Re: What was your first car????
 

1962 Corvair. 4 speed/110hp. Got it for $200.00 and loaded 3 friends in it - took off for college! Never won a race, but made a lot of memories in it!

Re: What was your first car????
 

Well I figured I would post in this thread. I had many cars from when I was 13-16 but I don't count them since I never drove them further than around the block. Here are 3 of the cars I drove throughout high school. My black 67 Chevelle Malibu (that I still have) pictured in the center. I put a 355, 4 speed, and a 12 bolt in it in high school with an NOS powershot setup on it and ruled the streets. My daily driver was the green 4 door 66 Chevelle on the right side of the pic bought it wrecked sitting in a grage since 1974 with 76K on it, fixed it and drove the hell out of it. The green 72 4 door on the left I bought for $400 and it came from Georgia and I drove that on occasion and gave it to my sister to drive during her high school years. It had 350, 4 bbl, turbo 350, 12 bolt, F41, a/c, tilt, sport wheel, power everything and discs. The other black 67 and the blue Buick are my friends cars. The rather dark picture of the 2 cars on the street is me in the Chevelle vs my friends 66 SBC powered Buick on spray pictured above on 84th street in Philly. My last good daily driver was a 1990 Mustang 5.0 hatch with the desired black black color combo. Bought it for $1000 in 2002 and drove it until 2006 racking up almost 285K miles. It went 14.0's all day and took a real hard 4 years of a beating before I sold it.

My dad had one of these when I was 7 or 8, a brown '76. We called it the "Crapi". Then he bought a brand new '82 Capri (same platform as the Mustang)...dark blue with white interior. My first ride was a blue/blue '79 with the horrible German V6. Lord I loved that thing...here's a pic of the last Capri I owned.

The car I drove the most as a 17 year old was the 1974 GTO, Bucaneer Red with matching interior, rubber mat (not fancy carpet here), floor shift auto on the floor and a 12" steering wheel, she had a warmed over 350, Holley high-rise intake and 4bbl carb and a shift kit. Mine never looked this good, but here is a good shot of a stock appearing car.

I don't care if I get laughed at anymore. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

I was flipping cars by the age of 18 so I couldn't pass on this 67 Caddy Vert for $500.00 ! Everyone made fun of me until they saw me turn the rear tire into a gob of melted rubber with a spark throwing steel belt. I think that alcohol may have been involved. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Pulled over on a snowy New Years Eve , the officer told the rear passengers to "get off the balcony". The car could hold 9 0r 10 with the top down. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Cool Caddy Chris - did you carry the VW in the trunk?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: What was your first car????
 

The Caddy reminds me of the movie "License To Drive" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif I used to have a 68 Caddy I bought from an old Drag Racer friend, It was bright yellow, so I painted some multi colored flames on it.
