At 15 years old I bought a 1964 Tempest custom convertible in boxes, literally boxes of parts. ~John -----Original Message----- From: amc-list-bounces@xxxxxxx [mailto:amc-list-bounces@xxxxxxx] On Behalf Of russ hathaway Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 1:58 PM To: AMC-List@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [AMC-List] first cars My first car was 1959 Rebel wagon. It needed rod bearings and it was basically fix it or walk. I paid $75, we dragged it home, I pulled the pan and had a guy with a portable crank turner turn the rod jounals (are those still around?). New bearings and I was good to go. All this was done on a dusty drive way. I drove that car for years. Growing up if I wanted a car I had to see what car was available in the family stable......Russ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
