Your first set of wheels

#1 Postby azsnowman » Thu May 29, 2003 12:10 pm

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 :wink: 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 8-)

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.

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!

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.

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.

'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... :wink:

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. :cry:
