Black with black vinyl interior. $2900 complete. I wish I had a picture to show you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat ya to it... mine was a 1971 Lime Green, also a hand me down. My sister wanted that car, and my father bought it for her, only for her to steal my Uncle's 1965 Ford Mustang. The Mustang was supposed to be mine. I never forgave my sister for stealing it from me lol... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Werblin Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 A van that my brother and i customized. I actually cannot recall if it was a Ford or Chevy. Anyway, my brother and i Covered it floor to ceiling in shag carpet and installed benches and a table. I got pulled over by cops quite a bit when driving in quiet NJ neighborhoods near my girlfriends house in my white van with blacked out windows and NY plates, especially when a school was nearby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine at 10 years old right after my Aunt and Uncle drove it from Texas to NY. I honestly don’t think I ever drove it more than an hour at one time. Partly because it start 6 or 7 times out of 10. Truly a honest to goodness toilet seat of a car. It lasted about 9 months and I blew a rod driving 45 in a 55, because that’s about all it had left.

My clutch cable snapped through the firewall between the engine and clutch pedal in the middle of Manhattan in 1979. I wasn't old enough to drive in Manhattan so I couldn't do much. I literally waited from about 7pm to 10pm or so to let traffic die down and I drove that car, with no clutch, from NYC to Suffolk county. Stopping at toll booths, traffic etc..... changing gears with no clutch. Find me a 17 year old kid who can do that!!!!

Not my first car, but when I lived in the SF Bay Area my Blazer's transmission "went" in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge. Somehow got it into a workable second gear until my mechanic's place in San Rafael. Laugh about it now. Then? Not so much. That was also the end of my Blazer, which I absolutely loved and had brought from NY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had EMT training the night our choir sang at the White House Rose Garden. I was following the bus that had all the other students with just me an my best friend. At 65 miles an hour the entire car would shake like an earthquake. It was the funniest thing, because the bus wanted to go faster, but it couldn't because it would have left me behind lol... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a certain speed/rpm where it would easily fall into gear with a lil push but 1st gear was never an option. I agree you probably had to start her in gear while the starter motor actually moved the car and then fanagle the gas. Good job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
