Cool thread [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Brings back a lot of memories...first car in 1978 - '70 Chevelle 300 Deluxe which quickly became an SS [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] We didn't call them clones or tribute cars or anything else back then - they were "fake" or "phoney" SS cars and people weren't ashamed to admit that because few teenagers knew the difference or cared for that matter. We wanted the SS look and just bought the parts from GM [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Second car was a '67 Camaro Pace Car. Too bad I didn't know that at the time - it was just a nice white and blue vert! Third was a '69 L78 Chevelle. I was in grade 13 (Canada) and remember watching the gas gauge fall as I sat in front of my girlfriend's place saying "goodnight" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] Only kept that one for a month - it's pretty tough to go parking in the Winter in Canada without the heater running [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Late 70's. First car was a hand-me-down from my parents that they bought new - 1972 Buick Skylark, 350/350 4 bbl, gold/black vinyl top, gold bucket seats with console. A LOT of High School memories in that car. Sold it to a friend and bought a 1967 Camaro my last year of HS. Been hooked on Camaros since then.

I talked a bit in another thread about my first car.
A '56 Chev 2 Dr Post. I bought the car when I was 15 but sold it before I got my license. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
So, The first car I had on the road legaly was a'65 Corvair Corsa.It kind of dropped into my lap. I had to replace so many seals to get the thing to stop leaking oil!!
It was fun but no muscle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (wish it was Turbo!)
Still have a soft spot for them.
Before I found this site I never even heard of a Stinger, so thanks for that! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
