My first beauty was a 71 Chevy Elcameno. 305 with a burnt exhaust valve. Black on black fresh paint, and great big rubber! Loved that thing!

 

1977 Ford F-100 300 cu. in. inline 6 cylinder, 3 "on the tree" manual steering, brakes, windows and no A/C. Red and rusty with white wagon wheels and air shocks Paid $700.00 for it. It wasn't much but I was proud of it.

Oh gosh, memories....

My first car was a 1974 Chevy Vega.

Remember those?!

 

Gold 1973 mustang , 351 Cleveland , automatic , mint condition,
ended up prostreet door slammer, couldn`t keep transmissions in it racing on the street so it was gone.

 

'69 Camaro 350 auto. Not really bad, but looked cool until I tried this really cool inversion maneuver (i.e. rollover )

 

First car cost $40. I bought if from a family friend. 1972 Pontiac Catalina, pee green with black vinyl top, 400 4 barrel. It was a piece of chit but I loved that car!!! Wrecked it a couple months later and traded it for a 1976 Pontiac Astre (Chevy Vega.) That was a couple dozen vehicles ago. I now have the car I wanted to be my first though!!!!!

 

1964 Comet Cyclone GT.

White: 289/271HP

Buckets, Hurst Shifter, Posi, - it was a running machine and next to the guy that had the 340 Dart Swinger (he was the fastest). I had the 2nd fastest car in the High School.

 

1964 Chevy short-bed pickup (hey, I live in Texas)
327, 3 speed on the column.
I went through 4 clutches that first summer!
I finally figured out that dumping the clutch at 4000 rpm was not good...for anything!

Now, 22 years and 83 vehicles (yikes!) later, I think back to some of the ones I wish I`d kept.

70 Dodge Challenger
Just a 318, but what a cool car.

1971 1/2 SS396 Nova

1971 1/2 SS 396 NOVA, Bought for $700 dollars in 1981, engine was blown and they put a 350 in it, but kept the 12 coil springs on front. So with a couple bounces, it would pull the front tires off the ground. I was cool back in school.
