Before that, I was in a front-end collision in that car when my brakes failed at an intersection. The car was barely damaged, although I did need to replace the radiator. The bodies of those old cars were made of steel (10-gauge, I think) — and between the front bumper and the radiator was a space of about a foot.

A car that survived six “races” should at least get a place in the Hall of Fame

Cool old car, Kiltak. That model had great visibility, too.

My 1st car: http://www.chooseyouritem.com/classics/photos/104000/104064.1974.Pontiac.LeMans.2-Door.Coupe.jpg

A Lemans 1974…. God I loved that car, but unfortunately, it didn’t last very long (about 6 months). Most of the electric wires had to be changed in the car, and this was way to costly considering that other things would probably break in the following months..

So I sold it to a dealer for $500 and got myself a Cavalier 2006.
