Re: First Car
Hi guys. Newbie here. Thanks for letting me in the clubhouse.
My first car was a '68 Firebird. Purchased from my cousin as a 16 year old in 1974. He rarely drove it and the thing still smelled new when I bought it for the princely sum of $1,600. 4 speed, mild cam. The paint code on the tag said "Special" I hope my photos are attached. Moved up a year later as a 17 year old to a '70 GTO 4 speed convertible. That one I don't have a picture of and wish I did. Everybody has a car they wish they still had and this is it. Standard 400 engine but gobs of power. Great looks, and great ride. I'm not surprised these cars are commanding the prices they are today. Sold it to go to college. A few years ago, I sold my '67 Chevelle SS396 (325 horse) to build my present home. Sorry bowtie guys, The GTO would have run circles around the Chevelle.
Great board guys, glad to be here.
