First Car
 

Recently someone asked me to find some old photos, and I ran accross this, my very first car. '72 Vega GT.
Once the dealer (Roger Penske Chev., Southfield MI) replaced the short block (under warranty) and I got somebody to epoxy the screws that held the carb together, it ran and handled pretty good. Then it rusted out around the windshield, and pretty much everywhere else.

Anybody else got an old photo of their first car? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Wow, I remember replacing those short blocks under warranty. I worked for a local dealer and was at the bottom of the totem pole. GM paid a little over 8 hours to put a short block in one of those and I worked flat rate. They stuck me every one of 'em https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif I almost starved to death. Many a week I took home an 85.00 pay check https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Our labor rate was 10.00 per hour and I got 50%. That paid me a little over 40.00 to do that job. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif Damn, now my blood pressure is up!

First car was a fathom green 1970 Z28 T-400. I'll try to scan a picture so I can post it. Boy do I regret selling that car.
