For me it would be my 67 Camaro.
Was still in HS and i had worked and saved to buy this car. Well any car but i picked this one.

Body looked ok in that bent roted way u can look pass when u get your frist car.
Fungus and mold didn't help. It had ok body were someone had been touching it up and done the body sometime b4.

Floors had patchs on top of patchs that had rotted out. DID i say Fungus.
Motor was 327 but it was in a hurting state of repair, It ran if u can call it that.

seats were ok and not torn but from water getting in and sun baking it ya it was still not to bad but when i pulled what was left of the carpets out oh ya thats stomic turner. Other wise i spent 500 bucks for a car that was in need of of everything.
I pulled the 327 and sold it for 100 bucks and 305 and droped that in and the motor ran fine. I cut out all floors and put in new sheet mettle and called it good.

I put all my extra time and my dad helped me and we got this rust bucket to drive and drive well. One of his buddys did body and paint for 800 bucks and car looked new.
After 2 months of driving the tranny went south and some guy at tanny shop that was getting his own car done asked me if i would sell it.

3000 bucks later i went out and got my 82 Z28. needless the trany went after 10miles whn i took my mom oput to dinner for lending me the other 3gs to pay for this car. She was not happy.

T birds never let me down. Cougar always ran good. new 85 that i em swaping all my stuff out came apart easy no big worries and all in all most of the car except for the boddy is good.
