A few that Bailey has owned.

I was going through my photobucket account looking for a picture and thought I'd share a few pictures.

HIGH SCHOOL YEARS

My first real car 1976 Aspen R/T - got crunched between a Maverick and a 67 Chevelle


So I traded it for this 1973 Nova - only picture I got is from after I stupidly traded it off.


In the meantime I swapped for this. A 69-70 Mustang. Gutted interior, straight axle and a small block.


I traded the Mustang and Ford Fairmont for a 77 Trans AM that was a big POS which I couldn't get insurance on. Around that time I bought a 56 Chevy on a Grand Prix frame. It was a POS as well, but for $85 what more could you expect.

OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL

On my 18th Birthday a local guy came by and wanted the Trans AM, he had a 61 Chevy truck that I had been lusting after. So I traded the Trans AM and the 56 body to him. I was finally back in a running driving vehicle of my own.

Thats the 56 I traded in the background.


A year or so later the truck looked like this


In 1987 we ( the family) ended up with this 71 Mustang. Paid like 500 for it I think.


From there the tale just keeps going on and on.

I love that old Stang.

me 2 except the hood scoop.

thats what we use to put on them. that or snorkles

Man, I didn't see anything but red X's. Did I get here too late or are the censors at work?

censors are working. man that one picture she was HOT. damn doug you didnt get to see her.

lol. your firewall must be stopping your pics. turn it off or try a different computer. I went through this trying to see Bill's pics

I can't hardly turn the firewall off at work......

I can see all the old pix. I'm headed home finally and see what's there.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I put in a hard 12 hours today!

Oh Doug! it will all be worth it. the boss will see the hard work you have been putting in and you will be the man!. you sure are workin' hard but one day it will be worth it. $100,000,000,000 a year income and any traditional car you want to buy you can have. "THAT A BOY DOUG!!!" inside joke people! lol

you need a "that a boy doug" award.

nah . just a "that a boy" award for anyone that needs a pat on the back to feel good. lol sad thing is only like 3 people even know what we are talking about. lol

Well, I finally got home and can see the pixs. Can't believe anybody in their right mind would trade a Mustang and a Fairmont for some GM stuff. I guess you have to look at the source..

How did that old Ford with the axle handle? and was it a 351 or a big block?

The Mustang handled like you'd expect a straight axle car with alot of rough usage to handle. It did run good though, which was no surprise. When you lifted the hood off , you found a small block Chevy lurking under there.

Small block Chevy in a ford,, lol the only way to go in my book that had to be a fun car.

Man, I finally got to read this about that throw away motor in that Ford. That's a disgrace. Hopefully you bought it that way and didn't commit the sin of installing a Chevy into a Ford (LOL) That's why there's so many SBC's around, you just use'm and throw'm away. One of the best Chevys I ever drove was a 56 Sedan Delivery (with a 440 Chrysler in it). I gotta be true to the blue.

Help me Jeff, you're the other Ford man! DD can't get on here to help out.

hey what doug said.


that a boy doug. give em hell. it will all be worth it at the end. lol

I did buy it with the bowtie in it. I've owned a few Fords, I've never been picky about the make of my cars.

Thanks Riggs.........

I'm as picky about my cars as I am my women!

Oh wait, my Merc's a mess...don't let my wife see any of this ( or all of Corey and my girl friends). Please ignore the previous reply!! LOL

you like them black and spitting fire evey chance they get.? you are starting to sound like Dennis now. lol

Man. I never even thought of that. I could really be in trouble at home.

I thought old Junkyard Jeff would help out for the Ford cause but I see he's been here and gone. I guess I have to take all this crap by myself. I'm awfully thin skinned. I probably better get off before I come to tears!

I like the pictures of your cars ,although I couldnt make out the first one. But ya'll have some pretty cool automobiles

Sorry about the picture quality. It was taken with a disc camera , oh about 20 years ago.


I bet Corey hasn't ever heard of , let alone seen a disc camera. Back in those days 35MM was for rich people and digital cameras were something in sci-fi movies.
