Im not sure you missed anything , my fisrt car was a 70 340 4 speed Cuda conv, at the time i thought i was the the king of the road . Growing up in NJ we had icy,cold,snowy winters and 90 deg summers . I still wonder how i drove that car in that weather . I today still own my beloved Cuda complete with a 528 stroker Hemi but can only take it in small doses . At 55 yrs old im an imbetweener , Mopars were cheap when i started driving and my and was able to buy my Cuda for $ 290.00 in 1977 . I have had endless memorys with this car and the 80s ( LOL all good ) .
Born in '67,graduated '85.. Muscle cars were still relatively affordable, gas was cheap compared to now. Pro Street was the rage then,got back to basic hot rodding & fast cars.Times were more fun with cars,in the '90's : Underground street racing made a big come back( in my area),I wouldn't trade what I learned,friend's I met,or the good & bad times.If I had to pick a certain time,to enjoy life & cars: 1955 to 1963,pre JFK assassination era. Every era has good music,that just depends on personal tastes.

To be honest the cars I could care less about. There are too many dreamer stories about all the iron on the highway and what a great time that was. Most people today don't have to work on the daily commuters other than maintenance....
The music is what I think would be worthy of a trip back in time. I am 46 and missed some great music for sure....

Born in 55 and a dad that was a mopar fanatic. I would not change a thing of my past.
I drove cars people will never get a chance to sit in. 1970 440-6 cudas x 2, 71 Hemi RR airgrabber ,wing and stripe car. to many cars to list and even still to this day I remember cars I forgot about.
When we think back going over old times with buddies.
A freind bought and stripped every Hemi car he could in the mid 70's and sill has all the parts. He comes here once a week and we sit in th shop on office chairs just to go back in time.
Sometimes I can feel the cars in the chair . that is how envolved it gets. Those for sure were tha days. When traction was done with your foot and gear selection.
My Duster is all I have left that is exciting to drive and may have a buyer for that.

Yup cruising town chasing girls and racing cars right on the main drag. Getting caught with beer and having the cops take it away and telling you to drive straight home to sleep it off. Crazy days for sure.
born in '48, graduated h s in '66 so that dates me. my view is life in general was better. if no draft, war, it would have been great. 99 % of cares on the road were just that... cars. so called muscle cars were NOT the norm, at least is rural s w Ga! but they were scattered around. some "hotrods" too but most kids and young people didn't have the $$ to buy new musclecars or the desire to build a hotrod.
I miss the time of the 60's, 70's weren't wonderful but much better than this day and age IMO. drag racing tracks built, heads up racing, Nascar? yes they ran stock cars... sorta. music...... yep that was music.
I had a pair of twin cousins. their dad drove his motorcycle from Ga to Indy on time, this was back in the 30's !!!!!! they didn't have tv when they graduated h s in '62! just am a m radio. but it picked up Wolfman Jack!
the 60's, early 70's. you could turn in the t v for the evening news everyday, and see some poor soul get shot right there. you had the draft to look forward to, or just join the Navy or Air Force, ( Marines for 3), for a 4 years deal.
1968-9 a new 383 roadrunner costs bout $ 2800, A new loaded 1/2 pickup for $3000! my father in law had taught school all his life, was making $12000 a yr. minimum wage was bout $ 1.25.... BUT wages to costs of goods was probably more in line then than now for most things.
life was simplier, traffic less, little technology, schools still offered prayer, the principal still had this BIG paddle and was not afraid to swing it... hard!
kids were taught (in most areas) to respect their elders, parents, police, say yes mame/yes sir..... and if you needed a correction, you NEW you would get corrected. Dr. Spock was still in college?

Wow that was pretty good. You had me in a daze. I think I went back in time ther for a moment.
My most fun cars were two 69 corronet 4sd cars. Blue one wrecked it. Bought a Light tan. drove it for a long time that was about 2 yrs for me. Those were some pretty powerful cars for the tires they were riding on. What a blast. Had 65 and 66 GTO's at the same time.
I was buying cars with my dad for sale and parts.

The cool thing about growing up in East Tennessee was it was always 20 years behind the trendy parts of the country. Take in mind we are still talking the early 1990's here... But we had a lot of Novas, 70-73 Camaro's, 1 70 GTX, a few Fast Back MudStains and of course my 340 Swinger in primer at the time. We would meet at the water tower and hang out. When we would go cruise (do people do that anymore?) there were always cool muscle cars. I remember one night we made some money. That was pretty cool. Some dork that had a brand stinking new 1992 Z28 put up a few hun' to run against me in the Dart on Rifle Range Road. At that time and for a long time, Rifle Range Road near Halls had a white stripe across the start and finish. The cops let it be. I ran him a few times until finally he handed over the money. There was no question my lil 340 Dart was the fastest car in my school. And for the most part the area. At the time I was running 11.90's-12.20's. I'm not pretending that I lived in that era, but I certainly caught a taste of it living where I did.

I'd say that's about right without being a Debbie downer and dwelling on death. I think that a lot. If I had a choice, that might be it! Those 50's and those peaceful and prosperous times of that growing post WWII leave it to beaver era.

A new 64 Falcon Futura, 260, 4 spd, bench seat, -- Traded it for a 65 Plymouth Belvedere II, 426 Street Wedge, 4 spd, bench seat, - Traded it for a 66 Nova SS, L79-350 HP-327, 4 spd, Bucket seats. Then calmed down for a few years, then back into various Muscle Cars, mainly Mopars - a few Corvettes. - Yes is was Great to be at the age to enjoy those cars, in the 60s & 70s, -- But -- Not so Great today, at 72. --

How many is too many?
Got out of HS in 77. First car was a 55 Olds, then a 66 Fury wagon with a poly that I put a 4 barrel on, a 68 Satellite 4dr 318, 69 Pontiac Custom S and my favorite 70 GTX which I later pulled the engine from and sold with a 383. Took that engine rebuilt it and put a six pack on it an put it in a 70 Polara 2dr and then a 69 Dart and drag raced it in the early 80s. Then I found a 70 Cuda and moved the 440 over to it. I also came up with a 71 Demon in the 80s and had almost every engine up to a 440 in it. At one time I had the 70 Cuda, 70 Challenger SE, 70 Charger R/T, 71 Demon big block and the 110" FED. Then I put a turbocharged 400 in a 71 Polara 4dr....

No matter when you were born it is easy to look back and say things were better then. I was born in 64 which was a little too late to really enjoy the late sixties. The first car I ever drove was a buddy's 69 Charger. I was hooked. My first car was a 72 Challenger. Also had a 67 Dart GT, a 65 Signet rag top and a 73 Cuda. I got the Cuda with no motor and put a 440 in it. They are all gone now but I still have my 61 panhead I bought just out of high school. Saw a lot of the great rock bands perform. Had great times at the local street races and at drag strip. I miss the old days but life is still good today.

-- Went to a Cruise-In, last night. -- There was a Fury Wagon there - like new.
back in time machine:: like mopar92 just said, some parts of the country were generally "behind" most areas of the u s, s w Ga included! Dawson, Ga. Terrell Co. H S class of '66. yep you guessed it, there were even 66 kids in that class. parking lot as a senior, '65-66: one kid worked after school in Co. newspaper, he bought a new '66 Chevelle, 396 4 speed, not sure what the hp was would chirp the tires in all 4 gears. another kid bought a new '66 Galaxie XL, 390. girl that graduated year before, a neighbor, dad bought her a new fairlane, she just got it home, and let my "gubber head" friend take it down the road, he toped a small hill on a Dirt road, promptly rolled it. GONE! new and totaled the same day! I had a 64 ford custom 2 door post, 283 3 on tree, it was S L O W wwwwwww!
most kids back then drove whatever was handed down to them. very few new cars for them. a kid that was a junior, his dad was a big farmer, my dad worked for him. the kid got a new '65 GTO 3 deuce 4 speed. wow! I wanted that SOooo bad! we were so poor my mother took me to the dry goods store every Aug for my " school clothes" bought on credit; ( no there wasn't credit cards! ) . it took her the next 12 months to pay for them! really. I had job at grocery 12 hrs Sat and most afternoon after school. parents let me keep that for gas and tires and points/condenser/ plugs..... and horse feed money. I loved the horse stuff!
the 60's? besides the Viet Nam thing, there was the terrible racial unrest in the deep South. Terrell Co. Ga, very rural, very much "traditional deep South". 79% of the country's population was black. mid 60's neighbor kid had a little Honha 50. mom told me to stay off that thing or else. we rode that thing all over the country one summer, 64 or5..... our "game" was to find cars with "Northern" plates and play chase with them. Churches bombed, burned, people killed,riots, marches, people died, threatened, people went to prison over it,..... schools were segregated, our h s was built in the 30's no air, steam heat when it worked, the black guys had a new modern school, with air!
coolest car of them all to me was a kid that had a 55 chevy, hotrod, 327, 4 speed Hurst shifter sticking out of the floor, 1965,it was, fiberglass front end, red, black rolled and p leated interior, boy was that sweet!!!!!!!! run pretty good. but just so darn cool!!!!!
I graduate h s '66. mom tells me i'm headed off that summer to a jr. college 60 mi. away. suitcase college, everyone went home every weekend except a few kids from N. Ga. that was too far for such. summer of 66, some cool cars there. some plenty fast. some had a death wish.
my dad had gone thru 20 years in Marine aviation, 4 years in WW11 and 1 in Korea. he got out in '55 and we all moved back home to Dawson. it took a terrible toll on him., mentally. no one had ever heard of PTSD or whatever its called. he would never be able to set foot on another plane........ he told me "if ya get drafted ya gotta go." ... yes I knew that for sure. . " BUT if ya join, I will KICK you *** like it has never been kicked before". I myself had no desire to shoot Gooks, I wanted to raise cattle, train horses, have a FAST car! but the draft loomed. the lady that ran the draft board told me, you should have a "student deferment" but will keep you 1A, so when
ya get behind we can call you up and not waste time changing your classification. yep I stayed a little behind, and 1A the whole 4 years. then in '70 they have the lottery, it took till sept to figure they would not get to my number!
degree in Ag for whatever it is worth. main reason I stayed in college was that I really figured I would get drafted and killed in Nam BUT my parents would be so proud that I graduated!!!!! really.
I had summer job with usda., during this college stuff. they had a 55 gal drum of Ethyl Alcohol. or was it Methyl???? ( the one that gets ya drunk, the other kills ya). end of summer boss would let us get a gal of the stuff to take e back to school! summer job paid for stuff, but I only had extra money once in 4 years to buy a McDonald burger> really..... I drove home every 3 weeks, mom sent back enough food for me for 3 weeks, kid and I had rented an old moble home on edge of town. $45 a month!!!! gas was $.29 a gal.
I started dating a girl in Valdosta in spring of '66. ( ok one date till school was out)) 300 mi south. to get there I found some other kids that wanted to go. 2 of them, that's all that would fit in the cab of my pickup I had. Valdosta had a college there, the other kids paid gas, a date consisted of a "free date" I could not rub 2 nickles together.
being a kid back in the 60's, some of the best and worse times in my life. 95% best times. hunting, fishing, running loose, no commitment, no demands, ......not really a care or thought in my head generally. ah..... youth!!!!!!!
we left that sun late, headed up I 75, running 95 o=in this pickup whne the co sherriff stops us. let us go! got back to Athens on vapors 3 in the morning. no gas stations were open and we were all broke anyway.

Graduated in "68" . Had already signed up for the Navy. Back then cars were cars . you didn't know that the Dart 340 or Charger or Mustang or Chevelle was going to be an icon .
Big muscle was rarely seen except for the rich kids . Typically muscle was reworked big blocks 413's , 383 B or now and then a 440 , most in heavy cars like old Darts , Furies , Polaras. I new one kid that had a 68 RR 383 my Senior year , had his *** handed to Him by a
62 Dart 413. Always was a Mopar guy , fallowed Dick Landy racing especially when he picked up His Hemi Darts in 68. If I new back then what this would be like now , I would have started filling warehouses . I grew up in rural USA we weren't always the first to have the good stuff . After market was not available .

When I was in high school, I found a ton of muscle mopars, but I didn't have two dimes to rub together to do anything about it. Now looking back, boy were those cars cheap! I found B-bodies, E-bodies, pretty decent cars between 1800-2500. But what could I do, I was making payments on a 500.00 '72 duster 318, while I watched my brother sell a '68 GTX for 1200.00.
My Duster (1st car, I added the scoops and dish mags) and my brother GTX he was selling.

I would have liked to be 18 in the late 50's when the Forward Look big fin Mopars came out. Can you imagine buying a 57-59 dodge custom Royal d-500,or a 57-58 fury? How about a 1960 Chrysler 300f? The culture and music back then were great,and even though time would progress at least there would still be real cars made until the early 70's when it all went downhill quickly.

I used to think that I was born too late too. But not any more. Born in 67 I grew up in the 70's. still had cool Sat morning cartoons, bikes like Schwinn Stingrays etc. , no real tech so we'd be outside all the time etc.
By the time I started driving in the mid 80's, most of my friends had either old muscle cars which were getting pretty rusty or newer "muscle" Monte SS's, IROCS or late 70's F Bodies. Lots of street racing, cruising or hanging out in parking lots BS'ing about cars and girls. No cell phones so we'd use CB radios to find out where everyone was hanging out.
Now I'm old enough to remember those times as well as things like being able to quit one job and have options for 2 or 3 more by the end of the day, full time, with health care that didn't have a deductible and was funded soley by the employer. I'm also old enough to have, restore and enjoy the rust buckets of my youth that I didn't have the skills or money to fix back then. And with ME TV I can watch all the cool old programming I was too young to enjoy at the time.
As cool and enjoyable as it is to watch Adam 12 or Two Lane Blacktop, seeing the "old cars" and technology etc and wish I had a time machine, the reality is I really don't relish the thought of getting my A$$ sent to some jungle to shoot at or get shot by someone I've never met. But take that out of the equation and, well......
yeah it'd be pretty cool. Maybe if I could just go back at my current age . . . . .

After the horrid carb/ emissions controls of the seventies and eighties (before EFI) You now see engines getting much better mileage and driveability, and back then you NEVER saw many engines run 100K without major work, valve job at the least. You certainly didn't see 200K engines like you do now.
