    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    1960 Chevy BelAir
    4 door 235 straight six
    Bought for $100 in 1974
    Sold to a buddy when I went into the service
    for $25 in 1976. His Brother still has the car.
    No action in that car. I got a 1966 Plymouth in 1975
    that was my good car. The Chevy was the ugly
    "work car". And work for me then was hard and dirty.
    A day like that now would kill me.

    1977 was the last year for European production. Ford started producing them in NA after that and they became a piece of junk.

    It's been a great vehicle. Sure, we've replaced a few things on it, sure it's got tire/wind noise, sure it's got creaks and squeaks. But it's taken a LOT of abuse from me and shows no signs of giving up!

    I was a Freshman in college in 1970 when I got my 1963 Mercury Comet, 4 door sedan. 6 cylinder, no AC, no power steering and no radio :eek: I put an aftermarket radio and speakers (Kraco) into it. I bought it for $245. I put about 25K miles on it. I did not lose my virginity in it (that was long gone).

    I think about that old clunker from time to time. Here's a picture of one that is very similiar in color:

    My first car was a '65 Mustang 2-door hardtop with a 289 V-8.

    Most folks said the color was black, but it was actually (from the window sticker) "Dark Spanish-Moss Green, Metallic."

    I took it away from my parents, as they were uncool. :)

    I finally traded it for some POS, because I was far too attached to the Mustang. I've never been as happy with any other car.
