57 chevy. 2 door hard top belair. 265 4 bbl powerglide. Was primrose pink with a white top. After a little fender bender had it painted Lemans blue with Mickey Thompsen chrome slots, chrome shackle extensions, and a audio vox reverb box. Still got a project car like this that I need to get to some day. Maybe if you have projects to finish, you'll live forever. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

My first is attached (still can't figure out how to insert a pic). 20 years later I still have it and enough NOS parts to build it twice over. Maybe next summer it'll get done.

57 Chevrolet Belair Post. 66 Corvette Marina Blue with Silver and black interior. 327 with double hump heads and a Duntov 30/30 solid lifter cam shaft and a M-21 4spd. Factory Cast iron Corvette square bore intake and a Holley.
Station wagon rear bumper so I could shave the deck lid except for the Gold V. Duals straight out the back...always too long on the tri-5's... and burnt my calfs way too many times...OUCH!
Sure do miss that car... My dad and I started the project when I was 13...sold it to buy a 71 Camaro. I need to have my head examined!

Re: First Car
 
I bought my first car when I was 15 (living on Clybourn near Fullerton in Chicago)....it was a 55 Chevy 210 2 dr sedan......Beige in color......I paid $15 for it....it was missing the Engine and transmission......The guy I bought it from lived about 6 blocks away........I got all my friends together and we pushed it to my house.....took a couple of hours...LOL......I had a Lincoln-Belmont Booster Paper route and I had saved up a "Wad" ......my dad signed for it as he probably figured I would never have a chance in the world of getting the parts and figuring out how to put it together to make it run again.....But........
One of the older guy's (he was probably 19) in the neighborhood had a 57 Chevy with a 265 and a three speed and he found a used 301 with a 30-30 cam and heavy duty 3 Speed and I helped him swap the engines out right in the alley.....learned a lot that day......He taught me not to be afraid of trying to work on my own stuff, just pay attention to how you take it apart and use common sense in putting it back together as everything we touched has a purpose and someone else had already engineered it out to that point....So.........He gave me his old engine and trans for helping and by my 16th birthday the car was up and running and was my High School car.......Took off the front bumper and primered the front end (remember when primered front ends were the rage)......drove the wheels off that thing for a couple of years .....when I graduated I sold it and bought a New 65 Impala........"BORING"......traded the Impala in on a Marina Blue SS L79 Nova in 66........But......that's another Story.........

1968 Camaro bought used from local Chev dealer in August 1971. It had 39,000 miles and I paid $1600.00. Car had a 327 Powerslide and no PS or Pb but it did have the deluxe Houndstooth Interior. It was mid year "package" with special paint "Corvette Bronz". The dealer mechanic blew the engine on his test drive a hour before i was to pick up the car. Dealer installed a new engine under warranty. I put 50,000 miles on that car over the next 18 months.
