A 1974 Malibu Classic.

[BThibodeaux]

I hate when people ask me this question. Not because it's a bad question, but because it pisses me off every time I think about it. My dad was helping me look for a car in early 1981. One car that we test drove was a 1976 Camaro with a 350 (priced at $3,200). The car was in like new condition, and was a total blast to drive (especially for a 17 year old). My dad talked me out of it on the premise that gas was going to cost $1.50 a gallon by 1982. I am not sure where he got that crap from. Anyway, I caved and bought a POS Buick Skyhawk with a V6 in it(also priced at $3,200). What's worse is that a guy I knew at school ended up buying the Camaro and driving it in front of me evry day. That is until he wrecked the sh*t out of it eight months later...

[ZZ3ElCamino]

This was my first car. My dad and I built it as a father/son project and I still own it today. I am currently in the middle of converting it to a mild pro-touring car.

My dad and I built it as a father/son project and I still own it today. Same as with mine! Apparently Fathers know a thing or two about El Caminos. :thumbsup:

[XcYZ]

76 Camaro. Blue with white interior. It was a nice car. Then I had this idea that it needed a little more power...

Back in 1982 my first car was a 1966 Ford Fairlane. I sure wish I had that car now.

[1984 camaro]

I had three first cars at fifteen I had given to me a 1968 delta 88 455 possi burner, 1974 buick century 350, 1978 ford elite 351. Dad said no to the delta and the ford had three dead cylinders so I ended up with the century put a set of keystone classics a holley carb and a glass pack. Also 18 cans gloss black krylon paint it was lots of fun. The first nice car that I got was my 1966 skylark convert and still have it today that was over 20 years ago

[71Nova]

My forst car was a 77Nova that I got from my great grandma. It was originally a 6 cyl car. I rebuilt my first engine for that car. It was a 305 out of a chevy van. I learned a lot with that car but am never going back to the gut less 305.

[CHROMAHOLIC]

My first car I bought in 1984, it was a 67 Chevy two it had a big block, 12 bolt 4:88's its a wonder I didn't kill myself at 16 when I bought it....I paid $3,500.00 for it and sold a year later for $6,000.00

[will69camaro]

My first car is my 69 i'm still modding today...Not that it was all that long ago. I got the car when i was 13 for my 13th bday (we'd been looking for a 69 for quite some time). That was back in 97. Since then i've painted it and put in a 355 4spd to replace the 307 3spd, and it currently has a LT1/T56. It's soon to go back to the body shop and get a new motor.

Keith's car is very cool. My first car was a 65 Mustang, 289 and 4 speed. Lots of good memories, and it really seemed fast to me.

[cheezer]

I just found this picture last week-end while going through some stuff. My first TWO cars in the same shot.

In the background is the 1977 Type LT 305 auto that I bought from the insurance proceeds from being a passenger in a violent car crash .....

The other is my first new car that I ordered from the dealership in 1984. I was already into Pro-Touring even then : I had to wait five months for GM to build me one with a 5-speed, four wheel discs and the 3.73 gears along with roll up windows........ I made the mistake of selling it when I got married. It had a Dana 44 complete rear from GM Performance and a 350 with Dart heads when I sold it.

Best memory : I happened to drive by a Chevy dealership one day when a then brand new (plastic on the seats) IROC with the 350 drove out with a slaesman and a prospective client, headed for the industrail park next door. I could not resist following. As they say, the look on the face of that salesman when a 4 year old, plain looking carb car smoked him repeatedly, was priceless.

'69 Chevelle SS396... I bought it for $1000 when I was 12, in 1994 with no engine. I've still never driven it. I've had about 3 different engines I planned on putting in it so far, but haven't done any work on it, as I've been pre-occupied with the '69 Malibu I bought when I was 15.

[Musclerodz]

'86 VW Golf :dance: totaled it 8 months later, first hot rod was a '90 IROC with 350, no extras, never lost a race. I would prefer to have my uncle's first car, a new '66 Chevelle, 396, 4 speed. Or my mom's new '68 Camaro, 327, loaded with options.

mike

[race-rodz]

i actually started out with a 66 chevy shortwide that i put on a shortened 76 3/4 ton 4x4 chassis, had a 383/th400/205 and 4:56's and it ran 16's the one and only time i was talked into drag racing it. the 4x4 was my only form of transportation, but i also had a 63 nova project goin on, it was mini-tubbed, mustang 2 ifs, and a full cage....it got sold as a roller to pay for a set of 40" boggers and bigger lift for the 4x4.

i shoulda kept the nova, but underage drinking and gettin stuck in mud holes tryin to impress chicks was the main past time at that point in my life....... actually...... other than the underage drinkin...my past time is still prettymuch the same :rofl:

[KAA]

I bought it for $1000 when I was 12 I don't think I had $10 when I was 12. What the hell were you growing on that farm?? :lol:

69 camaro COPO 427 4 speed





Ok....I am obviously kidding. I was just thinking about the guys who always tell me about the cars they "use" to have and all the rarity it had. Do people hear this much!??!:rofl:
My first vehicle, 89 chevy LWB 3/4 ton. with 300K + miles. It was one of my dads business vehicles. Wasn't too bad, I was proud at 16.

[Smack_talker]

My first car was a 65 Mustang, 289, auto and was that funky green color. I restored that car all thru high school and sold it when I graduated and bought a brand new 82 Mustang GT, "The Boss is back"

[Clockwork]

Back in '87 to '90 I had a '75 Malibu, didn't know much about cars then, only that it had a 350 4 bbl. Probably a bit much for a 17 year old during winter, every panel had some sort of damage when I was done with it! :lol:

Still ran like a charm though the day it went to the scrapyard. :yes:

[MaxHarvard]

Oh jeez... bad memories!

My first car was a 1985 Honda civic, manual steering, no AC, manual transmission, brakes comepletely shot, bald cord showing tires and 180K on the odometer... it was a great "snow" car because if i hit a snow bank, it didnt matter :D

[MaxHarvard]

. I was just thinking about the guys who always tell me about the cars they "use" to have and all the rarity it had. Do people hear this much!??!:rofl:


EVERY TIME I FILL THE DAMN THING UP!! there's always some guy who had something very similar or a 1966 camaro... uhhh sure. Best one was "i used to have a mustang just likes yours"... oohhhh... wrong car, wrong person and wrong time to say that!!

[Derek69SS]

I don't think I had $10 when I was 12. What the hell were you growing on that farm?? :lol:By about age 8, every kid around here with any ambition can make ~$6/hr for a couple months every spring helping the farmers pick up rocks in the fields (rocks can do some serious damage when run through a combine)

My first car was a -76 corvette, which I stil own. I was 17 when I got that beast. At the time I was a exchangestudent in Chicago (2001-2002). I got the vette from near by Chicago and shipped ower the Atlantic to Finland!http://finnshark.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1642&stc=1&d=1158086486
This is how it looks now after 3 years body off build up!

[Payton King]

and stripe...swivel buckets. It was a hand me down that I drove for a year. Starting of my senior year of HS, Sept 81, my folks said they would help me get another car. We were on our way to pick up a 69 Camaro SS, 396/375, ralley green. On the way my parents said "would you rather have a corvette?"...at the time, YEA! Passed on the Camaro and got a 1978 Silver Anniv. L-82. Still wish I had gotten the Camaro. I did not find out how rare that car was until a few years later. Price for the Camaro was $1500 Price on the corvette was $8000. Working part-time making $3.35 an hour paid the $263.73 payment. Parents must have been pretty smart. I worked all of the time and weekends to make the payment...kept me out of trouble and girls pants. I made up for it in college.

[modmachR]

The first car I bought was a 66 4dr Chevelle that had lost a fight with a telephone pole. I got it in 76 a year and 1/2 befor I got my license.
Took me that long to teach myself how to straighten the frame and replace the dog house. :lol:

My Camaro. 1969 Camaro I bought for 2000 bucks when I was 14. I was so naive I still have notes where I guestimated it would only take 4 thousand to fix and I would have it on the road by 16.

And yes, this was 2001, so yes only 4000.

[Blown353]

My first car is/was my Chevelle. :yes:

[Leadfoot1]

AH, high school.

On the way one morning, took a new street from the bus stop...

There it was with a FOR SALE sign; 1968 Chevy2. 1 owner(lady of course), straight six, glide blue on blue (Cant remember mileage but very low and no rust. Bought it that night (800$, and father fronted the cash).

Kept it and put ALL my cash in it for 3 years (Total show car, caged, 482" th 400 and tangerined monochromatic as it was the trend then) Then realised i had accumulated a debt i couldn't pay on it (as it was mostly built on credit- Major No-no!) with my appartment, Bike(GSXR-750) and my commuter modded VW Scirocco).

Sold the bike, the car, lost my girlfriend.....And learned that you need to stick to budget if you want to see the end of your project.

Now i know! And isn't knowing half the battle!? :lol:

The guy i sold it too had a speed shop. He got it for nothin (i really cried when the flatbed towing took it away) and sold it in pieces ( i had not even ever fired the 482 and had boxes and boxes of new parts still unwrapped) and sent the body to a scrapyard as it became so stripped at a point he tought it would be better that way!!!!YES!!!Scrapyard!!! I bought the shell back from them (Paint almost intact) 2 years later (it was sitting on a rack in the end of the yard, frameless) and most of the body parts from the Speed shop owner (what was left) Got it refreshed, small blocked and at least drove it for 1 summer. Then i sold it. I wanted to prove to myself i had done this car to the end....Glad i did.

Lead.

[sixtnine]

My 69 Camaro was my first car. This easter will make 21 years. My dad paid $1900 for it. I was 14 years old. The day I turned 16 I got my license and got into a street race with a older classmate who had a 68 Camaro. Back in high school it was its original color, Frost Green. Most of the hot girls back then did not the color. It ain't easy being green! :rofl:

[lil427z]

67 mustang . i paid 500.00 for it .

[Gordz32]

89 Dodge daytona, V6,5-speed, black over silver. That thing was awsome untill I blew it up racing an acura integra. We raced once and I beat him, He wanted to go again, and I heard a slight ticking coming from the motor, and said screw it. :unibrow: So we raced again and I won again, put limped the car home. It was a fun car

[youthpastor]

First car 55 Chev 2 door. paid $200 for it at age 14. about $150 too much back then, put it together, back when you could buy decent fenders for $30-40! 327 and Vega stall convertor-the car would have to rev up to 2000 before it even would move! All my buddies got into Camaros so i sold it for $1500 and bought a Clean white '73, but that's another story.

Man I'm starting to sound like my dad-Chris

[GTX]

L89!! Wow - do you still have it?
I wish I still had it and all the Musclecars I had...My buddy back then,1979, drove his Mom's car,a blue/white striped '70 SS 454 Chevelle.Not bad for 16 year old kids.

[ProTouring442]

My first car was a father-son project, a 1966 Chevelle convertible. We did a body off "resto" on it. Dropped an LS-6 454 and a M-20 4-speed in it. It was red with a red and white custom interior. After it wiped a cam we put a roller in it, ran 12.03s quite often. I got two or three 12.01s on afternoon, kept trying for a 11.99 but just couldn't get it.

Sold it to buy a 1961 Impala 2dht, dropped a roller cammed, bored & stroked (482) 409 with 2-4s in it. :unibrow: Nice and fast, but I just couldn't keep the '09 together. I sold it to start my current project... 13 years ago! :willy:

This is a fun thread.

First Car was a 67 Camaro. 327 2bl. 3 on the Tree.<---only one I every saw.
I bought it from my girlfriends father at 15. It cost $500 and had 62k miles on it. 7 months later I turned 16.

2 weeks after birthday 16, I was racing a 70 Mustang 351. It was fun until we crossed through a intersection. We both got totaled by a drunk driver running a red light. Her father was REALLY pissed. The same year bought a 68 RS Camaro 327. It didn't run but only had to pay $50 for it. Drove it till 18. Sold it and bought a 69 SS Camaro for $975.00. Sold it to go to College.

Ty O'Neal

PS: I'm Jealous as hell of all you guys who still have their first car. You Suck!!;) I would sell my left one to have my '69 Camaro back.

[R67Chevelle]

Still got it... My 67 chevelle.. Had it almost 21 years now... Will have it back in shape and on the road the end of the year... Interesting thread...

Blessings,

:lateral:

[rockatanski]

my first was an '81 camaro berlinetta, willed to me by my grandma, got it when i was 14 (back in like '95). it only had the v6, but i drove the hell out of it. had all kinds of crazy plans for it, then i started tearing into it and realized the only unrotted metal on it was the trunk lid, the roof, and the hood, and it'd be cheaper and easier to start on something a little less rusted out. primer black paintjob, black nascar wheels, gutted interior. good stuff. wish i still had it sometimes, mostly just sentimental.:(

[Diognes56]

My first was an '88 Ex-State Caprice. That car was a blast. Till some idiot ran into the back of it :( .

The first car I bought was a 1962 Impala 4dr sedan for $300 dollars. About the only thing that was good about that car was that the body was completely solid. I ended up selling it when I found my '56, still kind of wish I could have kept it though.

David

[Steve Chryssos]

My first car was and is my 68 Camaro bought for $800 at age 13 with a 250 inline six and a 'glide. I rebuilt it many times. It has been red, yellow, gold, and 16 shades of primer. I dated my wife in our car. While sitting in the car one Friday night, I pretended to pour a quart of oil onto her nice new blouse. The cap came off. Oil everywhere.

The car is also largely responsible for the start of Twist Machine. It is an inherent part of my family, so if you want to buy it, the price is $1,000,000.00 negotiable. :rofl:

1968 Ford XL, 390
I inherited the car from my grandmother when I was 15, but lost a ring the third time I drove it and had to learn how to rebuild the motor. I drove the car for 17 years and 300k miles but of course now regret not keeping the old Gal.

Hi My first car was a 66 Chevelle SS 138 car I bought it for $500 and it looked it,but it was fast. I got it in Dec of 71 had it untill it broke my bank in April of 72 When my father cosigned for a loan for my X33 69 Z/28. He always said cars would kill me. I know what he meant now every time I think about having sold it. Wayne

First car was a '65 Mustang with a 6 cyl.. worked odd jobs to buy it and it was the 176th Mustang ever produced :)

Second car was a '67 Camaro with a 327 and powerglide

Wish I still had either of them...

Second car was a 81 El Camino

[hapevo]

My first car was a 1973 Vega Wagon with a 327SBC and Turbo 350 purchased in 1978.:unibrow: I was 15 years old. What a learning experience that was!

[chet]

My first car was a 1980 suzuki Jeep all built up for off road racing, cage, ltd slips, no nothing but two racing buckets. It must have weighed all of 1500 lbs tops. I beat the living tar out of that little rig. Jumping 5'-6' in the air was sooo much fun!

My second was what I callmy first. 1977 ford f100 shortbox stepside in amazing shape. I built the 400 to around 300 HP based on the hotrod article. Had to sell it due to college and 7 mpg!!! :D

[O'Neall]

First car was a blue 1974 base model Pontiac Firebird with a Chevy inline-6, 3spd on the floor, and a white vinyl roof.

It was far from fast, but had lots of good times in that car and it started my love of Firebirds which has now lasted 24 years. Dang I'm old!!!!!! :wow:

Sorry... only have one surviving picture of the car and that's gone MIA at the moment.:(

don't feel bad.. My dad helped me get a 71 beetle that I was restoring when my best friend was selling his 71 Super beetle rolling chassis, for 250 bucks.. So I bought it, and took the fresh 1600 I had just built for the other car and stuck it in this one. Drove this for about a yr and half got sick of VW and sold all 4 that i had acquired..lol. Now I have an itch for another one, this one will be late 50's early 60's Beetle.

[LateNight72]

Uhh, my first car, or first driveable car? :unibrow:

My first car is the 'Velle. Original 402/M20/Flame Orange/Bench Seat/True SS. I guess the purists might bash my skull in when they figure out what I'm planning to do to it.. :lol:

My first *driveable* car, is my '01 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 V8. Not much of a performer, in comparison with P-T type cars. But I am planning a bunch of suspension upgrades & performance, to make it a little more power. Hopefully good enough to take to a few track days..

[Montana67]

First car was a '71 Firebird, bought in '79 for $1800. Perfect in every way except the back seat was a little uncomfortable.

Totaled in '81.
