Steven Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Yup. I'm stealing someone's thunder here, but what was your first car? 1980 Chevy Chevette. It had a 4 speed and 'sporty' stripes, so I guess it was the S/S version. My friends called it Roadkill, and it was atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowtechsWife Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Re: What was your first car 1980 Ford Fairmont - it had been in a wreck with a house ... Paid $90 dollars for it - It cost more for the daily dose of oil then it did for gas, however after 4 months it decided to catch on fire. Who knew at 17 that a quart of oil a day wasn't a good thing.

ruttinbuc Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Re: What was your first car My sister and I shared a 1965 Corvair Monza! The thing was great on gas but wow, did it suck up the oil. We then moved up to a 68' Chevy BelAir. What a junker that was. The first car of my own was a 1972 Canary Yellow Nova Rally Sport. A 350 cu. in. engine that was punched out to a 383 was built from scratch by a friend who has since passed away. He was one of those guys who could listen to a tuned motor and tell you what it needed. He had that car jumping off the ground in second gear and passing everything but a gas station. He told me to be careful with it, but I managed to smack it up after hitting an island of stones while going through the gears and losing it to a tree! Alcohol played a part in that.

johnf Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Re: What was your first car 1978 Ford LTD 2 door. It passed from my brother to me. My brother had trashed the car and gave itseveral large "love bumps". The interior was a little less than bad but had some of the orginal vinal. We called it "the beast" because it looked so bad. He did do me a big favor by blowing up the original engine, I think it was a 302 or 289. My dad found a goood deal on a 400 big block and one of my friends had a holly 750 that we put on top of it. It could smoke the tires for 50 yards and could get air over the hills on the dirt road I lived on if I drove it over 110. It was fun lining up beside brand new TA's anc camaros with this old beat up POS and blowing them away. I'm amazed that I lived through that car.
