I've done this once last winter over at *the other board*, let's do it here.
What was your first set of wheels? Mine........a 1969 Volkswagen Square Back Sedan SUPER little car, I bought it from my parents back in 1972, kept it until 1998 I believe, it was still running like a top. I put 2 rebuilt engines in it, one tranny......I sold it to a high school girl for $1500, I've seen it around town still puttin' around, now I know when I sold it to her, it had JUST over 350,000 miles on it :o Ah the memories

Dennis

1970 White Opel GT. 4 speed--- Red interior, with this mechanical sliding lever thing to flip the headlights.
Driver sits literally ON the floor---you can't get a hand under the seat.
Had this silly bump in the hood to clear the air intake.

Nice car but a mechanics nightmare.

For me...it was a 17 year old's Mini 'Vet.

87 Chevy celebrity.. Blue, no ac... lol

1986 Dodge Omni...candy apple red

1964 Falcon Futura V8. That car could stand up on it's back tires and pop a wheelie

1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo - V8 - that car could haul arse!!!!!! And carry alot of people - I was the person nominated to haul everyone around!

I was the person nominated to haul everyone around!

You to??? LOL it was like I was running Chads taxi service

That was ONE good thing about the VW.....not much room, however, we use to cram 6 ppl into the thing, you just had to make sure everyone took a shower!

1978 Ford Fairmont station wagon. Baby blue colored. Not exactly what every teenager dreams of driving!

A 1967 Dodge Coronet. My parent's first new car. It was aqua blue with a black vinyl roof. I always could pick it out in the parking lot because it looked like it was smiling at you! My Dad installed an FM converter in it too.

I can relate 1981 chevy citation..That was the car that wouldn't stop running..until I sold it to one of my best friends..Robin..On the way back from GRAD NIGHT at WDW..she head oned into another one of my friends..She... after a few weeks in the hospital and a few close calls survived..The chevy..was cut in two in the wreck and the jaws of life finished her off!! :o

1965 Dodge Polara, tudor 383 cu .in. with a deep reddish interior/exterior and factory air. GREAT back seat...

My first car was a Volkswagon Square Back as well! Great car for someone in the service...lots of room!

My first car was the ugliest green Grand Torino. It was one of my dad's company cars and I guess no one else wanted it. I guess it was about a 1976 model. I was so JEALOUS of my brother, he had a PINTO.

lol i remember this thread you made over there dennis! Mine was an 89 ford probe!! lol

Pretty roomy huh????

'67 Chrysler Newport 2-door, land yacht. Slight tail fins, fender skirts, HUGE trunk. 383, 2bbl. It would move out. I talked my dad into putting a glass pack on it. Beautiful car. 2-door was very rare. Still kicking myself for getting rid of it. It's probably still running somewhere.

At the time I was jealous of my younger brother. He got the '70 Chrysler 300. 440, 4bbl, dual exhausts. That car would MOVE, but it was ugly.

The ladies never complained, Stephanie...

Besides, the front seat was split, with a mid-seat console...I dubbed it the "birth-control panel". Same thing with my second car, a 1967 red ragtop Mustang.

Yeah, but I bet the Mustang got the ladies in the car!!!

Ah, yes ... my first set of wheels ...

Would you believe it was 57 Plymouth Belvedere II? ... YEP!
Only had 85,000 miles on it as well!
