First Car Feaver

My first car was a dark green 68 Sport Satellite - 318, auto, console w/ 2 tone green bucket seat interior, AC, cruise control, lighting package & Cragar SS wheels. I decided that the 318 just wasn't cuttin' it, and told my dad & brother I wanted to drop a 440 in. They happened to find a 70 340 in a junk yard from a radical looking Swinger, that was missing the intake. The guy at the yard convinced me that this was a hot little motor, & the engine swap would be a whole lot easier, so I bought it. I bolted on an Eddy Torker manifold and a factory AVS carb & dropped it in. Next came some headers with cherry bombs... & a tidal wave of moving violations.

My next ride was a '71 Roadrunner. 383, 4 speed pistol grip, bench seat, with the air grabber hood. That's a car I wish I still had. Oh well, maybe I'll find another one.

I was always a Mopar fanatic as my brother bought a GTX new in '67, and as a kid, I wanted one of those HEMI Cuda's (still do).

Ahhh... memory lane is alway better with huge tire marks on it! :lol:
