    And I thought they were kind of difficult to use, because if you weren't careful, the plate would spring up on you.

    MY uncle Bill, let me use his brand new 427 vet, maroon, with the black air scoop, black rag top, 3 deuces, 4 speed manual, tiger paws tires, for Prom! One heck of a car! Needless to say we were at the dance for about 30 minutes then out hitting all the drive through hot spots!!
    That Vet today would go for over 60,000! I believe he paid around 7,000 new. But remember a mustang went for around 2000.

    When I was seventeen I had been looking for a new car to buy for a while. One day at this old car wash I seen this nice looking older car sitting there with a for sale sign on it. I didn't even know what it was turned out it was a 1966 model thunderbird with a 428 needed paint but everything else on the car was perfect. The guy who owned it was about to lose his business and needed money offered to sell it to me for $1500. I bought it and took it to a buddy of mine who was taking auto body shop and he painted it the original waterfall blue. I loved that car.

    I had it about three months and my dad said I was going to kill myself in it and he took it and made me drive his truck. He got racing someone out one of our back roads and lost control hit a tree and totaled it. I do have to give the old man props he apologized and took me to the car lot and bought me a brand new 1989 model Camaro. Still missed the Thunderbird though.

    My brother-in-law gave me the keys to his brand-new Camaro SS with T-tops for prom. I thought it was damn nice of him.

    My dad probably would have just made me sell the car and get another one.

    I had an opportunity when I was in my late teens to buy a neighbor's 1968 Olds Cutlass 442 Hurst Edition. It had been tricked out with custom engine and suspension upgrades.


    Dad wouldn't let me get it.

    Your dad reminds me of the old saying: "Do as I say, not as I do"! ( It sounds like you had a great Dad, who didn't want you to make the same mistakes he made, and was making! (like when he hit the tree racing your thunderbird lol)

    I remember that GREAT Era of muscle Cars, as they called them! My Dad had a 1965 GTO, could have taken it to prom, but when my uncle offered that beautiful Brand New 1967 vet, loaded.... WELL ...you know the rest of the story! (

    That cutlass 442 hurst edition was one of the hot one, I remember well. I still see a few around here, but NOT VERY often.
