Mine was a 1964 Plymouth Barracuda. It was my brother's first, my sister's second and then mine. It had a 273ci V8 with Torqueflight trans and not much of anything else. I found a picture on-line, even though there were cameras back in the day.

1978 Trans Am, Martinique Blue. 400 w/4spd manual no T-Tops.

Ok, I'll play. This should be good for some rep! lol

My first car,

1979 Chevrolet Chevette
Color- School bus yellow
HP - 70

I bought the car in 1989 or 1990 for $800 certified. I beat the living crap out of that car for the short period of time I owned it. I replaced the engine, trans, and exhaust for $140 all in. Beat on it some more, then replaced the timing chain. Then beat on it some more and sold it before going to college for $600 as-is. That car owed me nothing! lol

I will now hang my head in shame... My first car was brutal compared to what I'm seeing here!

This is not a picture of my car, but it did look just like this.

In 1980, my first car was a 1972 Datsun 510. Great car for $500.

Mine was a '80 T-Bird with a 302, and a 2 bbl, all of 134 hp when new, i got it in '92. And Sh!t brown outside and in. Not a pic of mine, but you get the idea.
Had to put about 900 into repairs before i could safely drive it, car was free at least. lasted 2 weeks after fixing everything, tranny went BOOM!


My second car was a '79 Lemans, which i still have. This is from when i first got it, it was later lowered back to earth and the 305 was swap for a 454, with a nice set of wheels.

That's one of those cars you wish you still had. They are worth good coin now!

1981 280ZX, got it when I was 15 and had to sell it before I turned 16. Found a ton of rust in the car. :(
