vision386 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have had no less than four Pinto's!! And yes, they did what they were supposed to do which at times was a place to sleep with the girlfriend, (now my wife of 34 years) so they are not all bad. Now blowing, we'll leave that private.RobRob,there is a party around here who still has a pinto "sedan delivery" like a small station wagon,has an oval shaped porthole in the back on both sides,pretty nice shape other than the usual rocker rust,a real "shaggin'wagon" LOL! whens the last time you saw one?.......................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

lucerne tractor Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That young man has proven that he is mature beyond his years so there's no need to protect him from the truth.What he's trying say Vinny is that when a boy and a girl love each other....uh....they buy a donkey and let it ride in the back seat.

umodelnut Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Wow this is seriously a great thread!!! But Ben, your my friend, but I still don't think chicks will dig a pinto. Sorry. I think they will dig my u model though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry T Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 My 2000 3/4 Ton 4X4 is feeling a bit neglected lately. The new girlfriend has a Jag XJ8 & I have to say I like driving it a lot better than my truck. Not really a car guy but I'll suffer a little!

The receiver hitch played hell with the hood and windshield with the bumper hurting the "A" pillars and fenders. I kinda liked those but the only wagon I had was a real gem as it was a "Squire". That 2300 automatic was not the most reliable due to the 2300 series Holley two barrel that liked to puke gasoline outside the throttle body.

other dog Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 any time a girl calls me because they liked my MACK or my 55 DODGE im going to answer and before they say anything ill say "no". that'll last about as long as Pat stayed in the army.

DodgeMan Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Mine was a 68 Barracuda fastback Formula "S" car. 340 four speed. Prolly conceived my son in the back at the drive in movie theater.Don't have any original photos of when I got it as they were lost in the basement flood with so many others.I still see that car from time to time. Like everytime I look in the garage as I never sold it.RobVery Nice Rob!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeMan Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Well my first car was a 1984 Jeep Cj-7 that was stolen while i was in at work. Frame off rebuild bottom up had over $7,500 in it and my insurence company said because it had a R title it was only worth $2,000 (insurence companys what a rip off). My first car tho is this 1972 Dodge Challenger, 340 auto on floor with factory ac, no power brakes or power steering. I often thought about selling it but dont think i could ever replace it. I bought it a year after i got out of school ( witch would of bin 2002).And my other pride and joy other then the 2 Mack would be this 1974 Dodge Ramcharger. Very few left with the no door post option, only built 6 months that way, to many people complained they leaked. So Dodge recalled them and replaced the half doors with full doors and a top to match.Its a deff. head turner, same as the challenger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been years since I've seen the Ramcharger like that. There was one in the St. Louis area I remember but I only seen it a couple of times. I had repaired a few of them when popular but they were all full doors with a very heavy fiberglass top.The only "E" body Chrysler I owned was a 70 "AAR" Barracuda. It was all original and I put a rt. 1/4, original Chrysler hood, (warped) and straightened the rt. door. I did grind the valves but that was about it and sold the car. If I still had balls I'd certainly be kicking them myself right now. The other Mopar I wish I'd kept in hindsight was a 70 Road Runner "Superbird". This car has a 440 "Super Commando" and four speed, (A833) but for some reason was not built with a Dana rear axle. It had the 8.75 Chrysler rear with a 3.91 gear. loved the car due to the tuxedo interior with the bench seat. Nice car but a real tank to negotiate traffic with given the nose hangover.RobRob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

nfreema5 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 First vehicle I ever had was my dad's old Geo Prizm. Unflattering in every regard but it never left me stranded.. Drove that my junior year of high school. Year after my grandfather passed away and I inherited his Toyota Matrix. Fun little car with a 5 speed, but it wasn't for me. The summer after I graduated I sold that car and bought a 1992 Dodge 3/4 diesel and haven't looked back, much to my parents' chagrin. Not being "car people" at all, they didn't know why the hell I would sell a mint-condition compact to buy a 20 year old diesel truck. I don't think they'll ever really understand.-Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I heard a story about one of my great grandpas on my nanas side who had a 1971 cuda(rare) that was blue, sold it to a kid and you'll never believe what happened to it...

I swapped the 440 and four speed into the "Bee", repainted the car it's original yellow with a new rear black stripe, and mask kit for the magnum wheels, then sold it. It was also a bench seat car with black interior. Damned four foot long pistol grip shifter........This one did not have a fresh air hood or side scoops. Looked just like a bare Coranet with the exception of the stipe across the decklid and quarters. Of course it had the hot rod "B" emblems too.

41chevy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 My turn to bore you. My 57 Chevy my father and I built while I was in school 1968/70 301 with tunnel ram...stupid idea.. The Challenger I bought when I got out of service and still have it. 440 6 pack ,4 speed with leather interior, thats our honeymoon photo. The 55 was my fathers E/gas 1/8 mile race car in the early 60's thats me in 1973 making it streetable 427 4 speed 5:13 gears. Last is the car now in 2012. Still has 5:13 gear and 4 speed but I put my father 302 Jimmy 6 back in it with the original Wayne head and 6 carbs now converted to EFI and the Econoine I beam is back in it.

JumperAndSon Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 You know I was thinking,Vinny and I are some of the few kids that will have good stories when we grow up. There's a lot of teenagers out there that won't. Like, how impressive is "Well, my first car was a 2001 Dodge Caravan that my mom let me drive." I love hearing all the stories that all the great men ot this site have to tell, but I'm afraid future generations may not get to have that experiance.Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(also 383/4 speed) as a pair,i did the swap over a weekend,the car ran great! only superbee i ever saw that was factory triple black with a white tailstripe.Also had the enormous hurst shifter,though not a pistolgrip. Dumbass traded it for a wore out SS el-camino even up,the kid that bought the superbee wrapped it around a tree a few months after buying it! too much car for a 17 year old i suspect!.....................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
