I'm in the process of digitizing 50 years of slides and in doing it I came across pics of my first truck. A 1966 ford pickup that I got when I turned 15. My dad ad I did a full restoration .rebuilt the straight 6,did all new bodywork and paint and interior,[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3] dig the shag carpet and the 8 track player. Man that was so long ago and I wish I still had the truck.Let's see your first rides :thumbup:

thats sad a nice car. funny my truck got totaled and written off as well ,not my fault
-
First car was a 1970 440 GTX but sadly I have no pics. I have had two dozen Mopar musclecars and I don't think I have pix of any of them. Too busy driving 'em i guess.
-
First car was an '82 mazda rx7, it got towed from being parked on the street before I even finished the repairs. Never got to even drive it.
-
This was my first car. 1964 VW bug. 1600cc. Fun little car. Wish I never would have gotten rid of it. I was trying my hand at getting rid of the oxidation which is why the doors are red and the rest is orange.

Got it when I was 14 as a roller, was a birthday gift from my old man. Finished the drivetrain when I was 17 and started driving it junior year in hs. 700 horse bbc 496 backed by a th400 and a limited slip 3.55 12 bolt rear end. And surprisingly never got a ticket in it.

The year was 1997 in 10th grade with a 97 BMW m3 slammed >:D

1986 T-bird turbo coupe. Inline 4 banger with a turbo and a 5-speed.
Pretty fun to drive, handled well. But once I would get to a hill, the turbo was no
help and you knew you were driving a 4 cylinder.

Looks like a 72 Chevelle because of the front turn signal lights. 71 had a bar through the middle of them and I believe 70 was differant all together.

My first ride in around 89. I got it in Oklahoma in a field and scraped 4 coats of paint of with razor blades took over a year to get looking good and a buddy talked me into entering it in car shows around the Phoenix area. Sold it in early 90's cause of the got married thing..... It was a 72 Chevelle convertible and that was the last year for convertibles and only alittle over 2,000 were made as a malibu I believe if I remember correctly. 350 roller bored out 30 over, HEI, 350 trans w/ shift kit and 2000 stall converter, limited slip 383s. It was a fun car and got lots of looks.

could only tell my "70" from the ass end....square tail lights. awesome American muscle except mine was built for a Sunday school teacher...lol ???

Nothing interesting, my first ride is the truck I drove home just a few minutes ago. 2002 base model silverado crank windows, no carpet... but a bad ass a/c. It was totaled three years ago and parked in the side yard for more than a year, state farm cut me a check for 11k and I bought out back for 1800. I pieced it back together on craigslist for a grand and had it painted. It was my first and I couldn't bear the thought of her being in a salvage yard with dudes picking parts.
I was t boned by a lesbian driving a Honda crv for no good reason... At least I didn't have to explain to my dad that I got rear-ended by a gay guy. The resto consisted of a rocker panel from lmc, front door off another total from Craig's list, aftermarket front driver fender from local shop with the cheapest bid, a rear door from craigslist and a paint job for cheap from a friend in the business on the parts replaced only.

I still have my first car, got it in 1996 when I was 16. A 1969 Chevelle, at the time was a 305 small block chevy out of an 1980 camaro, turbo 400, and a 10 bolt. Nowadays its a little faster, 421 CI small block, and running deep in the 11's on pump gas and driven 50 miles to the track.

First 4 wheel ride was a 78 Dodge van, bought it new.
Was only making $3.25 an hour, up from $2.65 where I started a couple months before.

First ride was a beat up '73 Dodge Club Cab 4x2 pops gave me......Slant 6 with "three on the tree".....Loved that truck, couldn't break it no matter how stupid I tried. Damn thing is probably still running out there somewhere...... Tailgate was held on by bungee cords, later built a flat bed for it out of 4x6's that out-weighed the truck, but that's another story.......In my Junior year in HS I bought a '73 Nova SS (Somewhere Mom has pictures of it....never made it out of primer/bad brown original paint before I wrecked it). It was blown up when I bought it ($300 at the time). So I made a deal for a 427 from the guy we used to get engines from for pops dump trucks, etc, rebuilt it and threw a tunnel ram on it and a 12 Bolt rear....and a few months later drove it through a Beer Distributor store street racing when an axle broke.........Problem was, is wasn't open at the time......Fitting, I guess. Did fix it and sell it later to fund the '69 Firebird 400 Convertible I drive for a few years later......sold that to fund Divorce #1, and regretted doing so ever since.
First New car was an '89 Turbo Grand Prix. Had previously bought my wife (At the time) a Grand Am with a Quad-4 (VERY under rated engine, DAMN that thing would run!) and needed sumpin' faster. Quad-4 Grand Am was STILL faster, if you must know......1/4 mile time slips here to prove it here somewhere, but ex-wife handed me my ass at Quaker City Drag Strip 3 out of 4...... ;)

LOL! Brad, was the lot sold out of Pacers??? O0
I shouldn't say anything. Good friend of mine had a Pacer in HS. We made fun of himmmmmmmm! Constantly!
Looking back, that was kinda stupid because he was the only one we knew with a running car to take us to NAPA for parts to get ours running all the time.........

Yup, 70 had double headlight, 71 had a single headlights with a single bar across the grill, 72 had the 4 stainless bars across the grill.
My first car was a '72 El Camino. Had the console shifter in SS dash, but was a 350 2 barrel. I still got in plenty of trouble.
