OK, After reading some of your military experience I have too ask. What is everyones age? I think there are a lot more mature members here. :-) You know you have wondered. I personally am 40. Happily married with 3 kids. Anyone else what to fess up?

i'm 16...............with 2 kids.............just kidding :)

I'm old enough to know better. It seems to come down to this from time to time.

My year model is 1957.

40 physically.







4.5 mentally. :P :P :P :P

Let me put it this way. The first car I bought was a '57 Chevy , 283, 4 barrel, Powerglide trans. I paid $400 for it . The car was only 7 years old at the time. 8)

dude, you people are OLD. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ha! I was 13 when I bought my first car...a 67 RS Camaro for $65.00, had my driver's license then too. Me and my wife are both 61 models.

I am 18. My sprint is vehicle number 6 for me in the last 3 years.

Charles

18

learned to drive at 13

had my elco since i was 15, but it seems like yesterday....

53 model here. lol

I'm in my last year of being in my 20's big 3-0 in 11 months.

Headed for the hill at 49, Learned to drive at 15, Most of the cars I've owned have been from 66, that magic year. 66 fairlane, 66 satelite, 66 coronet 440 w/hemi, 65 skylark GS w/432, 74 pinto wagon w/302 and now my 66 El Camino. Do all my own work except front end aligns, tire changes, and exhaust. :-D

49 going on 18...5 kids...3 grand kids. Have a 1954 model (wife that is) and 5 other cars...thinking of trading something in on a newer model. Just not sure if it's going to be one of the cars. Don't let my wife read this, that frying pan hurts my head! :lol:

"SIXTY", Please Somebody Be Older In This Group !!!

I'm in my last year of being in my 20's big 3-0 in 11 months.

Life begins at 30!

:D 8) 8-) Like Jack Benny, I'm 39(1964 model), and I do not plan on acting any older. I've been stuck on 18 for 21 years, and I plan to keep on going until my powertrain goes. :cool:

I've been stuck on 18 for 21 years, and I plan to keep on going until my powertrain goes. :cool: http://home.pacbell.net/zippom/iagree.gif Well...i've been stuck on 18 for a little longer than 21 years...but that's where i seem to be still. :D

Im 17 got my elky a month after my 17 birthday

I'll be 36 at the start of '04. And you run and you run to catch up to the Sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again. the Sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death. P F :cry:

I was born 4 years before my car was made....Ouchy!

8O

:P I was born on 4/1/60... :lol: "SKULL"

hi all,
hmm, building-date: Sep. 1963 :cool:

My Born on date is 1959. I am officially older than dirt. I have actually only owned one El Camino, but I bought it in '82. Anyone have theirs longer than me?

My 1980 has been in the family off the showroom floor. My fatherinlaw purchased it new in Las Vegas. When he passed it was given to me. I was the only one to take any interest or care of it when I visited. I had it trailered to Chicago. I have two sons who are waiting in line for it and a young grandson whose 6 and loves drag racing and NASCAR. :D :D

I'm 16 as of November. Getting my license in about a week and a half, too. (That is, if my dad helps me get my Elky's tune-up finished -- he has all my new parts!)

I'm an official old timer, in his 50's. I've enjoyed over 100 automobile toys and I'll keep one or two until they pry my driver's license from my pocket!

Age is a frame of mind. Daryl Starbird and George Barris are my heros!

Turned 44 in November, sometimes I feel like a lot older than that. The only thing that makes me feel like a kid is my Custom Sprint.


Brian

48, bought the Elky with my 15 yr old son. His project and daily driver once he gets his license. Also have a '49 GMC, need at least one vehicle older than me around. Daughter is 13, already think about what "our" car will be (Camaro, Chevelle, vintage Mini). OK, I do like cars other than Chevys, I admit it. :cool:

Conceived in the baskseat of a Chevy sometime in August of 1963 8O

Born on Date: 05/15/1964

Best when used by: 05/15/2004 (40th B-Day) :P

Been in Texas (Houston area) all my life.

Very happily married :D with 17 year old daughter (brat)

Also have a 2002 Torch Red Corvette Coupe. I plan on painting the 68' Elkie which is already red, to match the Vette.

I'm going to turn 50 (wow! :yell: ) this summer... 1969 (my El Camino's birth year) marked the end of the coolest decade in American history in so many different ways... so I'm partial to the cars and bikes from that era.

49, with two boys 11 and 5. So, I''ll get to go thru the "first real car" thing all over again two more times!

Im a 54 model, 50 in June.

3 Kids girl 28, 23( Son in Navy, this is his ElCamino, I must have taught him well) and a 12 yo girl

77th car, Wish I would have kept about 40 of them.

Started Drag Racing when I was 16, when all you had to do is have a license, drop your glasspaks, put on your lapbelt, and go

I am 47, my first car was a gold 69 Elky(307 auto), followed by a screaming 350/4-speed, gold 69 Elky. got married, got 3rd 69 Elky 10 years later, sold it to best friend, just bought it back this year(for my son who is 24) and sinking my retirement into it.

Used to race a 62 Impala SS 409 at Pomona in 1963 when I was 20 years old. The headers were given to me by Gary Hooker because he used my car to build the jig to make more off of. After I won my class, S/S, (11.98, 115.90) was beaten by a half car length by Roland Leong, running a 63 Dodge 426. He won SS/A, and we were going for Street Eliminator. In those days the race was started by a flagman, and you raced heads up. Handicapping (for elimination brackets) was done by spotting the slower car a few feet in front of the starting line, no christmas tree! Those were the days! (I don't feel old, still like to get on my Harley and get it on!)

Let's see...

Age: 26
Married: 7.5 years (got married at the age of 19) :?
Children: Nope! Not in the plan either. 8)
El Camino: 1980 SS (had it for about 4 months now)
Other cars: 1994 Honda Accord (pretty much stock) and 2000 Olds Alero (Wife's car)

This is not only my first El Camino, it's also the first car I'm attempting to completely customize. 8O

I have my daily driver 1992 C1500 truck (needs work) ,my78elky,my dads 62 409 Bel-Air,my large collection of new and used snap on tools,the donated garage "parts" "area" my guns (locked of course), my fly fishing equipment (boat) assorted tackle boxes, fishing rods,my assorted RC cars&trucks,parts,my "old 70's stereo",and my homemade beer making junk/stuff..yes iam feel like iam getting older! :P

I just turned 41. Wife is a year behind me . . . . No kids, just a dog.

"It ain't the age, honey - it's the miles . . ."

28 cars since I turned 18 - GM, Ford, and Mopars - only one had a six cylinder - all the rest were V-8, rear wheel drive. I had a bumper sticker on one car that said: "Suckin' gas and haulin' ass"

Have owned 2 fifth generation Elkys
Presently a 1960 Elky project (and I mean Project)

Current Ride is a 2000 GMC Sierra - 2WD, Posi, V8 Stepside - actually purchased it new - I must be getting older . . .

19 in exactly one month. 4 cars already.. (****, its not my fault i swear) first ever car... 70.5 split bumper camaro fire red 327 built w/ 4spd traction bars the whole 9... sold it when i got done at age 17. had a cherry 73 elcamino seen on elcaminostore.com... its the light blue 73 with fatty cragers and skinnys up front (RIP sean grey) that car is no longer with us. then i purchased a 97 pontiac gtp and am an avid member of clubgp. cars pb is 13.97 with a 1.867 60' . its my daily driver and sleeper :) the 78 elcamino is my latest buy had for about 4-6 months now and is coming along real nice. pb is 14.8 with a 2.106 60' all motor. nitrous is on now, dunno what she'll do. so. i feel old already with 2 complete restos done and going for the 3rd. i love driving the el camino to work now and then and takin chicks to lunch and they're like, wow i love old cars, then i point out there isny any window cranks and point to the vise grips. then they ask wheres the grand prix at today :-P real men appreciate the good things, but we all must admit, getting into a car with power everything and gets good gas mileage (20 city 29-31 freeway) is nice every now and then. i need to get the blower on the elc so i can claim "supercharged vehicles only" in my driveway :-D

I dont want to speak of age, it doesnt matter. You grow old, hopefully enjoy Your life, wife and cars, Feel Pain and hurt from laughter! the only game is to stay awake long enough to enjoy a lil foray! age is like a river, day by day it moves and grows older with the moonlight, but in the end when You wake up with the sun in Your eyes and stare out side its anew day shining bright just to show You the right, wrong and all the missrable mistakes You can make if You dont live life the way You want to!!!! the secret Iv'e found along long time ago is to just try to enjoy every moment You have weather hard times or good times and make the best out of nothing if need be. when you thank of it You are never out of school, for a person that does not learn is not alive make model and delivery date 1932 may 17th at 06:47 pm

I was 30 years old when my 77 elky was made. I was 14 and bought a 37 chevy coupe in pieces. I wish I still had it!

I was older, for awhile, but now that I'm 56, I seem much younger. Did that make sense?

Muscle cars forever!

Margoelky

but now that I'm 56, I seem much younger. Did that make sense? Rock on! We may have to get older, but we never have to grow up! Personally, I refuse to! (ask the wife).

I'm an '87 and my car is older than I am
(Look at the name...Thats my car)

I like the saying" Men are just boys in big boy suits". 8)

Born in late '71 and my car is a '72 so it was probably born around the same time I was.

Hey Springer,

I loved that bit of drag racing history! That was real neat thanks!

In 1963 I was only 11 but reading everything I could about hot rods! I would go out to Fremont Raceway hear in Northern California in the 60's to watch them race. Wow...1963 racing a Chevy 409 at Pomona along with the great names of the 60's! How cool is that! I tip my hat to you!

Dave

I'll be 45 in June of this year. Happily married for 16 1/2 years with one 10 yr. old, El Camino lovin' daughter. If I could just get her mom to give a damn about it. :(

Skip is a mere lad of 54, first car was a 59 Ford lol, My baby was my 55 Chevy. Stared out with a 265 power pack, blew that up. Went to a 327, blew that up. But the best running motor of was a 348, I put in it. My dad sold it, while I was in the army!

I guess it's time to bring this one back to before it gets ask again.
