First Car Stories

My first car was a 1970 torino super cobra jet. It was an original 429 4 speed car. The day I got my license it rained and my mom wouldn't let me drive it to school, so I took her car and she pulled out in front of a semi truck and it was no more. I sold the 429 to a ford guru in the neighborhood and got a 1970 ranchero to boot. Long story short I wound up with the ranchero, running a warmed up 250 I6 mustang motor, with a top loader 4 speed, and a 9" with 4.10 gears. It would give any of the then super popular 5.0 mustangs the rich kids had a run for their money, It claimed many IROC camaro's and multiple Chevy trucks as well as a few V-8 S10's.
