What was your 1st car?

My first car was a Nova also...a brand new Hugger orange 70, 307, floor mounted 3 speed, and rally wheels.

Picture was taken by my dad just after I drove it home from the dealership; note the Monroney sticker still in the rear quarter window. Rally wheels lasted about 2 weeks, replaced by Keystone mags that looked similar to Torq-Thrusts only with darker spokes. OEM exhaust lasted about another 2 weeks, replaced by a set of duals with glasspacks from Midas. Sold the car after 5 months because it wasn't fast enough. Bought an R4 red 69 Dart Swinger 340 with a 4 speed and 3.55 Sure-Grip...had loads of fun with that car!

Rick,

Every vehicle in my life that I have purchased new, I kept all related paperwork...except that one

As best as I can recall, the window sticker was a tad over $2700 and I believe I paid about $2400 plus tax and fees. I do remember my car payment was $77/month. Bought it from Egizio Chevy-Olds in Naperville, IL.
