What was your first car?

First car I was able to take out on my own was '72 Maverick Grabber.

First car purchased was a '78 VW Scirocco. Had it until I sold it when I got my '04 Cooper S.

 

My first car was a 1956 Ford Victoria 2 door HT. auto. Thunderbird V8 and I paid $500 for it in 1963.The first mods were to install an old table radio speaker in the rear shelf and removed the hubcaps.

 

My first car was something called a 2005 MINI Cooper S, not sure if you guys have heard of it or not.

 

Heck John what a cool first car. Took me years to work my way into a sweet R53 MINI.

 

1958 VW (first year for the larger rear window), I sure loved those

36 hp!

 

Whaaaaatt.....Rab in a VW Beetle? Tell me it ain't so!

 

:cornut: Wonderful car but some body at Ford had a whole bucket of 'dumb' poured all over them when they put a Windsor Engine where they should have put a Cleveland Engine.:eek6::frown2::crazy:

1967 Chevelle.

It was a basket case when I bought it at age 17. Learned how to wrench on it and have been into cars (performance and offload) for 30 years now. Inside, I'm still that 17 year old kid

 

Well you know that 1964 WAS a long time ago and my girlfriend sure liked

it!:wink:

 

Do you think you could still fit in the back seat with her though?

 

:yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes: Maybe with a light coat of oil.:ihih::lol:opcorn:

Oil?.....nope not touching that one.

 

Dirty Old Men...Dirty Old Men...Dirty Old Men

 

Old men don't need car backseats anymore, we have our houses now.

 

First cars

I got to drive my folks 1971 Ford Torino w/351W when I got my license (1980). They let my older brother have it so then I got to drive dad's 1978 Buick LeSabre w/pinging v8.
The car I first owned was a well used 1970 Dodge Challenger w/383, A727 torqueflite w/shift kit, big Holley 750, headers and numerous issues. I worked on that thing "all the time". Learned a lot...Loved the sound of that big 8. Went through a lot of gas

 

Neither of us!:drool

 

1977 Chevy Vega with a 350 in it. Used a Chevy Monza for a donor car and put all the mounts and front springs. Fast was a understatment.

 

:cornut: My Army buddy got a 1977:drool Cosworth Vega but I got out of the Army so I never knew whether his was a good car or a dog. Were those Cosworth Vegas any good?opcorn:opcorn:

Those Cosworth things were a sorry excuse for a car. Bow-wow....
