So funny guys. When I was shopping for my first set of wheels at 16 my dad drug me all over looking at stuff he thought I'd like. 1971 Mach 1 Mustang - nope, ugly and too big. 1969 Dodge Charger - nope, ugly and too big (wish I had this one now).

Car I wanted? Guy had a 1969 AMC AMX with the go package for sale. Posi, four speed, 390, four barrel car. My dad drove it and told me I couldn't buy it. Too much car for me.

A couple weeks later I got my 1970 stepside and drove it for the next seven years. Wish I would have kept it.
