High School Rides

I have a pic of my first 65 but I cant find it, picture NSF's '65 340 (http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hpho...080454495_36766739494_8870076_924708327_n.jpg) but with a more uniform primer flat black paint job, 3 inch shackles out back, 10 inch chrome reverse dish rims on the back and Duster hubcaps on the front, and no lakepipes..yeah, that was my car! Before that there were those 3 Honda 600's and that Schwinn ten speed. NEVER got a ride to school, and it was a 3 mile bike ride...one way.
 
Blue 74 Cuda with a 318, sorry tried to post a pic I was unsuccessful.
 
My first car was such a POS that I never bothered to take any pics of it! Seriously!! '74 Rustang, 4 banger, 4 speed, whole lotta rust........Hated that car!!
 
I drove an '84 Dodge D50 and a '74 Duster.

Don't have any pics of the D50 or the Duster from that time, they were lost in various computer failures over the years.

But here's what they both look like now.

Back then the D50 was powered by a 2.6L 4-Banger and sat on a set of 30" Mud & Snow Tires with a small Suspension Lift. It's now powered by a 273 and has 40" Tires stuffed under it.

And the '74 had (still does) a 340 / 727 combo in it, the first year I drove it, it was in Primer with mismatched wheels. I had some LBP Rallyes up front and some cheap stock LBP Steelies out back with a 2.45 ratio 8-1/4" Rear. About a month after I started driving it, I swapped the 8-1/4 for an A-Body 8-3/4" with a 489 4.10 Sure Grip Chunk and some crappy steel wheels in the SBP pattern

Drove it like that till that winter, and over the winter I swapped in a B-Body 8-3/4" with a 489 3.23 Sure Grip Chunk and bolted on a complete matching set of Keystone Klassic Wheels. It's stayed that way since then (with various chunk/gear ratio changes, but I always seem to go back to the 3.23 Sure Grip)

Way too many engine modifications to list, every winter the engine comes out and I do something to it (heads/intake/cam/etc)

This winter it gets the 4-Speed reinstalled, and next fall I'll finally put the 6-71 blower on it :glasses7:

EDIT : Actually, a few of the pictures did survive. Damn it was fugly when I first started driving it :D

Hey and I can see my old '87 D50 Plow Truck in the background of the one picture. Poor old truck got beat on hard, and ate many 5-Speed Transmissions over the years. As a matter a fact, in that last picture it was being unloaded from the rollback (after it blew apart the 4th or 5th transmission)
