Your very first car...
« on: February 19, 2008, 06:09:46 PM »
I didn't want to post twenty entries above so I opted for what I opted for so use Other if I didn't cover your car :P

I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone owned as their first car and Hoff isn't invited to this poll ;D  j/k

OK, post up you car crazy guys and gals.  My first car was a 1972 Buick Riveria with a 455.

EDIT:  I added pics below of what it looked like. Pics were stolen from an ebay add!

2000 Pontiac Sunfire. I always thought of it as a super super wimp version of the newer firebirds.

1974 Chevy Caprice Classic Estate wagon, the one with the clamshell door/window combo. ::)  400 SBC.  That thing got called everything from "the battle wagon" to the "concert cruiser" since it had two huge home stereo speakers in the back, and the fact it was always used to get packed with my friends on the way to rock concerts. 8)

Yep, a little plastic on the rear area with the back seat folded down and a little Wesson oil makes for an interesting (though messy) evening. ;)

1973 Chevy Impala with a 350 engine. I loved this car... the 350 just wouldn't die. Rust ate the body though.

1973 Chevrolet Chevelle SS , Nick named the "Gator-Moble"  green on green. Thank goodness it atleast had a 350sb that I later moded up with a few goodies, Double hump heads with 2.02/1.97 valves and a cam out of a 1973 Caprice Police Interceptor... by the time I was 19 years old I had about maxed out my driver liscence points.

First car was a hugger orange 69 Camaro Rallye Sport.  Had it a month and wrapped it around a sign totalling it.  Wish I had it now.
