‘71 Mach 1 Mustang with a 351. Wish I still had it now!
 
This is the car I drove to school my senior year, 1975. It's a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle with a Rolls Royce fiberglass kit. The kit was called "The Elegant Beetle" made by a company here in Atlanta. I am told that Rolls Royce sued the company and production of the kits were halted. Sort of like the Glock/Smith & Wesson VE series, RR claimed the kit was too close of a resemblance to their product and won the judgement. The kit even included the "Flying Lady" hood ornament.

First car for me was Mom's pick. A baby blue 1972 Mercedes 220D. Slow as hell, prayed it would start in the harsh Utah winter (dang glow plugs) and I named her Xena because she squealed so loud and no matter what we did to remedy it she would still make her presence known. All the crap I put up with that car, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. I'm a little more mechanically inclined now and could probably figure out the gremlins.
