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

In my senior year (1985) I had 2 cars. A primer black (before it was cool) '48 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe with flathead, and a baby blue 390 '64 Galaxie 2 door hardtop. Miss both of them.

 

One of my bucketlist cars.

 

How many can say they still have their high school car? Mines only 1984 vintage but I do. Hasn't rolled 100k yet but close.

59 El Camino with a 283 and a Powerglide. But when I should have been in my Senior year in HS I was in Texas in the Air Force instead.

 

The year was 1976 and I had a 1968 Buick G.S. 400 with a holley, hooker headers, Crager GTs, posi rear and turbo 400 trans. It ran high 14s in the qtr.

Only car cooler than mine was a kid with a 66 chevelle with period correct graphics all over it and pearl white paint.

 

1979 was my senior year, I worked at a local grocery, bagging and stocking groceries but it paid for my Junior/Senior year rides. I had (3), 1946 Ford 2dr sedan 302/C4, 1947 Chevy Sedan Delivery 283/2spd auto and a bad ass 1970 Cuda with a 440 6pack 4spd dana.

 

'64 Valiant Signet 2drht, black bucket seat interior, solid lifter 273/235, factory 4spd Hurst. Thought I was the shit. Man, that car was fun.

 

Members bitched about this thread when it began five years ago and it's still going strong!
I probably commented before. My cool car was the 1949 Dodge Coronet coupe I bought in 1956. I was in that class that had a dream, 1957.
Maroon with wide whites, venetion blinds in back window, shaved doors, hood, trunk and "Y" pipe lookin like fake duals.
Yea I was Kool! After all it had a six with fluid drive. 50 cents an hour after school bagging groceries paid for the car and insurance.

 

1960 was my senior year and my cool car was a '50 Ford with a '56 Chevy 265 motor. Motor had a Duntov cam, Corvette distributor and a two barrel carb(ran short of dough when it came to carburetion).

This was me in my senior year on high school 1961. If you check on hotrod--willys you will see this same car as it is today. 50 plus years later.

 

I drove a 32 Ford 5W coupe (1963)

 

Started my senior year (1967) with a 59 Ford Galaxy. Swapped titles with a friend for a 1936 Ford Pickup. Still have it today.

 

Graduated in '65. Owned a 1954 Buick Special (V8 with a 3 speed transmission). It was a pig, but it was my pig.

 

My 59' that was back in 1989. I miss that boat

I had a '29 Ford roadster pick up with a hot flat head V8. Still have it but my daily driver was a '53 Olds 88. Not cool at all in '67 but it would be now.

 

Class of 1979, dad bought me a 1970 4 speed SS454 Chevelle with blown 390hp 454. We put a junkyard 350 in it to get it where I could drive it . Worked construction all summer and bought a complete 396 out of a 70 SS that was abandoned on I 65. Loved that car and combo

62 Ford Unibody short box F-100. Also had a 74 Plymouth Duster that we put a 383 in and a 1929 Model A Special Coupe that I was restoring. Tornado took the shop in April of my senior year and the coupe was a total loss. Did a quick flip of a 54 Chevy over that winter. $75 car, $200 for a 283 with transmission and $300 in paint etc. Sold it for $1200 after working on it for 3 months in my spare time. Rod

 

Started senior year class of '79 with a '69 pale green Merc Monterey more-door that I shared with my brother, then for my 18th birthday/graduation I got a '63 Galaxie 500 2-door boxtop hardtop all to myself - black with red cloth/vinyl interior, 260/3-on-the-tree. I held on to the Galaxie until '91 and sold the clapped-out hulk; a '66 Skylark GS is still in my friend's garage and comes out once in a while.

 

Was a senior in 1963 and was driving a 53 Chevy. It was bone stock and I wanted to do so many things to it but needed to save money for college so never did anything but paint it and drive it.
