Chet, I bet you wish you still had the Hemi Road Runner!!! Sweet ride...

My first Car was a '55 chevy Sedan (got it when I was 14)-as I recall, I paid $100-this one didn't last long.

Second Car was a '57 Chevy Belair-I had this Car in the Tri-State Auto Exhibition in Denver, in 1972 (?)-it had a 327 with a 4 speed, chromed Dash, and my Brother painted it a Silver-Blue color. It had it all (in my eyes)-even a Dash mounted 8 Track Player! I clearly remember playing "American Woman" on the 8-Track while rowing through the Gears!

i bet the 57 ford was a police interceptor engine, can't believe you still have the paper work, back then no one thought about such things. did you ever tote canolopes in from a field or pull corn on the farm like i did?

My first car was a 66 bel air, petty blue(after my older bro painted it for me)
I traded it for a doge with a 440 magnum, but it was beat, so I had a buddy who needed a drived and traded that a 64 pontiac LeMans for ,marimba red,326 3 speed, hurst shifter, bucket seats ,console , all Needed some work, but I had it running after a week of working on it after school.
My other bro helped me put a clutch in it and it was off to the races.
That explains my current ride...64 Lemans,only this one is getting a warmed over 400.

First car was 1954 mercury flathead, $25.00. Had a crack block and I did not go to far in that I was 13 and I drove it around the farm a couple of times and took it apart. Then a 1965 440H American. That translates to a 6 cylinder with a two barrel!!! Then I got a '65 GTO. Put in a Isky 310 degree cam, Belanger headers, a Holley 3 barrel and a few other additions into that. Then I got a '66 GTO with trips, love that car. Plus along the way I had projects, T-Bucket, 34 sedan, 36 Dodge coupe, 55 Chevy 210, 68 El Camino, 62 nova, and that list goes on Then a '68 vette convertible, had that awhile, about 6 years. Now I got 29 sedan, 27 roadster, 96 vette and a 50 ford chop top project. Also I will admit that I got about the same amount money that I had 35 years ago, none. Seems that I spend it ALL on cars.

mine was a 32ford 2door sedan with 21studv8.bought from aroad contracter that was building a road into the logging camp i grew up in. I paid 50 dollars which came from a paper rout.was 14 at the time,never told parents for several weeks.spent many hrs keeping it running.fast for the day verry poor brakes,drove mostly on gravel roads(forestry roads )no licence needed.

I began driving at the tail end of 10th grade(1984), and I had a payment plan with my Dad for his copper '78 AMC Pacer that he had bought new 6 years earlier. But it spent almost that whole summer in the shop, so I gave it back to him and bought a 1974 Mustang II, 4 cyl, auto, with aluminum slots and wide tires.

Then, in 1985, I bought a 1978 Cobra II with a modified 302, with about 270hp and a 4 speed. I owned it for a year, blew up 1 transmission, then sold it and bought my 4th car.

It was a red 1971 Torino GT, with a slightly modified 351c, about 325hp, auto.

Then I bought my 1st '65 Mercury Comet.

Then I graduated.

My first vehicle was a 1974 Nova my uncle gave me. Straight 6
My second vehicle was a 73 camaro had it two weeks
My third vehicle was a 73 chevelle had it two months
My forth vehicle was an 81 Schwinn
When I did get my license back I purchased a 73 Dodge Charger 3 months later I had a second one and it was the last cool car I purchased before 2000

[NamelessJoe]

my first car i drove was a 5 speed 1986 Plymouth Voyager it was a gutless wonder i jumped it off the oil pan and it was fine, hit dozens of dead things in the road and bounced it of a telephone pole but it was good to go, it would just die if i had the AC on and came to a stop sign... oh i paid about 200 for it it was $1500 but my folks waived my debt when i graduated high school

[Joe G]

Man, I was born too late.

My car in high school was a 1984 Buick LeSabre. Bought it for $100 (in '91). A theft recovery, it had a punched column and the dash and headliner were cut up. Fixed the column for $50 and put 100,000 miles on it. Sold it to a friend for $500 and he put another 100,000 on it.

Good times....

[willowbilly3]

First ride was a 56 Caddy I got from the original owner with 28,000 miles. cost $500. Then I traded it in for a 64 Cutlass, white 2 door hardtop with red bucket seat interior and 4 speed. God I wish I had that car back.

[MARTINSR]

My first was my truck, this photo was shot in the school parking lot, 1977.

Another "car" I drove was my dads 55 F-100 shown in the other photo with my brothers Roadster. I don't have any photos of it back then on my computer and it certainly didn't look this good but it had the same 401 Buick in it and I had a ball smoking the one tire thru the parking lot and out onto the street.

[TroyBoy]

Mine was a 67 GMC Custom with a 305 V6/auto trans. Dad gave it to me with the understanding that if I tore it up, I was walking. I walked quite a bit Didn't have a real job, just cutting grass and odd stuff to support gas costs,lol. Didn't drive alot till I graduated HS and got a real job. 2 engines,3 trans and 1 rearend in 5 years on that poor old truck.

you have no idea, I sold it and the kid I sold it to totaled it 3 days later. Hit one of the cement posts in a parking lot that they used to mount the light poles on.

Great cars and great stories, no one has mentioned going to the drag strip or street racing. I fessed up to illegal racing and an even more illegal part night job, come on and come clean. I can't believe no one has mentioned bagging groceries or pumping gas to pay for your ride and gas. Does anyone remember what they paid for gas in high school? garrell
