1976 Cadillac, Big Engine, Great Demo Car

I bought this car from an old gent

living in a rest home. Told him I needed

a demolition derby car. He offered

this car. Was in good condition.

I should have kept it original.

  • 1972 Honda CL 450 Scrambler

    Got home from Vietnam in

    January of 1972. My dad was

    using my truck and camper, and

    my brother had sunk my 450

    in the reservoir. So as soon as

    I had 4 paychecks in my pocket,

    I bought this bike.

    After getting married in August,

    we moved to the Club Continental

    apartments in Anaheim. Even with

    a security guard in the parking

    garage, my bike was stolen. So

    I went and bought the CB 550

    I still have.

    Nice looking 1982 vehicle. 20

    years old with only 65,000 miles.

    Leather seats, automatic, and it

     had 4WD also. When I had it

    Had an employee who needed

  • 1951 Dodge, Modified Stock Race Car

    When I was a boy growing up in

    Michigan, cars were a way of life.

    I saw my first heat and main at

    Mt. Clemens Speedway.

    I later was in the pits at Flat

    Rock and Motor City.

    My dad was the shoemaker,

    my uncle was the chauffeur

    (mechanic and driver) of #44.

    My early recollections of that

    time are hearing that great

    American classic:

    ‘One Eyed One Horn Wild

    Purple People Eater’. How could

    you not remember that song ?!

    And the Sylvester the Cat race car

    and the triple 0 car my uncle Jake

    drove. We took 5th place in

    USAC modified stock car

    racing in Michigan in 1958.

  • 1966 GMC Stepside Pickup

    I went to work one day, as an

    almost 17 year old, and saw

    this red pick up in the lot. I found

    out it belonged to the shop

    foreman and that is was for sale.

    Why not  ? I said to myself.

    So I sold the 1958 Bel Air and

    bought this 1966 GMC Fire

    Engine Red Stepside Pickup.

    I had so much wax on it the

    cloth would slide off the

    hood. Put new lumber in the bed,

    chrome stove bolts and runners

    (later covered it up with black

    vinyl so I would not scratch it).

    No radio, A/C, or actually

    anything in it other than a

    heater, windshield wipers, and a

    lighter socket (no lighter).

    Bought some cheap slide-on

    headrests to classy it up a little,

    And  ‘Moon” hub caps.

  • 1966 Dodge Polara

    As I got married, and just before

    we moved into our Buena Park

    home, I had needed a car for my

    wife to drive. I picked up this

    car from my older brother.

    The car had been ordered new

    as a potential police car. That

    means oversize drums and brakes,

    the 440 commander engine, extra

    large battery, 383 rear end, and

    a whole bunch of other goodies.

    After a couple of years, I rebuilt

    the engine and we gave the car

    to my wife’s younger brother, who

    immediately lowered it, hung the

    fuzzy dice from the mirror, & put

    a bobble head in the rear window.

    Quick story–he decided to clean

    the radiator one day and figured

    drano would do the job. He called

    me after doing this and asked me

    if it was normal that water

    squirted out in many places in the

    front of the radiator.  

    Duh

    Well, I finally got tired of driving

    my truck with no radio, A/C, or

    cab lighting. Went driving down

    Whittier Blvd and saw this

    gorgeous car sitting on the lot.

    Talked to the salesman, liked

    what I heard, left my truck there

    and drove the Vette to Anaheim

    to show my dad. From there to

    Anaheim Finance, at the time a 2

    person office, saw the owner, and

    he initially said no. Then I took

    him outside to see the car, told

    who my dad was and 20 minutes

    later we paid the car dealer and

    drove the Vette home.

    I drove this to school every day

    and realized this car was meant

    for racing. I drove this car for a

    couple of years and only sold it

    because I was drafted and I knew

    if it was at home, my younger

    brother would destroy it and

    himself along with it.

    My first driving experience was in a 1959

    Lincoln Mercury Station Wagon. When I

    was 13, my dad would send me to the store

    to get milk and some cigars for him. Was

    lucky no one caught me. But he knew I had

    been around cars since I was 6 years old.

    (We were a racing family from Michigan.

    Around the tracks and pits all the time.)

    And I used to pretend driving an old 1951

    Hudson we had in our front yard, along

    with a 1962 Hillman.

    Took my first driving test in the ‘beast’. Got

    a 100 % on both the written and the driving

    tests (and in those days this included

    parallel parking !). They even put a placque

    on the DrivoTrainer for me.

    A small side note…Got my first ticket the

    same day I got my license. Pulled out of a

    parking lot at dusk and as I did I turned on

    my lights. Cop said I should have turned on

    the lights sooner.

    A little over 56,000 miles. This is

    new vinyl top, original carpet.

    Only a couple of small things to

    do : Repaint the trunk emblem,

    replace knobs on window cranks,

    change one beauty ring on one

    wheel, need 2 inner hub caps that

    that came off on freeway, and

    lastly change out engine hood

    pad. Though not really needed,

    the paint, due to having a semi-

    metallic type of paint, has

    faded a little and I will

    probably repaint and pin

    stripe the entire car. After that

    loud, and really good looking,

    I bought it for $400.

    Got a motorcycle license

    out for my brother who

    consequently let it go swimming
