What was your first car????

[beater68427]

I always find this interesting, Usually people in the Muscle Car scene found thier love for them by the first ride they had, This is mine a 1971 R/T Challenger tripple green 383 mag 355 gears, I grew up in Topeka Kansas and got this car for my 14th birthday, you got your license at 14 back then http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif I really could not imagine that now... I spent alot of time street racing and crusing Topeka Blvd in that, never the fastest but sure went through tires, Lets see some first ride pics or first love I should say.

[Chris_69_SS]

65 Falcon, 2 door post. poverty caps, bench and column shift. It had a 289 in it and that thing would scream!

[1970Bluel78]

1960 VW bug with a badly running engine. SO I put headers and a 2bbl on her and had a worse running engine. ( Start of Hot Rod Disease ). Fixed here evntually

[gb70]

1980 VW Rabbit. Got it at 16 years old. Savings from my paper route. Figured out that was stupid so I then got a '70 Barracuda from the original owner.

[markinnaples]

76 Camaro Rally Sport with a dog of a 305 auto. Not the quickest by any means, but it was a blast with the Hurst Hatch T-Tops. I thought I was the shiite back then, lol.

[Hawkeye]

1966 Chevy II with original 283, factory 4 barrell (220 HP), powerglide, posi rear and POP. Purchased from original owner in 1989. I wish I still had it.

[padave]

73 Camaro 350 2bl auto. Got it right before graduation in 1976. Great memories wish I had it back.

[MikeA]

1972 Nova SS (still have it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

[Mr. Chevy]

1969 Chevy Nova originally a 307 NON SS car. I bought the car when I was 15. Yes, I did go out and drive it once before I officially had my license which was very stupid!! Especially what I did to the car, 327 motor punched 30 over, mildy built w/Edelbrock Performer Cam, Performer intake, Holley 600, Blackjack Headers thru Sonic Turbo Mufflers.. Also had a turbo 350 trans with a big ole' Hurst Indy Floor Shifter.

Everyone thought it was a 4 speed.. That tranny was awesome. I put a B&M shift kit in it and it would always chirp the tires from 1st to 2nd gear no matter how hard you were on it. If you were really hard on it, it would break the tires loose and lay a nice stretch of rubber..

I later put a Nitrous Power Shot system on it which really woke it up and installed 4:11 gears... The car screamed at this point!! I did a lot of street racing in high school with it. My buddy had a 72 Plymouth Scamp with a built 360 and Nitrous. He and I had the fastest cars in our high school at the time, hands down!!

Car ran in the 12s depending on traction. Here are some pictures of her.. She wasn't real pretty but I was a teenage kid, I didn't care I just wanted to go fast and make lots of noise!! She is no longer, I pulled the motor and trans about 9 years ago and sold the shell. The body and floors were rough on the car. It had always been up north and seen some winters... What a fun car though!!

[danachevroletfor1967]

1965 Dodge Coronet with a 318. Light blue exterior and blue interior. Wish I still had it.

1969 Plymouth Satellite...only a 318 automatic...I had it ten days when someone hit me and took off...this was on August 21st 89...and looking at paperwork that came with the car....the car was purchased August 22 1969.

[beater68427]

I will ad my second love, I really liked this one, the Challenger was lost due to me moving out of my dads house and with my mom, (nothing like using a tool on your kid) I tried to buy my Challenger back from the guy who had purchased it, when I pulled into his driveway it was about 4 feet shorter than it use to be, seems he was Drag racing on Topeka Blvd and a car pulled out in front of him. So I found this

http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r194/3kidsnotime/scan0011.jpg

[TimG]

1972 orange/black 442 with an automatic, bucket seats and orange SSII wheels. This was in 1972 and I shared the car with my mom. When I left for college, I ended up with the car my sophomore year. Of course, I put cherry bomb mufflers on it.

[Xplantdad]

1972 Nova bought in 1978...originally a 6 banger and powerglide. Went the 402 big block and Turbo trans route...sold it to the kid across the street who the first day he had it...almost wrapped it around a pole in front of the high school.

The emblems and SS rear panel came from Eddie Hopper and Cone Chevrolet's parts inventory. I had to look long and hard to find the rear panel.

The 12 bolt rear came from a 1969 Z28 that was one of my mechanic friends when I worked at Hardin Olds...whose son DID wrap the fathom green Z28 around a pole http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif


Pictures were taken at the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals West (at the same show as Nova Joe's way cool Nova was at. Notice the Street Machine Nationals West sticker on the wing vent). 'My car' wanted to be 'his car' when it grew up! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

1981 Custom Deluxe C-10 truck. 305 auto. It was a very nice truck, and I sold it at 17 to get the 99 Camaro SS in my sig. I see my truck from time to time. It has been rolled over on its side, vent windows knocked out, door mirrors ripped off, the 305 was grenaded, the rallyes that were on it were sold, and all of the AC vents and speakers were cut out of the dash with a sawzall!!! I was like why????

[clopo]

My wife and I bought a 69 RS/Z-28 Hugger orange with Black Houndstooth for 1800.00. She drove it to work every day and I would street race it on weekends and tear the hell out of it. Sold it 2 years later for 2000.00 and thought that was easy I am going to do this some more. And so the journey started or a nightmare as she likes to call it.

1972 Buick Skylark, 350 4 barrel, Gold/black vinyl top. Parents bought it new and I acquired it in high school. So many memories.

Even came with an extra pair of SS wheels (same date code as what was on the car) with Firestone Town and Country snows mounted on them.

[Dog427435]

There were no Camaro's or Chevelle's when I got my first car. Me and my friend Kenny bought a '55 Ford when we were in 7th grade.
Primed it flat black with a $9.99 paint gun - buckets, console and vacuum gauge from a late model Grand Prix and '60 Dodge taillights.
Solid welded in a 430 Lincoln mated to a 3 speed, pulled off the front bumper and cranked in a half dozen spring blocks and terrorized
the back roads late at night for weeks till we blew it up!
Gave it to the local high school shop class.
Moved on to a white/white '57 Chevy convertible with a red gut. Hate to tell you what happened to that!!

My first car was a 1970 Mercury Montego MX. It was my granfathers car.302 and a c4trans. My twin brother and I had to share it. If we both were doing things we would drive are mothers 1970 Buick Electra 225. Later my brother bought him self a 1976 Cutlass. I gave him some money for his Half of the Mercury. I installed a cam heads headers in the Mercury for the fist time. The cam was 500 lift so with a stock gear it wasn't much from stop but on a roll it ran pretty good. The funny thing is we always wanted to moms Buick when we had a street race. I know it sounds funny But this was originally my dads fathers car. So it was always has been in the family also. My brother and I were known for racing it. I remember racing alot of different cars in that car from a 70 sport fury to a kid with a 67 mustang 289 fastback. That kid came up to the Texaco Station I worked at with open headers Saying I'm tired of hearing about that Buick. I raced him Three times on the frontage road and beat him all 3 time he was mad. You think about the things you did and realize you got away with allot http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Well Back to the Mercury after 5 c4 trans missions I had enough I sold the Mercury bought a 1979 Trans Am Smokey and the Bandit Black Even had a CB in it.

This sweet thing right here.... a '77 Vette.

I mean 1977 Chevette. Not the regular ol' puny 1.4L 4-cylinder, but the RALLY Chevette. It was 1.6L of pure raw power. I had the cheap $20 power booster amp for the radio, speakers tossed in the hatch, genuine imitation fuzzy sheepskin seat covers, and real 4-lug Cragar S/S rims with 50-series tires in the back and 60-series in the front.

1. My Dad represented Pioneer, so I had 3 way 6x9s in the rear, 6" door mounts, dash mounted tweeters, EQ with lights and 3 amps. Great stereo, but before the advent of the subwoofer.
If i played Rush loud,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Geddy made your ears melt.....but no distortion. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

2. Magnetic police cherry with cigarette lighter cord...
Perfect for this car as they used Volares and Aspens for cop cars.......everyone loved it ...except the Cops who busted us and took it away.
When we weren't pulling people over or nailing people making out, I used to come up to parties and do a 180 with the lights on and watch everyone scatter http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

My first was a 1974 Vega GT. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif My mother overheard my uncle asking another uncle if he could buy the seats out of the old Vega parked on the side of the house.
My mother inquired if the car ran, it did and she gave him $300 bucks and I was riding. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
I was only able to keep it running for 6 months as it was on it's last leg way before I got it.
My dad had a 1969 Kingswood Estate Wagon he was trying to sell, I begged and pleaded to buy it to use the powertrain, but he said no. Turned out a guy interested in buying heard me complaining about wanting the engine and trans and threw in a 350/350 drive train he had with nothing to put it in.

[mmcporter]

My first buy was a '78 Chevy Malibu Classic Landau Coupe with a 350 4 barrel purchased from the original owner's daughter. The owner was elderly, so the car was in good shape. It had oxidized silver paint, grey landau roof and the red custom cloth interior complete with the plastic that turned from red to purple with sun exposure. The car had super cold A/C, gauges (most of which worked, 'cept the clock of course-it was correct twice per day). The car ran pretty good for its time and sounded extra mean with the aircleaner on the 350 inverted! It was perfect for cruising with your left arm resting on the top of the heavily-padded door panel.

I bought the car for extra cheap with a rod knock, which turned out to be an errant heat riser valve - replaced the valve and the car ran like new. Deciding to pop for "cool white letter radials" from the local warehouse club turned out to be a bad idea for the winter, when the combo of a light rear end, no traction and V8 torque forced me to abandon the car at the bottom of the hill we lived on. I added a dual exhaust and the catalytic converter "disappeared" at that time. The car was a bit of a letdown compared to the other two cars I really wanted but my dad wouldn't allow me to buy: a rusty 1970 Chevelle SS454 4 speed in gold (don't remember whether it was an LS5 or LS6) and the bondo-bucket medium blue 1968 Mustang 302 hardtop coupe. Yeah, and the medium blue with white vinyl roof 1970 Buick GS455 Stage 1 in the next neighborhood was out of the question as well - boy, what a great test drive, though! I almost side-swipped an entire row of parked cars during that test drive....

I got my share of tickets and minor fender-benders in the tamer Malibu anyway. And the car laid rubber (the car had a posi, a fact I repeated to anyone willing to listen back then). While not the fastest car back then, it beat many a Maverick, Vega, Duster and Datsun B210 in street contests. And it scored a draw against my buddy's '68 Coronet 440 with a 318! Of course I added a Pioneer Supertuner and a pair of Jensen coaxial 6X9 speakers in the rear deck. My two younger brothers each ended up having their time with the car, and I eventually sold it with a seized motor, "Lawrence of Arabia" drooping headliner and a cheap voke-school repaint job in gray while my youngest brother was at Purdue. My dad wanted it gone from his front lawn and was going to have it hauled away by the local junk yard. I got $560 in the end for it, along with the countless memories of cruising in it.

Damn, when will you kids learn to read? This thread asks about "Your first CAR". Yes I had a few horses, and before that I rode dinosaurs and even had a really nice, sporty Flintstone cart with square wheels. (Rounding those suckers off greatly improved the ride and handling characteristics.)

Girlfriend's dad owned a car repair business and serviced a car that was owned by a older lady that was retiring from teaching. This lady told my girlfriend's dad she was retiring and going to sell her car. I was made aware of this and went over to look at the car in her garage. Fell in love with it, offered $250 and it became mine. Original one owner car that still had plastic on the seatcovers. This was back in the late 60s. A "barn find" before the word was ever created.

First car I owned was a 1969 Camaro Z28; I never drove the car as I got impatient and sold it. Second car; another one I never drove was a 1969 Camaro RS.

1969 Chevy Impala, 2 door,327/ 4 bbl-powerglide and ice cold A/C.

Installed dual exhaust. Boy was that thing a chick magnet....NOT!!!!

I bought it from the original owner with 60K or so miles. It took me over a week, to clean the interior trim from the nicotine stains. The trim looked like it had yellow trim, instead of chrome from all of the smoking.

Looked pretty good once I finished with it. Drove it for over a year and sold it for more than I paid. Great cruiser!

Went to the drive-in and snuck 4 buddies in the trunk, along with six other people inside. The car was basically bottomed out and I still remember the noise of the car scaping when I drove over a small bump.

I've got picture somewhere, just need to dig them up.

Was pressing my luck with ditching cops and avoiding head on's, so Sold the T/A and Z and went to Jim Russell racing school. The "kid" I sold the T/A to totalled it a week after I sold it,the Camaro met the same fate with it's new owner about four months after. Photo spring of 78.

[Canuck]

I bought a 68 Camaro in Aug 1971 for $1850.00 from Hickman Motors in St. John's Newfoundland. I began my working career in January 1971 and had student loans so the purchase of a car was put off until the loans were repaid and I could get some credit. What attracted me to the car was the color combo,Corvette Bronze with Black and Houndstooth deluxe interior. The car was manual steering and brakes,but had the 275/327 and a powerglide, My job required a lot of driving and I averaged 700 miles a week over the next 18 months racking up 50,000 miles.
When I bought it,it had 39,000 miles and was still on Warranty. the day I was supposed to pick it up the saleman phoned and said the engine was bad and asked if I still wanted the car. My dad convinced me that since it was going to be rebuilt under warranty I would be benefiting from a used car with a fresh engine.
Not only used as a daily driver for business,the car was under constant modification. First the goodyear Polyglass F70-14 whitewalls and soon followed by Keystone Mags. The following spring Headers were added along with a Holly Carb. I used to drag race it on the weekends between May and September,so the car got quite a workout. In the fall of 72 I swapped the PG for a TH400 out of a wrecked cop car. I could not keep Ujoints in the car after that. With 90,000 miles on the clock I sold it in Mar 73 for $1650.00 and bought a brand new Duster 340. About a year later I spotted it on a AMC dealers lot,looking very tired with an asking price of $650.00. I asked a fellow who worked there what the bottom line was and he said I could have it for $400.00. I almost bought it back.
I am now in a search for a 68 Camaro,painted Corvette Bronze with the Black/Houndstooth deluxe Interior. It has to be that color and all other engine combos and equipment will be considered.

I then bought a used 1966 Buick Skylark with the 340ci.

I have the GM build sheets for all 6 1988 1LE f bodies ...

assuming it is a 305 (They didn't allow auto trans cars back then I recall), I will have to say that it was delivered to Sutliff Chevrolet in Harrisburg PA because the other 3 Camaros were L98's, and my friend Mike Marsh bought the black L98 the was delivered to Stewart Chevrolet in Colma CA ... the two Pontiacs WERE LB9's

actually I thought SCCA banned the 1LE, maybe they were legal for 1988, but they were not for 89 and later ... I owned Brian Simos black 89 No Fear IROC that Boris Said drove at the 89 Runoffs ...

Well I figured I would post in this thread. I had many cars from when I was 13-16 but I don't count them since I never drove them further than around the block. Here are 3 of the cars I drove throughout high school. My black 67 Chevelle Malibu (that I still have) pictured in the center. I put a 355, 4 speed, and a 12 bolt in it in high school with an NOS powershot setup on it and ruled the streets. My daily driver was the green 4 door 66 Chevelle on the right side of the pic bought it wrecked sitting in a grage since 1974 with 76K on it, fixed it and drove the hell out of it. The green 72 4 door on the left I bought for $400 and it came from Georgia and I drove that on occasion and gave it to my sister to drive during her high school years. It had 350, 4 bbl, turbo 350, 12 bolt, F41, a/c, tilt, sport wheel, power everything and discs. The other black 67 and the blue Buick are my friends cars. The rather dark picture of the 2 cars on the street is me in the Chevelle vs my friends 66 SBC powered Buick on spray pictured above on 84th street in Philly. My last good daily driver was a 1990 Mustang 5.0 hatch with the desired black black color combo. Bought it for $1000 in 2002 and drove it until 2006 racking up almost 285K miles. It went 14.0's all day and took a real hard 4 years of a beating before I sold it.

My dad had one of these when I was 7 or 8, a brown '76. We called it the "Crapi". Then he bought a brand new '82 Capri (same platform as the Mustang)...dark blue with white interior. My first ride was a blue/blue '79 with the horrible German V6. Lord I loved that thing...here's a pic of the last Capri I owned.

The car I drove the most as a 17 year old was the 1974 GTO, Bucaneer Red with matching interior, rubber mat (not fancy carpet here), floor shift auto on the floor and a 12" steering wheel, she had a warmed over 350, Holley high-rise intake and 4bbl carb and a shift kit. Mine never looked this good, but here is a good shot of a stock appearing car.

I was flipping cars by the age of 18 so I couldn't pass on this 67 Caddy Vert for $500.00 ! Everyone made fun of me until they saw me turn the rear tire into a gob of melted rubber with a spark throwing steel belt. I think that alcohol may have been involved. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

Pulled over on a snowy New Years Eve , the officer told the rear passengers to "get off the balcony". The car could hold 9 0r 10 with the top down. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

The Caddy reminds me of the movie "License To Drive" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I used to have a 68 Caddy I bought from an old Drag Racer friend, It was bright yellow, so I painted some multi colored flames on it.

[Rixls6]

My first car (65 Mustang 2+2)after it had morphed several times. Picture was taken in front of my girlfriends house (now wife) in 77 or 78. I bought it in 1970 while a junior in high school.

Originally a 289 with 3 speed, but was a Boss 302 with toploader and a 9" out of a Boss 429 car running 5.13 gears.
The rear end was bought at Jim's World of Speed after I saw it on the floor for sale.

World of Speed sticker on the vent window.

[TMagda]

1975, 16 years old working at the car wash when a Cortez Silver 1969 Z/28 drives by with for sale signs in the windows. Jumped on my bike, chased it to the next intersection, got the phone # and bought it the next weekend for $1600. I had been working the car wash for 2 years prior to this to save the money for when the right car came along. I have some pictures somewhere that I should scan.

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

Rick,
I too bought a few things from Jim's World of Speed way back when.Bought more for my 4x4 truck than anything.

[wagonman]

Late BrakeU2,

Thank you! I have sent the plates out a few weeks ago to be restored.

The car is currently being painted black.

And yes, A trailor hitch is going to be installed.

Made a couple changes to the motor &amp; it suprised a few people! It was the old family car I learned to drive in.
My parents bought it new in Germany &amp; gave it to me when I got my liscense, about 1982-83!

[EDGEFIND]

When I was 14, my dad helped me purchase a 1971 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus with a simple 318. By the time I was old enough to drive it, I saved up enough cash to get a cheap paint job, Roadrunner hood and some stickers to make it look like a Roadrunner. Unfortunately, over the years, I was away and it took a bad beating from the elements but I still have it. I just recently towed it into my garage and will hopefully start working on it soon.

This is the only pic I have uploaded at the moment. The Challenger was my dad's which my mom gave to me when he passed away 8 years ago and the rest are of my Satellite. It was a Tawny Brown when I got it and I wanted a subtle color at the time. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with either car at the moment. It just takes time and money and, unfortunately, I usually only have one or the other.

my first car 67 corvette 427/390 4 speed, for sale fall of 72. wanted a 69 Z/28 and got one. dennis

[rockn69]

Mine was a Lemans Blue/black bench 69 Chevelle 350/300 4spd M20 with a 373 in back. I pegged the speedo and tossed several rods onto I-90 near Rockford 6 weeks after getting it in the spring of '73 and then put a new CE block in it. Wish I still had it!

[JK98SS]

First one was a white 70 Camaro with houndstooth, column shift, tilt wheel and more rust than paint. I bought it with paper route money when I was 14. It never saw the road and I sent it to the boneyard after pressure from my dad and step mom back in about 1990.
My first driver was a dark green metallic 1970 LeMans Sport with the Pontiac 350 2bbl, m21 4 speed and 3.23 limited slip.

[ChevyThunder]

1979 Trans Am was my first new car. No A/C no power windows, no radio no T tops and no bird on the hood. Pontiac 400 with a SUper T-10 . Only real option on the car was the WS6 package.... I would love to have this car back

70 Chevelle SS that I bought when I was 15 years old. 396-325 horse M22 and 410 posi with lakewood ladder bars. It sound nice but it wasn't. I wish I had it now.

[68427caprice]

69 Olds Delta 88 2 dr coupe, 455 auto when I was 13 going on 14. My dad bought it new and I got it around 1978. Put quite a few miles on it before I turned 16...
Loved that insta-spin rear end...Could not afford to do that too often. Had 9 or 10 Oldsmobiles since and mostly Chevys besides. Would love to have my original 70-W30 back...

[SUSQ]

I love the $0.10 charge for the spare tire!

[10/10_RS/Z28]

My first was a 1989 Turbo Trans Am we bought at my great uncles Pontiac dealer. My dad planned on keeping it for himself and getting me a GTA that looked just like it. Well, a divorce insued and the biatch tried to take the turbo. I ended up with it so she wouldn't get it. Never and I repeat Never give a 15 year old a car that fast. I street raced that car to no end and traded it with about 80,000 miles worn slam out. Bone stock ran 8.6 in the 1/8 mile @ 96mph wheel hopping the entire track with idle launch. Would love to have it back.
