They were a powerhouse when they were new but almost everything was back then. I learned to drive fast in a Buick with a 442 and it was the family car. 105 in 1/4 mile.

69 SS 396 4 speed, I bought it when i was 18 .me and a buddy swapped it back and forth a few times, then he kept it till he decided he wasnt going to restore it, and let me have it back. i didnt need it but i hated to let it go, seldom do you get the chance.

they were fast back then for sure, but one head off a big block weighs about as much as the complete eng today they can squeeze alot of horse's now out of less

I've got a 66 ford pickup I bought in 76 for $500. I drove it until 86 and parked it, thinking I might restore it some day. I worked for 2 months to come up with the 5 hundred to buy it and have worked for the last 35, trying to get the time and money to restore it. In another 30 or so in will probably be a "barn find" for somebody.

Probably a lot of us old timers remember some of the clasic cars we used to own.Or cars our dad owned.I for one had several older cars but most would have been hard to restore after I finished with them.
Here is just a few off the top of my head,
67 R/S Camaro
72 GTO Judge
56 Ford Fairlane rag top.
48 Ford Deluxe Coupe
56 Olds Super 88
59 pontiac Bonneville
56 Buick Special
Like to have either one back now in the shape they were when I got them.
In over 50 yrs of owning a car can't remember all of them.But there was a bunch. :lol:

I think Pontiac made a truck also.

Wish I had my first car back. It was a 68 chevelle ( not a SS but still liked that body style )

You cant even find a 68 around now. Also had a 66 impala SS but it was mostly in a box and I never really tried to put it together.

I've still got my first car, a 67 Goat, crammed in my basement. 400, 4bbl, 4spd. Blue exterior with black interior, all the #'s even match.

Talked myself into selling it a couple times, but always come to my senses first.

When did Mercury build a pickup? I don't think they did.

 

[ALACOWMAN]
