1964 Hillman Imp, similar to this. Rear engine aluminum, overhead cam, ahead of its time...Didn't handle too well though. Designed to compete with the mini but never quite pulled it off.

1984 Taupe Sunbird... paid like $2500 for it... insurance $3100... still a farce back then... stick shift ... taught myself how to drive it... blew the clutch out 4 years later... in Madoc on the way home to Oshawa... cost me $700 to fix it... was never right after that crook "fixed" it... I liked that car... got me back and forth to visit the future wife in Kingston at school... usually with the needle buried!! yee haw!!!

1986 Chevy Camaro. Red, t-tops, 72' vette engine that I did up pretty good. I still have the car, but it hasn't seen the road in quite a while. I'll put up some pics later.

I had a burgundy/black topped 67 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. Plain Jane with only a 289 but it was a fun car. Lots of memorable trips in "The Gal" One time 7 of us and all our gear went camping for 3 days in it. It would fit 3 people comfortably in the trunk for sneaking into the drive in for long weekend all nighters. It also got about 25 miles to the gallon on the highway if you laid off the 4 barrels....

 

My dad rebuilt the motor for me and left it in the car while he did it!!! There was enough room to stand inside the engine bay while doing the top end and for the bottom end we just put it on jackstands to do the bottom end.

 

I found a pic that looks just like it here.
