What was your first car???

[Derek69SS]

'69 Chevelle SS396... I bought it for $1000 when I was 12, in 1994 with no engine. I've still never driven it. I've had about 3 different engines I planned on putting in it so far, but haven't done any work on it, as I've been pre-occupied with the '69 Malibu I bought when I was 15.

'86 VW Golf totaled it 8 months later, first hot rod was a '90 IROC with 350, no extras, never lost a race. I would prefer to have my uncle's first car, a new '66 Chevelle, 396, 4 speed. Or my mom's new '68 Camaro, 327, loaded with options.

i actually started out with a 66 chevy shortwide that i put on a shortened 76 3/4 ton 4x4 chassis, had a 383/th400/205 and 4:56's and it ran 16's the one and only time i was talked into drag racing it. the 4x4 was my only form of transportation, but i also had a 63 nova project goin on, it was mini-tubbed, mustang 2 ifs, and a full cage....it got sold as a roller to pay for a set of 40" boggers and bigger lift for the 4x4.

i shoulda kept the nova, but underage drinking and gettin stuck in mud holes tryin to impress chicks was the main past time at that point in my life....... actually...... other than the underage drinkin...my past time is still prettymuch the same

I don't think I had $10 when I was 12. What the hell were you growing on that farm??

69 camaro COPO 427 4 speed





Ok....I am obviously kidding. I was just thinking about the guys who always tell me about the cars they "use" to have and all the rarity it had. Do people hear this much!??!
My first vehicle, 89 chevy LWB 3/4 ton. with 300K + miles. It was one of my dads business vehicles. Wasn't too bad, I was proud at 16.

My first car was a 65 Mustang, 289, auto and was that funky green color. I restored that car all thru high school and sold it when I graduated and bought a brand new 82 Mustang GT, "The Boss is back"

Back in '87 to '90 I had a '75 Malibu, didn't know much about cars then, only that it had a 350 4 bbl. Probably a bit much for a 17 year old during winter, every panel had some sort of damage when I was done with it!

Still ran like a charm though the day it went to the scrapyard.

Oh jeez... bad memories!

My first car was a 1985 Honda civic, manual steering, no AC, manual transmission, brakes comepletely shot, bald cord showing tires and 180K on the odometer... it was a great "snow" car because if i hit a snow bank, it didnt matter
