Saw my high school car on TV last night!

[Boschma]

Was watching an old episode of American Hot Rod and spotted my car. Makes me wish I had never sold it. :grumble:

I had it at Boyd's on consignment. It's the red and white '56 Chevy Wagon.

Pretty nice. I could only dream of driving something like that in HS....

<------- Drove POS crap cars in his younger days......

Sadly, a buddy of mine had a nice complete Enderle Stack Injection system at Boyd's......when Boyd died so did all recollection of Armen's injection....

Wasn't the first time Boyd screwed someone, looks like his last time though.

Haha, I bought it in 8th grade with everything I had ever saved my whole life and paper route money. Then every Christmas, Summer and Spring break from 8-12grades were spent working at my grandpa's dairy to help find the project. I did get loans, but all were paid back with time.
I was raised with a "if you want something, then work for it" attitude.

So was I but around here there was no work. Paper route was a long waiting list. Government town and no family that owned businesses. So I rode that thing from school five miles to a car wash where I made $1.65 an hour cleaning cars for 2 hours a day. Got a job pumping gas and rode the bike to that job and saved enough money to buy a 68 GTO. But I was out of school by then.

Sadly, it's buried behind a coupla other projects and needs to see the light of day again soon. It's been resting under a cover for 20 years...
