My first car was a '78 Plymoth Horizon. Not exactly a chick magnet, but it got great gas mileage.

1947 Chevrolet fastback w/216 dipper engine. Put a 235 in it and split the manifold, My first HOT ROD.

Re: What was your 1st car
 

1992 Ford Tempo. Dual exhaust, 20 degree Holley heads, with hood scoop and flame paint job.

Well, maybe not. Hey, it still runs and it has only broken down once in 17 years. Nothing serious either. Not a work of art, though. It doesn't even have a cassette player. I still have it, but I drive an Oldsmobile Alero now.

Re: What was your 1st car
 

'41 Chevrolet coupe.....several shades of rust......lovely oilcloth interior. Top end, about 75. Dad paid $65.00 for it at Speckman Bros. in Aurora.

Well, the first three sentences were all true. :wink

Mr. Fish, I found your car after the water receded. I knew it was your car because it had vanity plates on it that said "MARVLOUS". I restored it and later sold it at Barrett-Jackson for $43.38:O:

I learned to drive in a 66 Opel Cadet Wagon. Dad accidentally put the clutch disk in backwards and it would hang then slam in. You had to have a real soft touch on it. In hindsight it probably made me better with a clutch.

The first thing I actually owned was a 1951 Chevy P/U. 216 3 on the tree. Bought it in pieces and my dad made me do a complete restore on it so that I would appreciate what I had. Exploded the tranny after a few hundred miles, so I put a Muncie three speed in it with a late model Chevelle rear. It took a mile to get up to speed but would really haul once it was wound up.

I used to cruise Bloomington on Friday and Saturday nights looking for girls. Didn't know what to do when I found one, so I just kept cruising looking for more.

Re: What was your 1st car
 

1974 chevy nova.**** brown.No hub caps.Only a 305 but I made it to town and back in about 5 minutes in high school.Bout a 10 mile trip.In those days at 2 in the morning with no headlights on you could fly.

I learned how to drive in that car also. I would drive up and down the driveway for hours. What fun!

In 66 when Dad first purchase it, the family drove cross country for 6 weeks following the NY Mets. No air conditioner of coarse. Great trip, good memories!

Re: What was your 1st car
 

1987 Ford Tempo..........the starter burned out in it when i was a senior in high school so i had my buddy "bump" start me every day after school!!:rolling i was just practicing for the sprint car :thumb

Re: What was your 1st car
 

1970 Dodge Challenger. I loved that Car. I painted it Metalic Brown with SS Craiger Wheels and a really coooool 8 Track Player. It had a 318 Mopar Motor with Headers and Glass Pack Exhaust. It was awesome. The best time with the car was the time I spent with my Father putting it together. I drove it for the first time in 1979 and thought I was the coolest dude on the planet. I bought anther one several years ago so I could relive my early yeats but it is not the same. Then came marriage and Children. One of them decided to be a Race Car Driver so there went any extra $$... Enjoy the first car you own, there will never be another..

Re: What was your 1st car
 

Fist car I drove....

1982 Chevy Beauville full size van with a carb issue (to keep it running, had to hold brake and pump gas in at the same time).

First car I owned.

1995 Pontiac Grand Am. Got it wiht 85k miles, sold it with 135k miles with it leaking rain water, oil and other problems, just as I was about to pay it off.

Current car is a 2001 Malibu, been paid off for 2 months. Had to put 86 dollars to repair it today.

Re: What was your 1st car
 

1968 Pontiac Tempest, blue........overheard cam6, if my memory hasn't failed me. Remember not being able to leave the car out of my site whenever I was around four Canadian brothers that owned a garage, they wanted to tear the car apart and see what made it run.
