Born in '65 and found this car during JR year summer vacation:

'67 Pontiac Lemans, 2 barrel 326 CI, two speed tranny.... I go t it cheep because it had a cracked piston ring. That car sure had a unique sound, especialy when hitting about 50mph in first and frying the water pump bearing. Maybe I should not have used the cheapest $30 water pump.

I would hate to see what that car would pull in current dollars at the Barret Jackson Auto Auction....

I don't suppose that you still have the car?

 

[JCJRSmith]

Born in 1960
1973 Ford Maverick 2 door (Ford 302 V8 under the hood)
It was considered a reasonably cool car because it could get up and scoot
I now have a brand new Saturn Ion - traded in a Ford F150 Supercrew for it after I bought the motorhome

Nooooo. sold it so I could buy something that would tow a race trailer. Hi-performance go-karts. Man those were fun too....

I know what you mean. I sold mine when I went into the Navy (should have kept it)

BUT a few years later I bought my "dream" a 1972 Satallite Sebring Plus w/383CI engine!
(I put THOUSANDS of miles on it before I sold it when I went overseas!)
Cooolll!!!

2. Absolutely, completely not cool.
3. Right now: 2002 Honda Odyssey and 2007 Honda Civic Sedan. For a married father of 2, both are very cool.

Before '60 and nothing. No money.

First was a '63 Bug and then a used '68 GT 350 Shelby.

Now a '87 Corolla FX16 GT-S, 151,000 miles, 7300rpm red line and it pulls great, gets 36mpg

Born before 1960. I had a 1967 Chevy Bel Aire. It was definitely NOT cool. Here is a picture of a 1966 - basically the same - except mine was white. Very uncool.
