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

class of 77 64 gto convt tri power 4speed

 

I had a 69 Camaro and a 68 Dart GTS. Those were the coolest ones at the time!

 

This was my senior picture in 2006. Its a 1955 Desoto and I bought it when I was 15 and I'm never going to sell it. It also got voted coolest car in the parking lot with a pic in the year book.

 

I drove a 64 Savoy, X-Indiana State Police car.

 

Class of '66. 1951 Studebaker Commander Starlight coupe. 239 V8 auto.
Let that one get away...damn......

 

class of '98. I had no car my senior year after I threw a rod in a '78 Malibu (307?) my junior year. It's all kind of funny now.

 

Class of 84 drove a chopped, louvered and shortened 52 Ford F-1 pick-up with a BBF that ran 13 flat in the quarter.

 

A 1957 Triumph TR-3. Loved it.

 

Class of 96. Don't have a pic of it, but it was a baby blue 1976 Ford Gran Torino 4dr HT with dark blue vinyl roof. Not a "cool" car, but cool to me. Ran it into the ground for 5 years and sold it to a guy that just wanted the engine. Got all but $50 of what I paid for it back.


P.S. Do you know how hard it is to find a pic of one of these things that hasn't been Starsky and Hutched?

 

I graduated in '82, had a gold Chevy II coupe with a 6 cylinder / powerglide combo. All the cool 'rich' kids had Trans ams & Z/28's.

 

'72 Olds Cutlass. It was rusty but it rocked.

 

1962 Buick Le sabre 2 door hardtop. 401 nail-head with a 2 speed power-glide. The only guy that could outrun it was a kid that bought a 1969 Chevelle with a 402, his cost $4,000 back then, mine cost $400!

I miss that car.

 

Class of 1990 drove a 1969 Camaro Convertable. Bought the car at 14 and worked on it for 3 years before I could drive it. 69 conv. 327 factory air painted it bright yellow with a black top minimal chrome corvette ralley wheels. Before that I had a 68 Dodge SWB fleetside pickup painted chrome orange lowered with spun al. moons

 

Class of 72
63 Ford Galaxy 500 xl Convertible black with a red interior and white top with a 406 tri power and 4 speed and a reverb lol

 

65 Pontiac and a 63 belair

 

Class of 66 - '56 Fords Ranch wagon (2 door) with 312 and a three speed O/D with 4.11's. Kelly Springfield Dual 90 8.20x15 out back and 6.70x15 Goodyears up front. Ran hard and plenty of room in the back

 

Man! I wish I had had a senior year in high school. I got kicked out when I was a junior JD. But.....I drove a 55 Chevy Bel Air 2dr sedan up until I got kicked out. 235 6 cyl with a 3 speed and 4.11 rear gears. I never lost a race in that car and I ran a lot of early 60's Impalas with small blocks plus every other 6 cylinder in town. Great memories. BTW, it would have been the class of 67. Ancient history.

 

1967.

Winter Beeeeter


Summer Ride

 

Class of 63! Drove a 53 chevy 2dr hdtp. split manifold, dual carbs, 3 on the floor, Dixon column tach, torch lowered, 4 bar flippers. I thought it was cool?

 

'69 Super Bee. Built 440 automatic, 3.23 Sure-Grip 8 3/4". Red, black bench seat, column shifter, and black steel wheels with no hubcaps. People always laughed at the column shifter until they rode in it.

 

Class of '82, I had my 1969 MGB-GT. Maybe O/T but I thought is was cool and I still have it.

 

Here's the only picture of my 67 Camaro I have(kinda crappy pic).Class of 82.

 

Had 2. 1970 Hemi Roadrunner and 1970 Olds W-30. God I wish that I had them back!!!!!!!!!!

 

See my avatar. That was my high school parking lot. 2005.

1934 Plymouth rumble seat high-boy. Black Primer. .030 over 396 / Turbo 350. Started working on it when I turned 13. Brought it home in two pickup trucks. Got it legal at 16. No turning back. Its now got pinstripe flames.

I drove it everytime the weather would allow. Everybody liked it, but nobody but my g.f. (now wife) would ride in it. They said I was crazy, no seat belts, too loud, no windows etc...

Driver's Ed teach, had a cow when I pulled it in the first time. I thought he would gripe, but he started one of those "I used to have a '34 Ford" stories. (Which I love to listen to)

Good times!

 

1964 Falcon.
Here it is when I pulled it from the weeds a few years ago (after sitting there for 18 years after h.s..).Doing a resto.now but I keep running out of time and money (mostly money)

 

I just remembered that I also had and drove a very cool 54 210 2 dr sedan. It was black (shiny black and straight) with a 364 nailhead Buick engine, 57 Corvette 3 speed, and 57 Chev rear axle. It had red and black salt/pepper style carpet on the door panels and floor and red and black seat covers. Sounds kinda funky, but it actually looked pretty good. Got the girls OK. That is what would have been my senior year, if I had one. Now I just have senior moments. Like when I forgot I had this car. It's hell getting old. db

 

a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2 door hardtop....and a Vega woodgrain wagon, that I got in s good trade deal...

I traded a 1969 Charger R/T 440 automatic EVEN for the Vega......i know, i know...hide sight ect....

 

64 chevy II wagon...it was lettered up on the tailgate when i got it..........nice & easy class of 89

 

i had my grandfather's pickup. this is what she looked like senior year.

 

1970 Plymouth Road Runner. Orange with the black and silver bench seat interior. 383 with a pistol grip 4 speed! Crager SS mags with L-60 x 14 Remington XT 120 rear tires! Those were the days..........
