| DarkXander's Cars: #1 1976 Dodge Aspen Coupe Posted by: DarkXander at 03-27-2016 03:17 AM, Last Modified 03-27-2016 05:11 AM |
My First Car! Got it through the Family, The car didnt run and was given to me when i was 15, basically dad said, heres a car for you to fix up so when your old enough to get your license your ready. I had already been building my own electronics projects so finding the problem only took a few days, one of the plastic hold downs of the cabling had broken and the exhaust manifold and burned through half of one of the wiring harnesses. It took 4 hours to cut out the bad section and resplice all the wires back togeather with longer pieces i could tie down in a safe place. After that she started right up and i drove it around the ranch. Look on dads face was priceless as he never thought i would figure it out without his help. At night and other times when my parents werent home i would go out on farm roads and drive that thing like i stole it, didnt even have a license yet and never got caught, except by dad, like 3 times. That straight 6 engine in such a small car would lite up the tires like crazy even at 40 mph if i floored it hard. Broke one of the motor mounts doing that tho too. XD Never got to legally drive the car as we sold it before i got my license, Turns out relatives had given it to us free, and we sold it for 2000 after i fixed it all up and drilled out the 2 Barrel Carb to give it even more power. Wish i had kept some pictures of the car that gave me the racing spark. I can honestly say, every minute i drove it i was breaking the law....... |
