Quoted: Class of 1977. 1970 Saturn Yellow Buick GSX Stage I. Not Mine... Damm it I was driving a 1964 Buick Skylark 300 4bbl. View Quote I bought the yellow GSX in 1970 when living in Chicago. My BIL had the white one. Kept it only 3 years and consider that my biggest mistake ever relating to material possessions. |

91 or 92 White I-roc Camero drop top. Later painted an ugly dark green, such a waste.
Also had a few midnight blue Chevy extra cabs destroyed by entitled kids. One was a lowridder with custom Boyd's wheels, the other had a matching pair, one 2, the other 4 wheel drive purchased with his grandmothers estate. Saw both of them wasting away in the back of a local body shop after he decided freebase coke was the way long after that was fashionable. Occasionally the AG/welding shop teacher would bring his sons tubbed 383 Vega to school. Also had an early 40's Plymouth with a Camero sub frame that succomed to insurance fraud. My 56 GMC was in the line up, 4x4 conversion. Still have it, but it was and still is more primer than paint. Also had a Manxx buggy and a Baja supper bug in the mix. Class of 95. |

Class of 85, anyone with a brain bought a used / salvageable car for a good price and then took auto shop that year.

My physics professor races amateur rally and would drive the rally car he built to work semi regularly.
A guy I work with, much older than me, built a peterbilt truck in a junkyard and used that to go to highschool every day. |

Not mine. 1974 Two Tone Brown 1974- 4 Door Ford Maverick - 6 cylinder. Grandma hand-me-down.
Friends were embarrassed to ride in it. |

Class 87. A Ferarri Testarossa. Kids dad let him take it to school once in a while. 1 ticket and he'd never drive it again. Even parking. His dad was rather strict. Kid well behaved.

I remember one kid had a brand new late 80s black IROC-Z. His dad hit the rail road jackpot and they always had brand new cars. He had a super hot girlfriend too.

A 67-68 Camaro SS/RS, hideaway headlights, 4 spd., blue/white, he had a completely rebuilt & modded 350, 4 bolt, F.I. heads, cam, headers, big Holley, great interior, yada yada. Like a new car. Fast, beautiful.

A buddy had a '72 Impala convertible. We used to cruise back roads drinking Miller ponies and throwing the empties into the ditches. Senior year he sold it to guy two years behind us in class and bought a '78 Z78 with airshocks. What a POS. The guy that bought the Impala hit a deer a month after buying it and totalled it out.
Had another friend that drove a '71 Charger. He was putting new rear ends in it almost monthly. Those were good times. |

I don't know how or where he got it, but my buddy Kurt drove a OTAS 820 to high school our senior year. It was 15-20 years old but still in good shape.

I was paroled from the cess pool of a high school I was forced to attend in 1994.
My 1957 Plymouth was the only cool car among the japanese crap and front wheel drive penalty boxes in the parking lot. |
|
I had a turquoise blue 68' 396/4spd SS Chevell and my sister drove a triple black Buick GS 455. Her bf had a tubbed n' blown 1957 Chevy. My buddy drove a 1967 Coronet R/T. There were cool cars everywhere in the last century.

Mid 1980’s
Either the 1970 dodge challenger black with some chrome accents (but very little) Or The mid 70’s trans am black with gold trim The late 60’s Chevelle would have been up there but he wrecked it |
|
I was homeschooled...
But I had a 1988 Buick century... In the year 2000. It almost worked some of the time. |
|
Class of 1985
1973 F150 4x4 Puke green color. Also had a 1963 Triumph Spitfire. I paid $50 for that car. |
|
I did have an 86 Trans Am at time of graduation which was only a year old at the time with 16K miles on it. It was a few month early graduation present.

Green 1970 Superbird with a 440. But that was just the start. The kids dad owned the local speed shop. The car was anything by street legal. But the local cops pretty much all bought their speed stuff from the dad's shop. No one ran against him but it ws cool to watch a 17 year old kid run times that rivaled the pros.

Class of 84
My one year older sister had it, cheerleader, blonde and likely the best looking girl in our HS ( she was adopted ). Picture Barbie Benton with blonde hair, no shit they could have been twins. Sisters a fat cow now. 66 Mustang coupe my dad and I restored, real pile when it came home, it was beautiful when done. FLAWLESS ruby red metallic paint, Cragar SS chrome wheels with a 289 cobra motor in it. No gawdy bullshit just a really clean classic. She had it for a couple of years and decided she didn't want it anymore so pops offed it and got her a new Honda CRX that she promptly totaled. The douche bag that bought the Mustang wrapped it around a telephone pole drunk 3 months after he bought it, shame he didn't kill himself but you know how drunks are like rubber. Me I had a POS 70 VW bug, cal style bright yellow. |
|
Class of '72, and my best friend Mike had a late 60s (can't remember which year exactly) Plymouth Barracuda Formula S. Man, that thing would fly. His dad owned a repair shop and had bought it with a blown engine. Mike, his dad, and I rebuilt that engine as a shop class project. We got an "A" when it fired up on the first turn of the key.

Class of 2000. One kid had a pretty new Gold Ford Mustang GT in our junior year. It was gone for senior year though. Confiscated after his father was arrested for embezzling. ??
|
|
One kid had a brand new Porsche 944 in Red. His father apparently owned a couple of successful deli's.
I figure for every dollar that went into the register one went under the table. |
|
Not really anything. Just normal stuff. I truly don't remember anyone driving anything that was his totally bad ass. Yeah some of the rich kids had BMWs and stuff but it was all low series churched up Honda type stuff.
|
|
Graduated '71.
1969 rich kid in the next class (Senior year to my Junior year) shows up with a new Chevy Chevelle SS. A week later rich kid in my class shows up with new Chevy Chevell SS with cowl induction. I would have killed for either one. Had another kid, not rich, a year ahead of me with a Firebird Trans-Am, '69 if I remember correctly. A few years later we became good friends and I helped him with street racing it. Good times. |

Class of ‘76.
When I was a Sophomore a Senior classman had a 1966 Shelby Hertz GT350 that had a full weld-in roll cage and a 289 Cobra engine with the (4) 2bbl Webers straight from Shelby American. That thing was SO beautiful and badass….. In 1976 a buddy of mine showed up one day in a 1970 Hemi- Superbird. |
|
Class of 2003
In my opinion the coolest cars that were in the lot were an 03 Cobra, 98 Integra Type R, second gen Ford Lightning, and a FC RX7 Turbo. One kid's dad owned a used dealership and he always had some cool stuff, but usually not for long, he showed up in a Viper for about two weeks. There were also some kids with nice lifted full size trucks. Now the fastest car in the lot was an early 90's Eagle Talon TSI. The AWD one with the 4G63 turbo motor. It was modded heavily and it embarrassed a shitload of people. Namely the modded Mustang crowd. Though looking back there were a bunch of nice Fox bodies that were pretty quick. I had an 89 CRX Si and I miss that car so much. |
