Who needs a '66 mustang when you can rock a Falcon Futura? Note that speeds in a '66 Ford Falcon are kind of like "dog years." 135 in that Falcon was roughly the equivalent of 700 MPH in any reasonable car. -At that weight and at that speed you probably weren't making any sudden turns or stops.

The Nova was my first car I liked the first car I actually got from my parents was a 1984 Plymouth Horizon that was so badly rusted out that the floor in the car had a huge hole in it covered by a piece of ply wood. My friends called it the Flintstone mobile (cause if it ran out of gas we could always lift up the ply wood and run like Fred). It had no heat and in the winter in MI, there were times it would get so cold that I would literally push in the car lighter and warm my hands over it. It was essentially a death trap. I think at once point it had no windshield wipers either. How my parents thought it was safe, I have no idea. Perhaps they were trying to tell me something?

As for your redneck mobile, it is INDEED the mother of them all. Holy shit, I think if I look at those photos long enough a mullet might magically appear on my scalp. Why am I suddenly craving Kodiak Wintergreen, Cool Ranch Dorito's and Mountain Dew? -Great looking ride. No joke, quite the creation. You still have it?
