High School Rides

[cwatts]

Was going through some old pictures I managed to get out of my divorce settlement and found a picture of what I drove in Grade 12 in high school. 1971 Demon 340, did most of the work on it in auto shop class. This was in 1982. Thought it would be neat to see what some fellow members drove in high school.

High School ops: How about my ride when I should have been in school
I made it to the 4th grade and was working with the men 8) Yep I am ahead of my time :coffee2:

At 15 it was a 67,68 Monaco 383 two door Blue with a black vinyl top, Blue buckets and I parked it in Illinois in September that year and returned in February pored about a 1/4 cup of gas in it and the monster fired right up dove in town to see if my girl friend was still single, she was not 8)
so I landed another or 2

My mom had a Pontiac like that :cheers: That thing would scream and handle gravel roads like a champ, Mom did not know it though

 

[dustergal]

'66 Mustang coupe. Manual everything. I don't know how I survived driving it in the winter on snow and ice with drum brakes at age 16, but I did. LOL.

My husband still has his '72 Challenger from high school too.

check out that 80's hair. I graduated in 1990.

class of '85.... I ran a stock 360 2 bbl from a Fury in the red one. The ragtop (340) was just after high school..... talk about shoulda, coulda, woulda....

 

[cwatts]

It was orange interior, buckets , console, ps,pb,rallye dash with factory tach. Paid 900 bucks for it. wish I still had it.

 

[Dart Sport 360]

I got this car in the last year of high school... not planning on letting it go anytime soon.

I still remember picking up my last report card in the car. It was in early summer and I christened the parking lot with a couple big smokey burnout donuts...

Me and my Duster! Long gone, guy I sold it too crashed it about 1978.

 

[Sport 360]
