1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 convertible

I can't believe I found this photo! Red on red with white top. Cool! Not the actual car, but amazing to find one exactly like it!


My first car in 1971 was a '66 Chevelle SS 396 convertible that I paid around $300 in 1971, just before my 16th birthday. I made the money working at my uncle's Texaco station on Kendall Drive in South Miami (by K-land and Baptist Hospital). The guy I bought it from was a customer and he would hang around the station, shootin the breeze (ahh.. the pre- facebook era!).

Nick Sharpe's 1970 Mercury Montego MX Competition Orange with Keystone Kustomags

My ride from 2001-2012. 1970 Mercury Montego MX with 302 V8 and C4 auto trans, and original "competition orange" color just like it rolled out from the showroom floor. I added some period correct mods, like Keystone Kustomags, a CherryBomb, Sun tach and air shocks. Other mods include 550# springs in the rebuilt front for safety and lots more fun (ready for mulholland!)
