Our youth in hot rodding

I know some of us are all over the age chart but there are some cars I look at that just brings back that feeling of youth and freedom. A time when you didn't have a care in the world other than girls, cars rock n roll and enough pocket change to put gas in whatever we were driving.

Some cars I see just bring those times back. Here are a few. What do you guys see that brings back those times?

How many of you can relate to this?

2 ton 77 T bird with a hood scoop. I remember Cougar we beat on like this. Put a set of tire on it on a Friday morning and by Sunday they were slicks from line locks all week.

I love this!

Had a 64 GTO IN DARK BLUE THAT WAS SET UP TO LOOK LIKE THIS!!! Damm the memories of that one and the trouble i got in with it!!    

I think I recall seeing that Mustang for sale years ago out off of Rt.42...stopped by and checked it out but the price was not in budget and the notchback was always a bit 'meh' for me personally. I think that's because the fastback was just SOOOO knock-out gorgeous on the '69-'70 models.

Looks like something I'd own. I had a cop pull me over one time and ask me if it was against the law to drive without a hood on my car. I looked at him and told him he was the cop. If it was wright a ticket so I could get back to cruising the 'Avenue..

When I was 16 it wasn't uncommon to see cool cars. You never really thought they would ever be gone. Man was I wrong. When I first started driving there was one of these, I'm sure it was the real deal sitting on old 25 out past Richwood, Ky I thought about asking if it was for sale but never did. It sat there for a few years and it's hard to say what happened to it.

that H/O went to a guy in Hebron who did a frame off on it in 2010

No kidding.. It's a small world isn't it. At least it wasn't junked.

yeah I use to stop about once a month and ask, he was always "just about to get it going again" then one day its was just gone, I asked if he got it going and his wife said she "got it gone"

Heres one of my 72 challenger that I drove in high school,never got a picture of it finished.

The type of garage I've worked in most of my life.
This was when I put the 53 back together after paint, right under a shade tree.  

now that would make a great gasser!

Last I heard, that one was sitting behind the house of the guy I traded it to, sunk to the frame in the mud.

thats just freaking sad man

Only pic I have of my first car.
Yep, it was jacked up with wide cragars under the rear   

There is a 70 sitting on local small lot that has me drooling, Ky plates too.

Check you out! Saturday Night Fever! I dig the Olds!
