T'was 1977...
I had of all things, a 1969 Renault 10! Rear engine, the clutch was a heck of a cable that gave trouble until grampa made a bad a$$ bracket for it. That car gave me fits.
That one didn't stick around long. 1967 Impala next. 350 with a 2 speed auto. Got busted for 62mph in a 35mph zone, and this was after being full throttle for a while! Stone reliable!
My best vehicle was number 3! 1964 Chevy Stepside Shortbed Truck. 250 6cyl and three on the tree. Couldn't kill that engine with revs... the lifters would collapse first! That thing did a LOT in the time I had it, from camping trips with my other church people, to pulling a boat down the coast. GRANITE reliable! I have the most fond memories of that one!
