Rich kid cars.

I grew up in the early 70's. (graduated in 73) In high school there inly a couple Mopars. Jim Holmes had a black 63 Polara and I had my 69 Road Runner. There was a couple Camaro's, one a 302 Z car, a Boss 302 Mustang, one farm kid drove a Shelby 350, another farm kid had a 67 396 Chevelle, a cool Bahama Blue 67 Chevy II with a hot 327 and one kid bought a black Maverick new. A 302 car when they first were available. Day 2 it got Cragars and headers of course. One guy had a purple 54 Chevy. My friend Dave had a pale yellow 67 Fairlane, a 390 4 speed car that I could easily wax with my 383 Road Runner. Not bad for a small town with a population of around 2000. What a great time to grow up in. (well I never really grew up) I need to get on Facebook and see if I can round up some photos. We still had farm kids driving a pick up to school with a shotgun in a rack in the back window. LOL

I started a Facebook post and have received a few comments and some photos. I'll post some up later. Fun to see those old cars again.

Back when I turned 16, I remember a few guys my age got new cars. Datsun 280ZX, 2nd gen Trans Am, Bronco… I wasn’t impressed with any of them.

I’m still not. And have to laugh at someone paying $50k and up for those T/A’s.
