I'm in. You're being very generous. Thank you.

Not my first car ('56 Buick), I don't have any pictures of it but this is/was my favorite car. 1970 Olds 442. Ordered it in September of 1969. It showed up in October of '69 and I wrecked it the first time in November of '69. The color was #50 Bamboo. 455 ci, 365 hp hooked through a Turbo-Hydro automatic to a 3.42 posi-traction rear end. G70/14 tires and a Hurst Dual-Gate shifter. Two door hardtop of course and bucket seats.

I'm in, Steve.
Such a blurred history of old cars as a kid! ::facepalm:: Model A's, old Chevy's, Ford trucks, Jeeps all back there starting about 60 years ago. The one that I really liked was a Willys Jeep Station Wagon. When I went to boot camp my dad traded it for Peugeot so that I'd have a decent car to drive. I never had the desire for a real hot car, my brothers-in-law were into Corvettes and one had a 442, I always wanted to be in the woods so 4X4s were my choice. Here's the one my dad traded for the Peugeot, that was right before Parris Island in 1964. Look close behind the Jeep, there's my Buckskin horse that I sold a few years later in order to buy a diamond ring.

I'm in! That knife was my first EDC a long time ago. My first car is long gone but it was a 1955 Ford Customline, two door, 3 on the tree, overdrive, 272 V-8. Someone painted it yellow with black accents. The interior was the original blue and white. It was a graduation present from Dad and cost him $350. I wish I had it back, but.... what for? :shock:

My first car was almost exactly like that one. Same color too. Same specs 272, overdrive - the works!
Mine was a four door.

I paid 550.00 Canadian dollars for it in 1966.

It was a good car!

I’ll play! One of my favorite brands and patterns.

My first vehicle in 1993 was dad’s 1977 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe pickup. It what we pulled the horse trailer with and when I turned 16 it was what I got to drive. 350 v8, and when when we got it, it had a three on the tree. It kept wearing out clutches so dad had an automatic put in it. Great old truck. This isn’t it, but it’s close.

My first car is not so fancy as some of yous but I really, really loved it.
Wish I still had it.

I have a picture of it somewhere under a shade tree but it looks like this except
the top was cream color. Best gold exterior you have ever seen when polished.

Steve great idea and a cool knife. I don't know what my pappy was thinking when he brought this beautiful machine for a 16 year old boy but it only took me two months to reduce it to a crumpled up pile of parts. ::teary_eyes::

My reason for asking if anyone had a 66 or 67 GTO to pass along. This was my first, The Beast, with a couple of before and after pics. A 67 LeMans, the poor man's GTO. Bought in 81 after getting my first assignment to Wright-Patterson AFB. Yup, my barracks in the background. Got married, along comes our baby girl, and orders for Germany. Had to let it go. Got talking gas mileage one day and said I got 12 mpg, down hill, with a tailwind. She's a real beast on gas, I said. The name stuck.

The best mileage I ever got with my 442 was 14 mpg on the road. Had it 2½ years and the price of gas jumped to 43¢ per gallon so I traded it for a 1972 Chevy Monte Carlo that got 18 mpg. ::facepalm::

I’m in. Thank you for doing this. That’s really nice and generous of you.
I don’t have a picture of my car but here is one from the internet. A 1967 Buick Riviera. It was a hand me down. Got 8 miles to the gallon w/ a 430 quadrojet carb. It didn’t last 6 months before the timing chain broke and destroyed the engine.

I'm in, very cool of you.

This was almost my first car(not actual photo). My brother had a Porsche 914 and left it here in Iowa when he moved to California. He said it would be mine, but he had an emergency when I was 14 and had to sell it. I totally understand, but was bummed. It would have been a very cool first car.

The engine sat right in front of the rear axle, boy could that thing corner.

This is a 1964 VW Beetle. Mine was painted dark metallic green and had mag wheels instead of the factory wheels. I could drive all day on a dollar's worth of gas back then.

I had one of these from 1978-1994. I paid $5600 new and sold it for $6500. It was the only vehicle I ever had that didn't screw me. :roll:

Steve, very generous. I'll opt out and give the others a chance; but, post a pic of my first car. Well, not really a pic of my first car...but one sort of like it. 1962 Chevy Impala (about 13-14 years old, when I got it). Not as shiny and nice as this one and no fancy tires.$300...8mpg.

My first vehicle was a 1968 Chevy C20, straight six and three on the column. I bought it used from my Dad when I finished OCS and was heading to APG MD for ORD C OBC in 1976. Dad had used it for camping and pulling his boat, he bought a new one. I have a picture somewhere but I don’t know where it is - here is an advertisement I found on the internet, right color too. OH
