in one of the other threads, people started talking about their first car. was your first car an f-body? was it even a sports-like car?

mine was a 1972 pontiac gran ville. two doors, bench seats, huge trunk and 455 cubic inches under the hood. i didn't own an f-body until 1989. since then, i've only been without an f-body for 2 years.

First car that was really mine was my '85 Camaro. 2.8/A4 - body was trash, interior was near mint though.

I bought a 1982 firebird se. I had it about a week and noticed it kept losing all it's coolant. It turned out it had a cracked block. I took it back to the dealer I bought it from and used that car as my down payment on a new 1987 firebird formula that I still own

Firebird67dude · 01-31-2006, 10:08 PM

1967 Firebird. Nice Yellow color. 350, 350 trans. Best car ever!!

ar0ck · 01-31-2006, 10:30 PM

A Blue & Silver 1985 Trans Am with a 305/700R4 then it became a 1985 Trans Am with a 350/Th350 combo.

The Fixer · 01-31-2006, 10:55 PM

My first ride was a rusty 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo. 350-4bbl, TH350 trans. I bought it from the original owner, and it only had 48K miles on when I bought it in 1990. It lasted me 8 months; I beat the death outta that poor thing!

Someday, when I'm rich, I'll own another, but it'll be slammed to the weeds on 18" wheels, and have an injected 502 with a Richmond 6-speed. Hey, we can dream, right?

Savage_Messiah · 01-31-2006, 10:59 PM

Many of you know about my first pimp car, the 95 Taurus!! Sometimes I really miss that car.

bad64chevelle · 02-01-2006, 12:00 AM

1979 Ford Granada. Black 4 door with a tan vinyl top and a tan interior. I could shut the engine off walk into wawa grab a drink and by the time i got back the motor would be still running (sorta). The thing would diesel for a LONG time. That was the car I drove when I got my license. I had the Chevelle (Which was my true first car, but it wasnt done) I then moved onto my 92 Cherokee 4.0HO which ran till the end of Senior year of HS then the engine leaked oil from the rear main seal I would get five bucks of gas and five bucks of oil when i went to the gas station. Sold that and got the Camaro.

Dark_Knight7096 · 02-01-2006, 12:09 AM

1986 Lincoln Towncar. That thing was awesome! The engine blew in 1991, the previous owner (a friend of my fathers) has a good friend that works in the R&D section of (what is now) SVT at ford. They had a bunch of 5.0L left over they were getting rid of they were HO engines that were used as test motors in what would become the 1993 Mustang Cobra, so my car was treated to one of them. When i finally received it, it had about 50K on that engine, so i proceeded to warm it up a little bit, exhaust work, work a few others. The exhaust note on that thing was NASTY. I had limited funds but still that car did a high 15-low 16, that's not too bad all things considering a stock 2003 Marauder does the quarter in mid 15s. I wish i still had that car and the money i do now. You'd be looking at a 13 second towncar, especially with the 351 in my shed looking for a new home. I miss that car
