My very first car was a 1966 malibu "convertible" which was actually a hardtop with the roof cut off. My dad gave it to me when I was 14 so I would have something to do when I was hanging around his shop all summer. It had a 250 L6 and 3-speed manual. The PO who cut off the top also replaced the carpet with astroturf and punched drain holes in the floor.
The first car I had that I could actually drive (legally) was a 1971 camaro with a 350, 2bl, headers and straight exhaust. I paid $500 for it. It was black, with a vinyl top, and blue Z28 stripes painted all the way down to where the grille should've been. It had no wipers, no heat, and a cracked windshield. It was ugly, loud, slow, and was the only car I've ever had that I could drive through the mall parking lot without people walking out in front of the car.
I couldn't have been happier!
I'll post pics later.
