Re: What was your first car?
Actually when I dug for the 70 Chicago Auto Show pictures I came across slides of me learning to drive on my Z at I believe age 14. What the heck is a 14 year old doing driving that kind of car in a cemetery? Great place to learn I guess? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] At the time the Z was painted exactly like Denis's first ride. Will post the CAR pic tomorrow.

Re: What was your first car?
Ok, here is what my car looked like when I learned how to drive on it. I was 14 and my brother would take me to the cemetery where he would let me practice. Eventually the Z became my daily driver during my high school years. (Side note: My friend had a 66 HiPo Mustang. He blew up the engine and then got a beautiful 69 Vette Convertible. They looked good parked in the lot together) Years later, upon my return home from school he told me he was going to sell it. I convinced him not to and offered to restore the car back to original in return for co-ownership. The best deal I ever made. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: What was your first car?
Mossportgreen66 the one who started this thread asked me to post pics of his current beauty. He does have pics of his first cars that he is digging up for me to post.

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!
