I tried, after replying, to edit my reply with a pic of my '91 Capri but timed out. Here's a pic of mine (In the background).

Mine was a 74 VW Beetle crashed paid 800 dollars for it in 1975 and rebuilt it over Christmas <New Years holiday at my Uncles. He rebuilt Bugs for a living way back then. Car had 8000 miles on it.Crashed it in Downtown Dallas in November of 1977 on a rainy nasty day.

Had found a 69 convertible Firebird just like my avatar for $1000 with 46k on it 400 4 speed duals it was slick but my Dad said I would kill my self in it and I could buy the VW or ride my 10 speed bike till I was out of school. So I got the bug and waited till I could find and build my dream car. Found it in 2003 and started it in 2007 finished it in 2010 and would build another 1 if they were not so damn expensive to build.

Mine was a 1971 Pontiac LeMans.
After 2 transmissions, 10 speeding tickets, and 2 accidents (not my fault), I sold it for $100.
(it actually still ran)

that's not it, but darn close.:omg:

I had a dream the other night that I ran into the guy I sold my 1st car to, and he still had it after all these years. There it was just like I remembered it. Really weird.

What Was Your First Car?

Mine was a 1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Eight cylinder, 350 cubic inch engine. It was bought by my dad. Then my brother drove it. Then it was pass down to me. Still was in my dad's name. So still had the A Title.

So I drove it. And drove it into the ground. Cracked a head. Dropped a transmission. Rebuilt both. But didn't really restore the car. Eventually, I wanted to drive a car that got better than 15 MPH. So it was sold to a high school teacher. And he went to work.

He took out the tape deck I put in. He put in a crate engine and transmission. Went through the interior with a fine tooth comb, and made it new again. And the paint... It's a work of art.

The car is now a show piece. And I cry on the rare times that I see it at shows. But I wouldn't have had the cash to do it anyway. Poverty is a female dog.:doh:

69 Camaro SS convt. Never got to drive it, dad bought it for me, then weighted my maturity level with the performance level of the car, sold it before I got my permit.

Dad gave me a '76 Nova when I graduated college and was getting ready to move to TX. It was either that or a '77 Maverick, I was glad at the time that I got the Nova. The thing had trouble starting in even the modest cold of a Dallas winter and had some supposedly "heavy duty" rear suspension that was constantly breaking and leaving one of the rear wheels moving around in its well....took it to Chief Auto the second time it happened and they gave me some BS guess as to what was going on, luckily it was on a lift right there and I grabbed the wheel and slid it back and forth to show them the problem. The thing had a 250 straight six, decent power but nothing exceptional at all.
Had already started looking at new cars when I was trying to get on Skilman from a little feeder road and the guy in front of me stopped abruptly, seemed to be looking into a little fast food place for somebody or something...I stopped with no trouble, but the bad thing was a little Honda was coming around a curve behind me driven by a woman looking for her friends at a driving range on the other side of the street (she said she saw their car). She hit me going 45-50mph without even touching her brake, the guy in front of me just took off after the impact. The Nova was sort of pushed in looking, but driveable...the Honda was wiped out. I was really sore for a couple of days, but then felt fine...a few months later my right hip started hurting and it took 10 years to get that sorted out. It was sciatica from limbar spine disc damage from the car accident.
Anyway, my insurance offered me something like $700 if I gave them the car or $500 if I kept it. The son of a coworker I really liked was a mechanic and passed word through his dad that he'd like to fix up the Nova and put a 350 in it to race. This sounded cool to me and I agreed to sell it to him for only $100 if he'd let me drive it on the track some after he was done...so, I took a $100 bath just to see and feel the old Nova as a racer. The little fucker let the thing sit in his yard for a year and then sold it for scrap for $200...I also realized that I had left my bike stuffed in the trunk when I sold it to him, and he swore that it wasn't in there when he got it. He moved right after selling the car, abruptly left his wife and just bogged out of town...I couldn't even go to "talk" to him about the shit he pulled on me.
I was such a naive idiot!!!!
