1981 Dodge D50 with a 2L Mitsubishi 4 cylinder. What a piece of crap motor valves would stick and only run on 3 cylinders. Like it wasn't gutless enough with all four running.

61chev belair. With a 65 283 with some mild tweaking could get third gear rubber with a three on the tree :). Easy peasy. Loved that car looked great doing brake stands with the big tires and big fender wells tires would be rotating for 10 seconds or so them the back of the car would just disappear :)

1980 GMC 4x4. 350 Auto. Had the option of this truck or a restored 49 ford pickup. Chose the 4x4 stupidly as I was 15 at the time. Paid $1000 and spent a year doing bodywork and paint. Sadly wrote this truck off 3 weeks after this pic.

My parents made me drive the family 1976 Torino for the first year. But I bought this truck when I was 15 so had a full year and a bit to work on it before I was aloud to drive it.
Was a super fun truck and gave the Irocs of the day a good run for it's money....
Originally a 250ci inline 6 (could not kill that engine) Three on the tree. Ended up putting a 350 with a borg warner (rock crusher) 4 speed in it.
