Osok Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thought it'd be cool to see what everyone started off with in the auto world. So post up your first car you owned (and a pic if ya got it). For me..my first car was a 1970 Impala V8..passed on by my parents. The first car I actually purchased was a 1989 Plymouth Horizon hatchback..ouch!

Team Adam's Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 1987 Camaro... don't have any pics to share... it predated the advent of digital cameras when I got it in 1996. I might have some in an album somewhere. I do have my old plate and the frame "Dylan's '87 Camaro" hung in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 1979 Toyota Celica GT Liftback. I bought it in 1988 with about 130K on the clock. It probably had about 150K on it when this pic was taken. That was one good little car. Beyond shocks, a clutch and a water pump I barely spent a dime on it over 40K miles. And look at those tires... freshly Armor-All'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2hill Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 1973 Chevrolet Luv truck. It was yellow, with a flying lady with green wings hood ornament! That was quickly removed and black stripe painted down the hood. I soon blacked out the trim and added an FM/Cassette player under the dash (from J.C. Penney no less!). As summer came around, I started my usual summer job - loading watermelons, along with my 'air-conditioned grocery store' job, and the money was flowing baby! Added white spoke wheels, with large tires in the back, and a 'roll' bar with KC Hi-Liters. As a Senior in High School I was allowed to leave campus for lunch, so I would load up a few 'honeys' and head to the Tastee freeze! Yes, I thought I was a Playa! 30 years later, guess what I planning to do to my truck - black out all the trim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a new Luv in 1978, it was Red , I first put white spokes, then I moved up to chrome spokes and yes wider tire in the back!:burnout:I even had a Hooker header!

Rich Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 The first car I owned was a 1969 Chevelle SS 396. I bought it new right out of the Navy in 69. This isn't the actual car, but identical. Mine had black interior though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianT Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 1972 Chevy Chevelle! Sweeeeeeet!!!!! The first car I owned was a 1969 Chevelle SS 396. I bought it new right out of the Navy in 69.

BrianT Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I guess I should add my first car! I had an 86 Ford Mustang LX 5.0. Novi, Flow Master 2 chamber mufflers, and off road H pipe. That car flew!! Let it out in the rain and you would be soaked in a matter of 10 minutes. I hate T-Tops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome_SS Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 1973 Camaro was my first. Yeah...I remember detailing her the wrong way and thinking wax would make her shine. LOL. Hey, I was only 16!

09G8GT Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 When I was around 16 I took over the payments on my dads 95 Grand AM. Did some stupid stuff with it and looking back wasted money on it, but it was fun. I could only imagine what the finish looked like, I used decent bath towels and a water blade to dry it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug123 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) 1971 Volkswagen bus. White over green, 1600cc dual-port. Learned to work on cars with it. It was originally from Virginia Beach, and I was in Quakertown, PA at the time, so there was no rust from salty roads. After I rebuilt it from the crank out, it ran really well, passed every other bus on the road. The person who bought it got a pristine VW bus. No photos of it anymore, but this is very close. http://nationalmotorsales.com/image_upload/1268073672_ug1.jpg Edited January 29, 2011 by Doug123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
