54. 1969 Chevy Nova, bought in '93
Had 60K miles on it, needed paint but went 102mph without blinking. We partially rebuilt the engine and painted it the original Chevy orange. Good first car, heavily armored. :D

I took it to a garage once - can't remember why - and the kid who saw it first said "We'll hook it up to the computer and find out what's wrong with it in no time". Before I could stop laughing, one of the oldtimer mechanics came by and explained to the kid that cars with computers were a somewhat recent development. :rofl:

Then the oldtimer helped the kid fix my car.
