What was your First Car?

It would have had to be the AWD GSX because it didn't have a turbo or 2.0. I remember it had a 1.9L

 

1958 Willes Wagoneer. Green and white. Big and boxy. Hand me down from a great uncle. Flathead straight six they would put in tractors, or perhaps that's where it came from. Used as a farm vehicle and designed for that. Wonderful ventilation when you pushed the lever down and the cabin scoop opened up.

 

The front of that car is like a giant Chevy symbol. But its a Ford.

 

Never thought of it but you're right. To a teenager in the 80s it was cooler than any chevy (other than the old cameros) back then.

 

They had either a 1.8l or 2.0l. Never a 1.9l. Only reason I know is because I've built up many mitsubishis. The turbo vr4 only was made 90-92 and only few thousand each year. Also had 4 wheel steering. Cool rare cars.

 

64 GMC Handi-Van, bought for $500 in 1970. Mine was similar looking but took 2-3 qts. of oil every fillup. Didn't own it very long.

 

1971 mustang was my first.

 

Chevy Monza 4 speed in “Brown”.
Had a 350 stuffed inside. Paid $500 cash . Had a rod knock and learned about thick oil and saw dust. Mmm hmmm 16 yr old me learned how to get f’d Over and take it like a man.

 

That's really pretty cool

 

That one wasn't it, but it's close. It was a beast with the 351 Cleveland in it.

 

I can see it tricked out somehow.

 

Never got a chance to. My dad got t-boned by a Cadillac in the driver door. Bent the frame. Wasn't worth repairing. My mom sold the car for 500 bucks. The engine did have a few mods from previous owner the engine alone would have sold for 2500 to 3000 bucks. I was 17

 

That thing is bitchen.

 

Found you one bill

 

My first and second cars. 1984 and 1971 Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams. Purchased in 1998 and 2000, respectively. Had them both during high school. This picture was taken last year right before I drove the '84 onto a trailer and took it to the junkyard.

 

Can't recall if it was a '93 or '95, but had the option between a 1991 Mustang or a 4Runner and I chose the 4Runner. I'd love to get back into a newer T4R one day!

Can't find any pictures of it sadly, but this was it essentially (minus the mud flaps and headlight guard bars)

 

You could have showed use a stock pic.

 

Well that's what it looked like. I had just enough money in HS (08-09) to put some big tires on
