First car I purchased was a 1998 Trans Am. 6-speed, bolt-ons, 12.8@112 on bald street tires

POS '68 VW Bug. Parked it in the garage, Tore it apart. Dropped it. New interior. New VW bus tranny with hardened gears. Built the 2100cc w/ Weber 48IDA dual carbs in my room at my parents house. My friends brother did all the Body and Paint. Porsche 911 wheels. Came out sick!! We used to call it the Vag Wagon!

Drove my Mom's car as a junior in high school. A galaxy X cop car - 351C/4V/C6/9 in. Bench seat with column shift. Robin egg blue outside - black interrior. Awesome running car - looked stupid.....

First car I owned was as a senior (1979) - 67 Dart GT 273/4V/727 TF. Red outside with black inside - but buckets and console this time.

dad bought it for me in 1979 when my mom was pregnant, hoping she was having a boy to give the car to. i think he paid $50 and bought it out of a field, got it started and drove it home with no brakes, sitting on a milk crate. he "officially" gave it to me on my 12th birthday, in all it's sitting for over 20 years broken glass no interior crappy paint glory

This is a fun thread.

First Car was a 67 Camaro. 327 2bl. 3 on the Tree.<---only one I every saw.
I bought it from my girlfriends father at 15. It cost $500 and had 62k miles on it. 7 months later I turned 16.

2 weeks after birthday 16, I was racing a 70 Mustang 351. It was fun until we crossed through a intersection. We both got totaled by a drunk driver running a red light. Her father was REALLY pissed. The same year bought a 68 RS Camaro 327. It didn't run but only had to pay $50 for it. Drove it till 18. Sold it and bought a 69 SS Camaro for $975.00. Sold it to go to College.

my first was an '81 camaro berlinetta, willed to me by my grandma, got it when i was 14 (back in like '95). it only had the v6, but i drove the hell out of it. had all kinds of crazy plans for it, then i started tearing into it and realized the only unrotted metal on it was the trunk lid, the roof, and the hood, and it'd be cheaper and easier to start on something a little less rusted out. primer black paintjob, black nascar wheels, gutted interior. good stuff. wish i still had it sometimes, mostly just sentimental.

My first was an '88 Ex-State Caprice. That car was a blast. Till some idiot ran into the back of it .

The first car I bought was a 1962 Impala 4dr sedan for $300 dollars. About the only thing that was good about that car was that the body was completely solid. I ended up selling it when I found my '56, still kind of wish I could have kept it though.
