, had a 1979 mecury cougar XR-7 with a 302. I had open headers and a weiand intake on it with a holley 650 double pumper. I thought I was sooo cool! LOL

 

Class of '01. I drove a few cars in high school. I still have the most important 3.
1968 Nova SS
1965 Chevrolet Napco 4x4
and most importantly, my first car: 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 327 power pack with a slip and slide.

Yes, I always had the coolest cars in the parking lot.

 

'60 Dodge. Graduated in '65.

 

Kustomkid built and drove this in High School... in the late 80's

 

Senior year, I had a '47 Chevy. Chopped, dropped, with a blown 350. Also a '77 Olds Delta 88, was the Indie. pace car model, and a '64 Mack dumper (work truck).

 

'63 ford pickup, '68 malibu, '64 impala. not all at the same time but during my high school years.
