I can understand where your coming from Al. I plan on keeping my Aspen forever. I wouldn't say it is the car that I am loyal to though. I got my Aspen from my parents for my 15th birthday 9 years ago this March. It was a low option slant six rust free 2 door car that we found for $200. My Dad and I have spent MANY hours together working on our cars. Growing up, every Saturday night in the summer after work, we would go into the shop and tune his 1980 W-30 oldsmobile that he had built a 488ci. stroker for. We had a "veracom" (similar to the more modern G-Tech computers) that we would hang off the windshield, and then head outside of town and do some test runs, making the car faster over time (we didn't have a close by drag strip.) After playing with the car, we would head over to McDonalds, and share a 20 pack of chicken nugets!
Dad still has that car, he bought it as a driver in 1987, the year I was born. It is a special car to me because of the time we have spent in it. Sadly, I think he may sell it, as we just don't use the car anymore.When the Aspen came along, Dad had kept a 1970 340 that he had taken out of a 71 duster in circa 1978. He had planned to build it for his son's car some day. Talk about planning ahead. LOL. We have spent countless hours together building, and tuning the Aspen together. So much so, it isn't together all that often. haha, we are always trying new things. The car has had 3 different combo's in it in the time that I have had it, and we are slowly picking away at a R3 big inch for it. For now the W2 434ci. 318 based engine is keeping a smile on our faces when we take the car out.
An earlier picture of the car with the 340...

full exhaust, 3.23 gear, tight converter...

about 4 years, I answered a RJ add from louisiana. the add said Herb McCandless had owned it. Me and my wife drove like secret spies to Baton rouge. I bought it drove like a nutcase all the way home. A couple of months later I was at the Carlile show and ran into Mr McCandless.He was giving a presentation on the new Hemi and afterwards I him asked the question. first he said no he did not own a sport satelight/ but then said O yes that was my brother in laws, he bought that at a auction. He then said he did the sheet metal work in the floor and trunk. Thats good enough for me. I don't know how long the car was a race car. It use to be solid red

Bought this in 76.Bought it when nobody else wanted it durring the gas crisis. Original R code 4 spd. 4.10 car with leather guts, two tag car,all #'s match. Last painted in 78 because someone poured brake fluid all over it at a bar one night. Met my wife in it, got married in it, both my kids grew up in the back seat.
Like it's owner, it's starting to show it's age, so it's getting a rotiserie resto.Was a race car when new, repossesed twice before I got it.Today it has less than 50K on it. All the sheet metal,trim & the untouched interior is from 1970.The trophys are from class wins in 70 & 71 as a race car.

Re: How Long Have you owned Your Car ?? - 01/17/11 12:46 AM
Bought mine in 1993 while at my parents house for Thanksgiving. I took a little drive and found it sitting next to a farmers barn. It was being used as a storage unit for his dogfood!
Cost me $275 and was a /6 3 on the tree.
Not a full on drag effort but more of a steet/strip/cruiser.
Now a 440/727/8 3/4 w 3.55's.
Replaced hood, both fenders, drivers door, K-frame and rearend.

I've only had mine for a little over 9 years. Bought it off e-bay after the "winning" bidder looked at it and realized it was more work than he had anticipated. I thank him for passing on my 60K original mileage, 0 rust California car. Best starting platform I have ever seen.

I`ve had my dart since about 1994 I think( )and two small- blocks and a big-block later, here it is in it`s same faded crappy paint. Went from mid 14`s to a high 9-second pass, has thousands of street miles and hundreds of passes and is still a blast to race and street drive.

I've had my car since 1989. Street drove it for a year with a beater 400 4bbl in it, ran 13.01 with it.
Did a back half on it and completed it in 91 and have had a blast since then. Street drove it and raced it for awhile, now mostly a race car because of the new motor and 14-1 comp. 500 cu motor and runs 10.18.

This road runner was my mother's car since July 1968 and is now mine.
I drove it off the lot the day my Dad bought it for her. I was racing Chevies at the time, and I hauled a lot of broken Chevy parts to the machine shop in the trunk!
