Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What was your first car or pickup?

1970 Chevy impala, nothing special, kind of boring, but it got me where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do and I was 17.

'67 Impala fast back. L79 325 hp

66 chevy truck with a 6 banger and 3 on the tree.

1953 Chev sedan - 6 cyl, 3 on the tree...

'52 Chevy Powerglide Deluxe.
With fender skirts and visor.
It had ALL the options - radio AND heater!

After a short time with a '65 Corvair (90 hp), I got a '68 Ford Ranger - it's been pickups every since.

I inherited my Grandfather's '67 Buick Electra 225.


I drove it for the summer after I graduated high school and the gave it to my dad to sell when I went off to college. I didn't want to be everybody's taxi, and that was pretty much what I'd become in the short time I'd had the vehicle.

‘64 VW Microbus, not the original motor, 40 wild horses unleashed when ya got on the gas 😎

A 65 Impala sport sedan, 283, 2 speed auto. I bought it for $1 from a local insurance agent and boy scout leader who wanted to help out someone who didn't have a car or the funds to buy one. I did some body work and my uncle sprayed it for me. Frame was sketchy, but it got me most of the way through college.i have it's cousin in the garage today - a 65 4-door hardtop.

Dad had a bit of a collection of spare vehicles for me and my brother to drive.

Primary for me - 88 Chevy P/U - 2wd, 4.3 v6, Stick with bench seat. Only options I think it had were 2 tone paint, cab market lights and FM radio
Back ups - 89 Wrangler (all the tops, hard/soft/bimini and doors to match each), 85 Buick Grand Parisienne

First one I paid for with my own savings/money - 1984 Ford F150. 4x4 300i6, 4 speed that had that uber granny 1st. Vinyl everything, AM radio. Was the CHEAPEST F150 one could get in 84 that still had 4x4. 80k miles on it, paid 3k for it. Got 4.5-6 mpg.

1972 Chevy Blazer.olive drab with a white top. Used to be a Montana fish and game vehicle.

First car was a '66 Chevy Impala. First truck was a '68 Chevy pickup.

Wow - stirs some memories. 1939 Pontiac 4door sedan, straight 8 with
3 speed shifter on the floor. 17 inch wheels were helpful on Vermont's
back roads hadn't been plowed yet.Could of held a dance between the
front and back seats. Bought it 1959 for $80 with 90,000mi, sold it
1961 2000mi for $125. Probably only car I ever made money on.

'69 Chevelle SS 396 and 4 on the floor. $700.00

I trashed the engine and burnt the rear tires off of it. Had to put a junk yard engine in it and some used rear tires on it. It started costing my old man money, so he made me sell it. Bought a '70 Camaro RS with a 307 and an automatic for $700.00. I took better care of it until I wrecked it. Boys will be boys.

‘62 Impala

'87 Toyota SR5 extended cab 4x4, gray, bought it used in '94. Actually still see it on the road on occasion.
