Shortly after getting my DL, I got off of the school bus one day to find my great-uncle Norman in the driveway standing next to his pickup. He tossed me the keys and said, "Give me a ride home in your truck."

He had just bought a new '75 F-100, same shade of green. When he passed in 1989, I bought that truck from his estate.

He was quite a man. Was a well known auctioneer in south Jersey. In his will, he left $300,000 to the Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mill, NJ.

I had one of those, but a '72.
And you're right about the gas mileage.

49 1/2 Ford F1 flathead V8 three speed in the floor. I was 13 Dad dropped me off where it was and I worked on it cleaned the gas tank (had hay in it) out got the brake’s pumped up and put a sorta fresh battery in it (6 volt positive ground). Liberal doses of Mystery Marvel oil in the right places and fresh gas fired it up but the clutch was stuck. Dad showed up and we dragged it down a dirt road and freed it up. Topped the master cylinder off and Dad told me to take the back road home (about 50 miles) as he had to go to another job. I restored that truck and sold it 5 years later.

I agree! A buddy of mine had a red 66 with a built 390 in it that would really run.

I drove it into the ground, and replaced it with a 74 Buick Le Sabre w/ a 350. But within a year, I had another Celica in the driveway. Just more fun than a whole sack full of monkeys.

I learned to drive in a 53 ford f100 in the hay field , the first car that was truly mine was a 1960 chevy bel - air

1st one that was actually mine was a '58 Ford Fairlane station wagon. It was a great college car.

Mine had the 3 on the tree standard transmission with the 6 cylinder engine, too. Had the Floor starter button / pedal, also.

I bought it from a neighboring farmer. I think I payed him $250 bucks. It had been setting out behind their barn for several years. The transmission was locked up so I had to go to the local wrecking yard and buy another for $25 bucks. Layed under it for a couple of hours in the field putting in the new transmission and I was good to go. That was in 1975. I was 15 also. 😬

first road going car... 71 Buick Riviera, 455 4brl, Metallic Red, beige vinyl top, bucket seats with floor shift console... bro bought it as a repo from the insurance salvage pool when i was 15 in 78... worked my ass off to get it paid for and pimped before i got my license... before that, at 11or12, bro gifted me a half dozen 62-64 Chevy II Nova's... at 13/14 i got the best one (a 63 2dr HT) running and drove it around the salvage yard...

It was a surplus 1963 Plymouth station wagon from the Soil and Water Conservation District. It was an olive drab, survey car with not one option. Didn't even have an AM radio or back seat. It had a slant six engine that was fairly reliable, but the three on the column was so worn it was a bugger to drive and not get hung up. My twin brother and I learned a lot about keeping a car going with that piece of junk.

‘64 Impala SS. 327/300. Maroon w light sand top. 1970, Jr. in HS. Had waaay to much fun in that car.

1969 Chevrolet Impala, 4-door, 255hp 350, automatic, pretty pedestrian, but reliable.

68 Camaro SS; 350 4 speed

It had been sitting idle for a few years when we got it. First thing was to do a valve job to get it running again. Had been wrecked twice - lots of Bondo on that car. Paid $250 for the car.

I quickly learned why Dad got that car for me -
The back seat was waaaay to small to do anything with a girl.

oh, and just one more thing... are you related to Columbo?...

41 Ford Panel Truck.

83 Mustang which I totaled while deer hunting.

1962 Chevy Impala . Rebuilt the engine added paint,wheels , tires ,exhaust and stereo.

65 Mustang fastback, T-boned and totalled in about 3 months.

Ditto.
Mine was red, and I will never forget those tail lights.
Nor the 8-track tape player.
It cost $600, used car lot, in 1973 and I made payments of $50 per month on it,
when gasoline was about 29 cents per gallon.
I was a working man of 18 y.o. after I dropped out of West Point,
after Nixon, who appointed me, announced that he was dropping out of Vietnam.
Word came down in Nov. 1972, but dang didn't they make a mess of it for 2-1/2 years more.
Sort of Bidenesque that was.

60's Mustangs were cheap second hand cars in the 70's.

First car was a faded black '49 Ford 4-dr sedan that had been very lightly side-swiped down the passenger side. Paid $65 for it. Had an excellent flathead V-8 and 3-speed column shift. Soon I found a '51 2-door Victoria pillarless coupe for sale in a gas station. That had a perfect body and interior, but the engine and trans were shot. Bought that for $150 and swapped in the engine and trans from the '49.

1964 Buick Le Saber with the wildcat engine. It was a beast!!!

1972 Monte Carlo with a 402 cid Big Block.
When I was 15, The Old Man give me a choice between 4 cars that would need about the same amount of work to put on the road.
When I saw those great big valve covers under the hood of that Monte Carlo, it was an easy choice!😎
Worked on that car for a year before I could drive it.
Dad was a little worried about me having that big hammer of a motor.
But I took great pride in that car, and I only Drag Raced it a little !
She was more my baby than hot rod, but it was nice having both in the same vehicle!
Reon

Same. Mine was a convertible. My parents gave it to me in Fall 1971 when I was a junior in high school. (I graduated in 1973.)

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.

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

'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.

The frame and running gear will be original, with a fiberglass body a friend in Texas is making for me. No fenders, "wide 5" wheels, flathead Ford V8 engine, a single bucket seat, B-17 seat belt, and a roll cage. The hauler is a 51 GMC 3 ton with a 12 foot flat bed, a 270 6 cylinder engine, 2 speed rear axle, and a 3 speed Brownie auxiliary transmission.

A lot of you guys had really cool first cars. Me, not so much. A 1975 Chevy Impala 4 door 350 with a 2 barrel. If you flipped the air cleaner lid, it sounded cool. The rear seat floorboards were rusted out, so the bombardier sat in the back seat and dropped the m-80’s while the navigator lit them.

82 Buick Skylark with a 4-speed...it died a horrible engine failure death about a month after I bought it from a guy my dad worked with back then.

I promptly purchased a 71 Mustang with a 302 which I drove until the end of my freshman year in college. I got in a lot of trouble with that car. But back then $2000 bucks bought a lot of fun. After I bought it I found it had likely been in at least a couple accidents. Bondo all over the rear quarters. So I dug into it and started fixing it up. In the end, I ran out time and patience and my dad bought it from me for my brother, had the exterior professionally restored and it stayed in the family a couple more years.

The engine bay in that Mustang was enormous.

My first dedicated vehicle was a 1962 Chevrolet carryall/suburban with ?16" split rim wheels, 3 speed manual transmission and ?261 CI inline 6. Sturdy, lots of ground clearance, spacious rear seat and lots of cargo room. A convenient vehicle for a dorm dwelling college student.

My first new vehicle was a '72 VW van which required front disc pads every 10k miles and routine valve adjustments. It was succeeded by a '69 Ford panel van with an inline 6, 3 speed manual transmission, and commercial plates when I started grad school. I found the commercial plates to be a real asset allowing me to park in loading zones and other restricted spots when scooting over to class from work.

You guys are killing me, 1971, got a girl pregnant, (my future ex) my dad said “drop your motorcycle off at the dealer and I’ll make up the difference on a car for you”.

1972 dodge duster. 225 slant six, that would not die. My sister had a car load of girls in it and the leaf springs came right thru the trunk. 3 speed on the floor. Clutch got so bad I couldn’t make it out of a buddies driveway with a hairpin turn up a hill to get out. So I sold it to my sisters boyfriend for whatever he had in his wallet, which was 21 bucks. 10 minutes later he put a hockey puck thru the rear side window.

I wish, my first car was a Volkswagon bug I bought for $50. Drove it for two years. Next one was a 63 Impala Supersport I bought in 67 for $1100. Drove it like a madman for five years.

67 Ford XL fastback, 390, C-6 auto trans. (ask me how i know) bucket seats, green with a black vinal top. I beat that poor car to death and had way to much fun in it until one night, to much vodka and orange pop ended it's time. Sure wish i had that car back now.
