Nice. Manual steering? Mine had a C4 auto (only auto car I ever owned), 2 barrel Holly carb, Power steering, AC. Car was an import from Cali and it still had factory smog equipment on it. It did NOT have the turn signal hood unfortunately, and i wish it was a 4spd.
I never had a classic car like most of you, considering I'm only 24… The first car that I owned (not a parent hand-me-down) was a 2001 Civic. I christened her The Lady Liberty.
My parental handdown was an 82 Celica Supra. Nice ride, all things considered. The first car bought with my own money was a shiny new 92 Saturn SL2. I loved that car. Never had a hint of problems with it. Had to trade it in on a minivan when the twins were on the way.
Actually, I fell in lust with the new body style for civics so I traded it in for an 07... Maybe when I have a kid and give it to him it could be a classic. No classic for me...
Korp, I'm only a couple years more ancient, and I've owned a '73 Dodge, a '53 Studebaker, and a '69 Dodge as far as real old cars go. Got an '82 Datsun that's a classic now, according to the state (I can get perm tags for her).
I almost bought a '66 Plymouth Fury, though I decided at the last second I couldn't afford fuel. It had a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant.
