My dad had a used car lot from 1965-2002 and by the time I was 15 i had 15 different cars. And I loved hot rods. at 17 in 1980 I had a 1968 Firebird 428 4 B carb auto. It had a chrome breather top and valve covers AM/FM AC, power windows, air shocks, back seat would fold down for extra space, disc brakes. The rear end gear was real high it would would shift in to drive at 118 MPH when gas to the bottom. I totaled it when a old man in a galaxy 500 ran a stop sign. I was doing 75 MPH.
The car looked factory I just did not know how rare it was. My dad sold it as junk for $150.
Some of the cars I had. Not listing the normal every day drivers. And in no order.
