73 raging horses from three multiport fuel injected cylinders
You were lucky! I only had two cylinders, and the carb was the size of a thimble!
1971 Honda 600. Killed by a Ford Torino while I was showing off by sliding sideways in the snow. That's me in the yellow tee, 2nd pic.

Death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

1988 5.0 Bird, mostly stock, partly not, now gone to T-Bird heaven.
1990 Volvo 740GL. 114 tire-shredding horsies, baby!

First car ever was a 1973 Super Beetle that I bought for $400 from my cousin's boyfriend when I was only 12 years old. Most of the engine was missing but the heads, block, and generator were in the trunk.  I never got it running but I definitely learned a lot.  I held onto the parts for years for sentimental reasons (the cousin died about a month after I bought it) but last year I finally dragged it to the sper. 

First running car was a '81 (or so) Toyota Corolla wagon.  RWD, 5 speed, and 3TC engine (I think) and 230K+ that my dad bought for $750 when I was 14.  I didn’t learn anything productive except how to drive a stick pretty well and how to off-road in Alabama red mud.  I started getting trouble in middle school and my dad sold it REAL quick - so I learned that lesson fast!

Neither of the pictures are of the actual cars - but the Bug is my 2nd 73 Super beetle that I still have now (both were originally Sumatra green) and the Corrolla is the closest thing I could find on ebay.

I would post a pic but I have two problems.
 1: The only pic I have of the car it is under three feet of snow.
 2: I tried to find a good pic of one on the inter net put they were all converts that I found


It was an 89 Chrysler LeBaron hard top in two tone brown

Atleast you can buy full quarters for a 66 chevelle!  I can't for the 73 nova.  Can for 72 but nooooo not 73.

I'll get some pics of my 85 T-bird when I get home. My parents made me sell it for a more reliable 93 Mustang LX 2.3 AOD. Back then I couldn't figure out why the 5.0 CFI would stall at stoplights. Now I know it was just . :D
