What was your first car????
 

I always find this interesting, Usually people in the Muscle Car scene found thier love for them by the first ride they had, This is mine a 1971 R/T Challenger tripple green 383 mag 355 gears, I grew up in Topeka Kansas and got this car for my 14th birthday, you got your license at 14 back then https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif I really could not imagine that now... I spent alot of time street racing and crusing Topeka Blvd in that, never the fastest but sure went through tires, Lets see some first ride pics or first love I should say.

1980 VW Rabbit. Got it at 16 years old. Savings from my paper route. Figured out that was stupid so I then got a '70 Barracuda from the original owner.

Re: What was your first car????
 

76 Camaro Rally Sport with a dog of a 305 auto. Not the quickest by any means, but it was a blast with the Hurst Hatch T-Tops. I thought I was the shiite back then, lol.

1972 Nova SS (still have it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif)

Re: What was your first car????
 

1969 Chevy Nova originally a 307 NON SS car. I bought the car when I was 15. Yes, I did go out and drive it once before I officially had my license which was very stupid!! Especially what I did to the car, 327 motor punched 30 over, mildy built w/Edelbrock Performer Cam, Performer intake, Holley 600, Blackjack Headers thru Sonic Turbo Mufflers.. Also had a turbo 350 trans with a big ole' Hurst Indy Floor Shifter.

Everyone thought it was a 4 speed.. That tranny was awesome. I put a B&M shift kit in it and it would always chirp the tires from 1st to 2nd gear no matter how hard you were on it. If you were really hard on it, it would break the tires loose and lay a nice stretch of rubber..

I later put a Nitrous Power Shot system on it which really woke it up and installed 4:11 gears... The car screamed at this point!! I did a lot of street racing in high school with it. My buddy had a 72 Plymouth Scamp with a built 360 and Nitrous. He and I had the fastest cars in our high school at the time, hands down!!

Car ran in the 12s depending on traction. Here are some pictures of her.. She wasn't real pretty but I was a teenage kid, I didn't care I just wanted to go fast and make lots of noise!! She is no longer, I pulled the motor and trans about 9 years ago and sold the shell. The body and floors were rough on the car. It had always been up north and seen some winters... What a fun car though!!

Re: What was your first car????
 

I will ad my second love, I really liked this one, the Challenger was lost due to me moving out of my dads house and with my mom, (nothing like using a tool on your kid) I tried to buy my Challenger back from the guy who had purchased it, when I pulled into his driveway it was about 4 feet shorter than it use to be, seems he was Drag racing on Topeka Blvd and a car pulled out in front of him. So I found this

Re: What was your first car????
 

1972 orange/black 442 with an automatic, bucket seats and orange SSII wheels. This was in 1972 and I shared the car with my mom. When I left for college, I ended up with the car my sophomore year. Of course, I put cherry bomb mufflers on it.

Re: What was your first car????
 

1972 Nova bought in 1978...originally a 6 banger and powerglide. Went the 402 big block and Turbo trans route...sold it to the kid across the street who the first day he had it...almost wrapped it around a pole in front of the high school.

The emblems and SS rear panel came from Eddie Hopper and Cone Chevrolet's parts inventory. I had to look long and hard to find the rear panel.

The 12 bolt rear came from a 1969 Z28 that was one of my mechanic friends when I worked at Hardin Olds...whose son DID wrap the fathom green Z28 around a pole https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif


Pictures were taken at the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals West (at the same show as Nova Joe's way cool Nova was at. Notice the Street Machine Nationals West sticker on the wing vent). 'My car' wanted to be 'his car' when it grew up! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: What was your first car????
 

1981 Custom Deluxe C-10 truck. 305 auto. It was a very nice truck, and I sold it at 17 to get the 99 Camaro SS in my sig. I see my truck from time to time. It has been rolled over on its side, vent windows knocked out, door mirrors ripped off, the 305 was grenaded, the rallyes that were on it were sold, and all of the AC vents and speakers were cut out of the dash with a sawzall!!! I was like why????

Re: What was your first car????
 

My wife and I bought a 69 RS/Z-28 Hugger orange with Black Houndstooth for 1800.00. She drove it to work every day and I would street race it on weekends and tear the hell out of it. Sold it 2 years later for 2000.00 and thought that was easy I am going to do this some more. And so the journey started or a nightmare as she likes to call it.

Re: What was your first car????
 

1972 Buick Skylark, 350 4 barrel, Gold/black vinyl top. Parents bought it new and I acquired it in high school. So many memories.

Re: What was your first car????
 

Still have my first car.
http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/data/500/Old69.jpg

Had 79K on the odometer when I bought it. Paid $1500 for it. Already had a safety inspection, all I had to buy was insurance and license plates.

Even came with an extra pair of SS wheels (same date code as what was on the car) with Firestone Town and Country snows mounted on them.

Re: What was your first car????
 

My first was a 1977 Camaro LT (gold with tan interior). Paid $2200 for it in 1986. Wrecked it bad within a year and Insurance company totaled it.

Will have to find photo.

Looking for 1977Z28.

Re: What was your first car????
 

my first car cost me 650.00 in 1977 and it was a 1970 Dodge challenger SE 383 four barrel and was plum crazy purple,rally gauges,small back window,automatic,roof console with warning lights door ajar low fuel and seat belts.A lot of car for a kid. Had lots of tickets too LOL.

Re: What was your first car????
 

There were no Camaro's or Chevelle's when I got my first car. Me and my friend Kenny bought a '55 Ford when we were in 7th grade.
Primed it flat black with a $9.99 paint gun - buckets, console and vacuum gauge from a late model Grand Prix and '60 Dodge taillights.
Solid welded in a 430 Lincoln mated to a 3 speed, pulled off the front bumper and cranked in a half dozen spring blocks and terrorized
the back roads late at night for weeks till we blew it up!
Gave it to the local high school shop class.
Moved on to a white/white '57 Chevy convertible with a red gut. Hate to tell you what happened to that!!

Re: What was your first car????
 

1968 SS427 Impala L72. Man....I wish I wasn't sooo stupid and sold that car! It was a Motion Prepped car with 4.10 gears, black interior and silver exterior. WHAT a bad-ass big car this was!
