Re: What was your first car?
1955 Chevy Belair 2 dr hdt, 283, 3 on the floor. Painted Marina Blue in 1971, with a tucked and rolled black interior. Didn't get my first Camaro until 1976-a Gold (orig black) SS350 4 speed car.

Re: What was your first car?
First car was a brand new 70 Hugger Orange Nova. 307 with floor mounted 3 speed. The dual stripe whitewalls and rally wheels lasted about one week before being replaced by Keystone mag wheels. The OEM exhaust went about a week after that, replaced by duals with glasspacks. I had the car only 5 months - too slow. When all your friends are driving muscle cars, a 307 and 3 speed doesn't cut it. It was replaced by a 69 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 with 4 speed.

Re: What was your first car?
I have been swamped at work for the last couple days but I did scan the picture onto a disk although, I left the disk at work. The pictures should be up tomorrow. I will also throw in some pictures of my Dad's original Z-28 which he still owns. It is a Cortez Silver on Black int. with black stripes car. Very original car. He bought the car at the tail end of 1969. His car is a big reason why I had to have a Z. Just wait one more day! GREAT STORIES and CARS!

Re: What was your first car?
I talked a bit in another thread about my first car.
A '56 Chev 2 Dr Post. I bought the car when I was 15 but sold it before I got my license. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] So, The first car I had on the road legaly was a'65 Corvair Corsa.It kind of dropped into my lap. I had to replace so many seals to get the thing to stop leaking oil!! It was fun but no muscle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (wish it was Turbo!) Still have a soft spot for them. Before I found this site I never even heard of a Stinger, so thanks for that! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] |
