View Full Version : Past rides
Does anyone have a certain car they sold years ago that they wish they had kept? This is mine, a 1970 Olds Cutlass. It was a 350 2-barrel with dual exhaust. I paid $600 for the car. I put on a set of Welds(they were state of the art back then :) ) and some Pro-Trac 60's and it looked mean, hehe. I was 17 and had me a hotrod. 8) It was a turd tho.........took it to Cecil and turned some hi 16's with it, but it looked good :D . I drove the car for a year or so until I needed a truck for work. I sold the car to a friend of mine for $1,500. He was an idiot and wrecked the car about 2 weeks after I sold it to him.

I've got two:
The first was my 74 stingray. I learned to drive and to drive stick on that car. It was silver with t-tops, muncie m-22 4 speed, L-82 350. So many fond memories of that car, like leaving long ass patches in front of John White's house in salem woods (remember those mike? 8) ) It was going to be my graduation present from my dad, until it threw a rod while my dad was driving it home from work. it sat for a year when the frame started rotting out. i ended up selling it to chesapeke auto sales (remember the muscle car guys on rt. 40 in north east?) for $1,500.
The other was my 93 Mustang GT. Mostly stock, not particularly quick, but damn pretty. It was currant red with black ground effects and welds. traded it in on my 95. i like my 95 10 times more, but there is just something about those foxes. the tool that bought it has destroyed it. he sold the welds and put turbines on it. he took the passenger seat out to get the amp adjusted at a local audio place, when he got back, someone had stolen the seat. he tore the ram air scoop off on a parking block, the exhaust sounds terrible, he never washes or waxes it, he's wrecked it twice, the last i heard is that his old man took it from him before he killed himself. i just saw the car going up elkton road the other day........ :cry:

You are free to laugh at the attire worn by all in that photo...just remember though....I'm in that photo and all those girls were single at the time :twisted:
It certainly wasn't a fast car, but it was fun to wedge 5-6 girls into and cruise around in with the top down and the twin 12 inch subs I installed in the trunk cranked all the way up :lol:
130k miles.....needed a motor rebuild, a tranny rebuild, a new top, and new tires for the metric rims it had been repainted when I bought in with 75k miles on it so it still looked awesome. I was still living at home and my mom didn't want me working on cars on her driveway anymore....so I ended up trading it on a new body style monte carlo in 1995...got a whopping $700 for it.
This photo was taken a few months before I traded it in
