62 Corvair. IIRC, a 2 speed auto on the dash. Not much power. It would downshift into low on a small hill. | |||

Beat up little shoebox nova a ‘62. High school auto shop teacher used to build small blocks for dirt modifieds. Class project we put a 301 in that little shoebox. Big cam etc it would crank over 7 grand with the headers open. It was ugly but I won senior burnouts with that little beast. | |||

1971 Cougar XR7 with a 351 Cleveland four-barrel V8. Added performance domed pistons, headers and racing cams to get her up to 400 plus HP. I had a guy from Amarillo paint her with 6 coats of a metallic emmeron paint complete with a clearcoat finish. Man I loved that car. ______________________________________________________ "How can the sky be the limit when there are footprints on the moon". - Paul Brandt | |||

1969 Ford Custom ex AZ Highway Patrol Cruiser with a 429 engine that my dad and I bought at a state auction in 1971 for 1,000.00 Of course I wreaked the damn thing in 1972 right before my graduation. That car could move. Scraped it out and then bought a rinkydink 1965 Volkswagen squareback that I drove when I was back home on leave from the Army. Had a 67 Ford Custom that I bought from my Platoon SGT for $500.00 that I drove up at Ft Lewis Wa in the mean time. __________________________ "Para ser libre, un hombre debe tener tres cosas, la tierra, una educacion y un fusil.

1976 Buick LeSabre. That BIG blue steel boat floated down the highway but the rear main seal leak demanded a quart of oil every 20 miles. I had to work 2 and a half hours at my job just to buy the oil to get me to work and back home for the week (bought by the case) but it was my first taste of "freedom". | |||

I didn't have a car until after I graduated. My parents gave me a new '73 Monte Carlo. Since I had a free ride to college, they splurged a little. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. ~Brian O’ Driscoll | |||

Mine was a 1982 Mercedes 240D Had over 300k on it when I got rear ended by an F150 pulling a trailer. Very similar to this one, but a slight off-white  Replaced it with a 300SD until I graduated HS.
My first car in college was a '96 SL2, couldn't kill that car no matter how hard I tried. Abused heavily on an autocross course at least once a month & driven hard. Got t-boned by a Ford Escape & that did it in. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

My brother had an older one, though I don't remember if it was a CB350 or your CB360. Can't recall if the cylinders were vertical or canted forward. In either case, it was a great first vehicle. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Get Off My Lawn |
Yep. Interesting thread because I wished for a number of these fine vehicles pictured when I was a teen. Like you, my father barely let me borrow his station wagon on occasion, so I was mostly on bike or skateboard. My parents drove kinda crappy used cars all of their lives, a Chevy Vega and a problematic Pontiac LeMans station wagon being the dominant ones; kind of sad that the Vega was the nice car. Thank God my parents bought a cheap used Karmann Ghia when the Vega died. After my dad died, my mom sold it for 2.5 times more than they paid for it, so that was nice.

I always wanted to have one of those. What kind of problems did you have with it? Loved the look of these little things!  | |||

I corrected myself, it was a 1973. The CB360 had vertical cylinders. If they were canted, it was only by a tiny bit. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
