OT - My first car

Tjcoley

Rather than hijack the XXL BGE thread that is just starting to go down this path, thought I'd start a new thread. Mine was a 1964 Chevy Belair, that I bought from my uncle in in 1975 for $1. Only had 40,000 miles on it, and I drove it for 7 more years. Standard transmission, three on the tree.

Not my first car, but had a '59, with a 6 and automatic, Tudor in Canada, paid $75 for it and drove it two years. Called her "Mother". Body was so bad I lost a gallon milk jug (full) through the floorboard of the back seat....Good times.

First car was 1960 Renault Caravelle, three speed standard with a whopping 40 BHP. $300 off a used car lot in '66.

My first car was a 1968 Triumph TR 250 for $1300 that I bought in 1974.
Chick magnet to the max!

RRP

1953 Henry J bought it when I was 15 for $50 and sold it when I turned 16 for $125 and I thought I was a financial whiz!

Fouker187

'71 Mustang, got it from my cousin.  Drove it for 2 years, wrecked it and sold for 500 more than I bought it for.

First used car was a 1960 Chevy Belair bought in 1969 from my uncle for $100.  First new car was a 1971 Triumph TR6, the most fun car I've ever owned.

Jeremiah

Dirt track race car. I was 14. My parents had to sign consent.
It was awesome, I made a deal with my dad that if I could earn enough money cutting grass to cover 1/2 he would cover the other 1/2. Needless to say he was a bit surprised when I plunked down my cash on the table.

Bustersdad

69 Grand Maquis...

64 Plymouth Fury III push button bought it for $100 and sold it one year later for $100. The only car I ever broke even on. Then got my dream car in 1976 for $700, 1967 Plymouth Barracuda fastback, 273 hi performance, 4 barrel, dual point distributor, headers, thrush side pipes...I wish I still had that car.

70 Chevy Nova bought in 97 for $600.  Drove it full time till about 2003 then drove it part time till about 2007 been sitting since. Brother just picked it up yesterday to give to my nephew. Wife cried I'll miss it but don't really care.

Gogogordy

1966 VW Squareback (their little station wagon....Im like that) purchased in 1975 for 600 bones. Back in the good old, simple air cooled, carbureted, points-n-condensors days.

72 Datsun B-210. All my friends had hot rods but mine ran all the time. 50 mpg.. In two years I never changed the oil, just added. Wrapped it around a telephone pole. Sober. It had so many repairs we called it the "bondo buggy".

HAHAHA Me to! Figured since I was adding a quart every other week or so there was no need to change it out.

GreenhawK

1968 Mustang 6cyl when I was 15 in 1993.  I still own the car, but it has a 500hp 351W in it now.  I also had to change out everything underneath to handle the V8.

75 Malibu Classic Chevelle (said so in the grill) that my parents gave me when I turned 16.  Most recent old car I've had was a '65 Cadillac Coupe Deville.  Loved it!  18.5 feet long!  Homies called me the Harbor Master because I was driving such a big boat!  Body was great but interior looked like a grenade went off in it.  Sold it in 2008 because I was spending all my restoration money on my motorcycles and taking them to the race track.  Wish I had it back now though

57 Oval Window VW Bug..got it at 16 in 1987. It was in 90 to 95% condition...then I totaled

1972 ford f100 long bed metallic brown with west coast mirrors bought in 1993 for $1200

1975 Ford Maverick.  Like the Millenium Falcon, it was a fast hunk of crap.

BigSteve

91 convertible Camaro bought in 96. Way to fast and flashy for a 16 year old who lives in a speed trap of a town. Had it several years the sold it to @travistrick 's cousin and it was wrecked shortly thereafter.

Bayarad

1974 Plymouth Satellite paid $1400 in 1979. Beautiful body but was a gas sucking pig! Only had a small-block 318 c.i. But I loved that car for my high school years!

1954 Chrysler Windsor, 4 door with fluid drive.  Some won't know what fluid drive is.  Ha!

Elmer Fudd

Don't know the year but an AMC Hornet got it in 1979. Total POS, but a car my parents left with me when they moved from MN to FL. Oh, it had Chevy Supersport hubcaps......... Ugly!
