My first car when I was 14. A 69 Z11 Pace car with a 1964 327 under the hood. I still remember the engine pad info. Still stuck in my mind after 44 years: F0804HA

And my brother's first Camaro A LOS built 69 SS396. original Daytona Yellow with a 1968 style vinyl top.

Last photo is from the day we were heading off to the 1979 Street Machine Nationals in Indy.

First car was not a GM car, but fun! 1970 Triumph Spitfire. 3rd car was a 69 Camaro X44 327 manual (was Orange) from Virginia
First pic was as bought, then I painted it an unknown red-ish color and added the RS option

Nothing exciting, but mine was a beige 1985 Olds Firenza sedan, in all its 85-horsepower overhead cam fury. First car also became my first wreck after hot dogging it on a gravel road, sliding off the edge of the road and parking it on its roof. No photos of the actual car seem to have survived.

1969 Meteor Montcalm 2 dr ht 302 cid. No frame from the dog legs back. Rear bumper held on with wire to the trunk lid hinges. 105 mph top speed, down hill with a tailwind. House speakers in the back seat.

Not my 1st car, but the 1st car I learned to drive in. A 1966 AMC Ambassador. My folks were willing to give it to me, but I wanted a 1969 Camaro. I eventually got the Garnet red/red 1969 Camaro by working at McDonalds etc. I think it cost me $1400. There's a guy close to me that has a red/red 1969 that I think is my 1st car. I told him to give me 1st crack at it if he sells it. The 1966 AMC Ambassador is really a pretty nice looking car. It had a 327CID engine and reminds me of a 1965 Chevelle. It would be cool to have today and would be a great LS swap car. Here's a pic off the web of what it looked like.

Y'alls first cars were way cooler than mine. I turned 16 in 1992 and my first truck was my Grandmother's 10 year old GMC 1500 regular cab long bed. It only had 32k miles on it when I got it. I begged my parents to let me buy a 1st or 2nd gen Camaro or Trans Am but they weren't having it. So, I got the hand-me-down truck. It was pretty nice but I never stopped wanting a sports or muscle car.

I kept it for 2 years before buying a 1988 300ZX 2 seater automatic that was loaded with every option except for the turbo. I was still under my parents roof so a Camaro was still out of the question. The 300ZX only had about 30k miles on it and it was a great car. I thought it was the coolest with the digital dash and t-tops. Definitely one of the nicest cars in the high school parking lot.

One day, the summer after graduating high school, I was in a neighboring town(Sherman, Tx) and drove past a used car lot with a red '87 IROC Z that I just had to have. It was a 305 TPI automatic with power everything and t-tops. Swapped the 300ZX even for it and didn't even ask my parents. They were not pleased with me. Of course, it ended up being the biggest turd I've ever owned. lol After finally getting fed up with the constant problems that car had, I ended up swapping that even for another low mileage 300ZX 2 seater. This one was a 87 but it was a 5 speed manual, my first manual! Loved that car too.

No pics of the GMC or IROC but here's the first 300ZX. I thought those terrible wheels looked good back then. Uggh. Anyway, like I said, you guys had way cooler first and second cars than me. Makes me wish I had been born about 10-15 years earlier!
