Let’s see your first car.
 

It was a 350 SS/RS ermine white with black vinyl top and black interior 4 speed with console.I painted it blue and removed the vinyl top. The pic with the black wheels are circa 1973 and the one with Keystones all around is circa 1975. Keystone pic is with a big block 70 402 from my brothers Chevelle. With the big block I ran headers and 456 gears. It was a really good running car. Ripped it n street raced, went through other engines, a 68 Z 302. The big block was my favorite and that’s the reason I chose my present 67 4K.
Show us your first car everyone.

Bought Jan 2, 1989. I was 15 years old. Still have it today.:biggthumpup:

This is the same as my first car in early 1970. 1954 2 dr sedan. It had the 235 with babbit bearings and didn't last very long...3-4 months as I recall.

My first car was a Fathom Green '69 Z with black standard interior, 4.10 gears, AM radio with rear speaker. Also Z21 style trim, N34 wood wheel, and spoilers. It came with a set of headers with the air pump plumbed in but I removed the air pump stuff and put it on the shelf in my parents' garage. I think my parents tossed that stuff because I never saw it again. I kept the car for three years and traded it for a Tahoe Turquoise '67 Z.

Ls6.....

70 Nova, bought new in June 1970. Hugger Orange, black standard interior with rubber floor covering (no carpet), 307, factory floor mounted 3 speed. Picture is at my parents house....you can see window sticker still in the rear quarter window. Within 3 weeks, OEM exhaust was gone replaced by a Midas dual system with glasspacks, and the rally wheels were replaced by some Keystone mags that looked similar to Torq-Thrusts but with dark spokes. Sold it 5 months later because it wasn't fast enough :3gears: The guy I sold it to, his girlfriend rolled it a couple months later and it was fixed but repainted blue. They eventually got married and put over 100K miles on it.

What I REALLY wanted was the Citrus Green 70 Z28/RS on the showroom floor, but the $140/month payments scared me so I bought the Nova with $77/month payments....and proceeded to make double payments every month :stupid:

OMG. That is frikken amazing. We may be cousins in a parallel universe. My first car (Jan 6, 1969; twelve days before I turned 16 and got my license) was a light green 54 two door sedan Chevy. Paid $75 for it. Previous owner blasted through a police barricade, so the hood was concave in the front, and headlight buckets were toast. I had to change out the popsicle sticks and rubber bands that held the headlights in position every two weeks (didn't know how to describe it back then, but today we would say no UV protection on the rubber bands).

Brakes failed. I rebuilt the master in the driveway, but it didn't hold (I am certain it had deep pits in the bore, but at 16, wasn't smart enough to know the difference). I drove it for a month (including taking other kids to school on car pool day) with no brakes other than the hand brake. The last two weeks of that there was not handle on the park brake.... just a pair of vice grips. The kid's parents would have gone into a coma had they known. One of those "kids" is still a very good friend of mine). Drove it til it threw a rod. Actually drove it another 20 miles AFTER it threw a rod. What a wild noise, that broken rod swinging around and hitting the block with each revolution. But it made it home. Sold it for $10. The guy who bought it (he ended up in prison for "chop shop" stuff") hooked a chain to the front bumper to tow it away from my parent's house.... and the front bumper fell off... seriously. Hooked the chain to the frame and drove it off. He sold the AM radio for $10 so considered it a win.

Now, my second car....... really nice 57 Chevy 210 2 door sedan, Tropical Turquoise with white top and side panel. Wish I had never let that one go. Not a fast car by any means, 283 PG, but so many memories. Still have a hard time passing on a nice 210 two door, two tone car, especially if it is tropical turquoise and white. Guess I could settle for black and white.

Were they Keystone Digger mags like these, Bill? Probably looked pretty cool.

I did my best to keep it clean.

Here is my first Car. 1968 Chevelle SS396. Purchased in 1982.
BTW my second Car is also in the pic. 1970 Chevelle LS5 Vert purchased in 1984.

1964 Impala SS Convertible- Lagoon Aqua with matching interior and a white top. 327/300 HP, PS, PB and a Powerglide. Added an 8-Track player and a reverb. Bought it on May 2, 1969 - day before my 18th birthday for $900.

Wow, thanks for the picture....Pretty sure those are the ones! And yeah, I thought they went well with the black side molding and black interior.

My first car 1969 Camaro RS/SS 350 4 speed. Bought in Oct 1979 for $1100.
Original paint back then. I wanted a 1970-72 Chevelle SS but found this first.
Painted it in 1982 and changed stripe color to white, then in 2004 I went through it all over again and put the original IF coded 14x7's back on it. Build sheet was always on the tank but never retrieved it until around 1998 or so.
Still have it today. Its a miracle that it traveled around from storage shed to storage shed with me. Almost sold it numerous times. We have our 42nd Anniversary together in about 3 weeks!! :worship:

56 Nomad with a 327 4-speed, purchased in 77. Daily drove it till about 1988 or so, been parked ever since. Still have it.

Called it Rocky Racoon ...
 

Called it Rocky Racoon - 300 HP 327 ... 4 speed

My ultra rare 69 conv with the 250 6 cyl and PG transmission. It was all I could afford while in college in 1985 and I had the local vo-tech school do quarters and repaint it the original rally green. I liked the look of the Z28 stripes so I had them do that as well.

This picture is my brother with the car from about 1972. I bought the car from him in 1976 and sold it in 1982. I recently found the vin # from the car 8F02C116621 and did a google search on it and found an ad for it from a dealer in Indiana from 2018. Below is the link to the ad I found.

My first car. Bought it from a neighbor in 2003. She was the second owner, owned it since 1972. The car was an original Maroon car 327 2 barrel with a glide and 2.73 gears. When I was 16 nothing was cooler than Lemans Blue, wish I would've kept it Maroon. Now a pretty stout 350 with a Tremec and a Moser 12 bolt. I still own the car.

71 Nova SS, complete with Dents and Rust, but an awesome street racing weapon back in the early 5.0 Mustang, IROC, GN days. 350 4spd 12 bolt, bought from the OO for a snappy $400. I dressed appropriately in my Jams (remember Jams?) and Autometer T shirt. Fun, care free times....

Owned since 1987 and still have it. First summer since I owned it that it was not driven. I need to get the brakes finished so I can get it back on the ground and get it fired up.

First car
 

High school graduation night. Black 1969 RS/Z28. Endura bumper car that was loaded. Me on the right and my brother on the left. I fought to get the headlamp covers to work correctly. Very cool car.

My first car was a 71SS Chevelle 350 2 barrel, 245 hp I bought for $400. I ran the livin daylights out of that car. I ended up parting it out and selling the body to a stock car driver. I still have the protecto plate and 2 build sheets from it. In all the Chevelle's I've owned and seen I've never seen another factory 71SS 350 2 barrel.

Novas started it all

I purchased it from her in 1982 and still have it today. I Pro streeted it in the 80's and raced it until I had kids, then the car was taken apart and left for over 20 years. pictures then and when I first put it back together. It has changed a little more over the years.

My family has bought many a car from Ed James Chevrolet.

You must of had a big paper route or a couple of jobs!!

LOL. I saved every penny back when I was a kid. When all my friends were buying mini-bikes in junior high school and wasting money smoking that reefer in senior high school, I was putting all my pocket change in my savings accounts (back then you get 8+% interest in a savings account!).

Nerdiness pays off sometimes!
