What was your first car?

78 Caprice was mine. It had a massive hole in the driver's side floorboard. I blew the engine less than a year after I got it. It had all the power options and everything worked.

My first car was a 1970 Mustang Mach1 with a 351C Ram Air.
Bought it wrecked, roof was down to the seats, all windows were busted out except for one rear quarter window. Paid $525 for the car and only cost me $300 to get it back on the road. My Dad, brother and I did the work.
Check out gas price in the pic, now I'm telling my age.

mine was a datsun pickup. i was only 13 at the time. my dad still tells a story about me doing doughnuts around him as he was cutting grass on the riding the lawnmower. he says it like it scared him lol. i wish i still had it, but i totaled it in the woods. i just kept to our 1000ft driveway and a little bit of wood crawling. it was a 5 speed so the first car i ever drove was 5spd. it actually had a non removable hurst shifter and leaver. it was sold off as s b/ci really destroyed the thing. i then went to a golfcart that i drove every day. i had a carved out track after a couple months of running the golfcart around the same course over and over. it was really smooth. after that i had to drive my dad's elantra, more like share it. i had 2 accidents and 1 ditch kill. when i turned 18 my gramps gave me his baby, the 87 thunderbird. well he played around with all of the tuning screwed and had it where it wouldnt stay running idle. it took me and my dad 2 weeks to get everything good.. i was determined to keep it and build something of it. but SCREW LOANS. ugh. the bird was the first i could drive on the street. my first car i bought. mx5, and loving every bit of it!!

My first titled driving car was a 1968 Torino GT that I got for my 16th birthday back in 1975. I turned 16 in September of that year, got my drivers license in October, and wrapped it around a telephone pole in November.

On the plus side, I saved the bucket seats out of it and they are going into my 69 Torino GT next week. So, at least parts of it live on and, hopefully, will for a long time, this time.

It was an '88 Town Car. I got it when I was 15, and I had it 4 years when I traded it towards a '93 Mustang convertible in 2003. Ever since then it's been sitting at the local Ford dealer. :hick:

1964 Impala Coupe with small V-8 (283). One feature that I thought was special --was the Green Idiot light which was lit when you started the engine cold. It would go out when the engine supposively reached operating temp. The overall dash set up was nice. Now I'm driving a 1989 Towncar like that pictured above and the T-Bird. The towncar legroom reminds me of the Impala. I have owned the Towncar since 1993. Wish I could get one without rust.

86 cougar, lots of dents and lots of rust. Piece of garbage with next to no options. Didn't know what I had and wish I kept it. 5.0 with a/c that didn't work and digital dash. Manual everything and no power windows.

My first car was an 87 T-Bird with a V6. Two tone blue, power everything, full center console. Rust took over. Hit a deer in it, sped it.
