First car,

1974 <--Same yr I was born
Olds Cutlass with a Rocket 350,350 Turbo trans

We used to call it doo doo brown,I had it when I was 17,Been through alot fo shit with this trusty $175. car.

When I got it it had a hole on the driver floorboard you could see the road while you drive it,I resheet metal the floor board and recarpeted.

I have been thinking so much lately of getting one,just for memories,and redoing my old lowrider look,taht bitch was so low,I used to kock relectors off the road,shoot sparks cruising on the interstate..dam

It was a 454. In 1972 the engine options on the impalla were 350, 400 SBC 2bbl, and 402 or 454 BBC with 4BBl. I got it from a salesman at Modern Chevrolet in Winston-Salem NC for $300. I notice you are talking about cars you have never owned, so my remarks still stands.

The car was not a 70 it was a 72. You listed your Olds as a 350 Rocket not a 455 so thats what I was going by.

Oops I seem to have made a mistake. You are correct I did misspeak in my first reply to this thread.

Back to topic...

1970 VW Karmann Ghia
Taught me tons about engines. Could pull the engine out of it in less than an hour. Too bad I was young and wasn't into cars as much, or I would have paid more attention and learned more about the work I was doing on it with my dad.
