Bad as Buddy Holly
nope it was magnesium
I knew magnesium burned but not explode
I can believe that. The only time I sat in back was when my brother still owned it and I was a young and shorter lad back then.

Was just the first of many bad decisions when it comes to cars. The motor from the Mustang ended up in my v-8 Ranger that I had for a while, trans did to. Was a great running 302....just got swamped a few to many times. That truck was another one I regret getting rid of. I put it together with parts from Total Performance out of Michigan. I was one of the first guys to use his v-8 Ranger stuff. That truck took a pounding off road. Ran it against my old 340 Dart a few times at Island Dragway. Sad to say it out ran the Dart. Truck ran 13.0. No OD and gears tore up several motors. Was beyond fun off road. Was one of those vehicles that dents meant nothing to. Had to clearance the fenders/quarters so fired up the sawzall and had at it.

First car I baught, fixed and drove to work, unfortunately no actual pics:
Stolen 3 times during the time I owned it, about 2 years. Served me well after I fixed it up. One fun memory, While accidentally taking a left from the middle lane of a one way street, doing about 25, a Jetta blindsided me and t-boned me pretty good, smacked my door pillar in. I had to ride dukes of hazzard style for the rest of the time I owned it, another year or so...
Good times.

69 Dodge Dart Custom w/ slant, bought in 1977, stolen in 1994.
They are a aluminum/magneseium alloy that loves to cause horrific machining accidents..
My first car was my 1965 Dodge Dart Gt back in August of 2007 that I traded for my 66 Dart Wagon which I sold to buy a fox body mustang about a month ago.

Mine was a Monaco Orange 69 Corvette 350 horse, 4-speed with black interior. Smashed it into the back of a station wagon in 1985 a month before my 20th birthday.
I bought my first car back in '75, and it looked EXACTLY like the one in this pic....right down to the B5 color, black vinyl roof, wheels, and stripes. It had a 440 4-speed and a Dana rear end. I bought it from the original owner in Anita, IA for $500.
I delivered a LOT of Des Moines Sunday Register newspapers with that car. The people on the paper route never had to wonder if there was a paper in their mailbox on Sunday mornings......because there was no doubt about what car was pulling up to their mailbox at 3 in the morning...

'74 AMC Gremlin. 258 straight six, auto on the column, orange with black interior. It was a hand me down from my mom who bought it new. Unfortunately, it succumbed to cancer as Indiana's salted winter roads took it's toll on it.
First car I bought myself was a '70 Road Runner. 383 w/auto on the column, 3.55 SG 8.75 rear, Magnum 500 rims, Vitamin C orange with factory black hood stripes and a tan interior. Bought it for $350. I really miss that car.

1966 Beetle with a tan brush painted paint job!!!! LOL!
Yes, the blocks were magnesium - amazed many people at parties by disguising the magnesium in a pile of pallets and then pouring some beer on it to make it jump around! It was great - you could see people 50 yards from the fire in the woods when natured called because it acted like a black light on white t-shirts!!!!!

Technically my first "car" was this 1996 Dodge Dakota Sport. was an incredible deal so my parents bought it right after i turned 15 (not even a driving permit yet!) bought it from the Original Owner with 82k miles. absolutly nothing wrong with it. perfect runner. well i got my license the following year (january) and drove it to school and work every day. Halloween morning that year was right after the 1st rain and the roads were slick. spun it into a tree on my way to school ops:
luckily i wasnt hurt and the only damage was to the driver door.
replaced the door and drove it till the following August when i sold it for my real 1St CAR: My 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger here =) got it for a MAJOR steal but it needs....well everything frankly. drove the dart from Oct 09-sept 2011. started acting funny and now its parked
February of this year i pick up this lil 95 Mazda Miata.
I really miss cruisin in the dart but im never sellin it (i still regret sellin the truck, and the dart is WAY cooler). Ive got monumental plans for it and when its done this is what its gonna look like. quite the transformation eh?
sorry mine ran long but each car tell about the next! and i cant help myself!
