Mine was totaled but if I could find a low miles 1980 Chevy Chevette for what I paid in 1985, I'd be all on it. |

Quoted: Just found my first vehicle that I bought with my own money at 15. I delivered newspapers and cleaned horse stalls for months to pay for this pickup. Just found it on Facebook Market place. In much worse shape than I sold it 21 years ago.  Door looks effed https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/185965/Screenshot_20230719_200220_Facebook_jpg-2891944.JPG Looks like the roof is caved in https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/185965/Screenshot_20230719_200238_Facebook_jpg-2891945.JPG Senior photos in 1999.

My first truck was a 1969 F100 that I rebuilt the 360 engine in while in HS and is was a good truck. Yes would buy if not rusted out. My first car was a 1973 Buick Regal that became mine later when my dad died when I was 12. Really nice car but by the time I got rid of it was already rusting out and that's living here in the south all the time. Nope

Yes. I recently looked for it. I was going through storage and found a shoebox that probably hadn't been opened in over 20 years. First thing I saw was my old radar detector. Second thing was a "Ride the Lightening" cassette. Knew immediately it was my old glove box contents. Found my last registration and the VIN. Did a few lookups, but the trail ends around 2001.
OP, if you don’t buy back your truck, you will regret it. I'd rather have my beat-up, underpowered Camaro back than have a new Ferrari. |

I dunno know.
Mine was a 1973 Comet, called the “green bomb” by my buds due to its olive color and rather perky 302 V8 engine. It was reliable for the 5 years I had it. Then my sister absconded with it. https://bangshift.com/bangshift1320/bangshift1320-online-find/this-1973-mercury-comet-is-stupid-clean-and-would-great-with-the-front-wheels-up/ |

No, I'd call the fucking sherriff, it's sitting in my garage and my # 2 is sitting in a Ryder truck box in my back yard!
 . 56 GMC 4x4 conversion and a 65 Malibu 4 door. I'd love to get both of them streetworthy and back on the road. But time and money always gets in the way. Everytime I get close, some calamity befalls me and back to square one. |

I sure as hell would. Unfortunately I know it was destroyed in a few demo derbys.
It was a 1988 Plymouth Grand Fury ex cop car. Souped up 318 with a posse rear end. Damn thing would be sideways in no time if throttle was burped. I miss that car every day and have tried to find another with no luck without spend $5000 Paid $1000 for it virtually rust free in 1996 This is basically what it looked like.  Attached File |

Not that anyone will see this post at this point of the thread, but my first car likely no longer exist.
It was a 76 Firebird I bought out of a salvage yard and spent quite a bit of time and money, with much help from my dad, putting it back together, around 1980. Once I got out of high school, I bought a 77 Trans Am, and my younger brother inherited the Firebird, then wrecked it. |

My first was my grandmothers car handed down to me. ‘65 Fairlane. I parked it because my parents raised hell when I wanted to “chop it all up” and install a manual trans in it. Yea, cut a fucking hole in the floor. Told them keep the damned car and shove it up their ass as far as I care.
If course my older brother being the favorite, they let him trade it off for some bodywork he never got done. Last I heard of that car the floor pans rotted out and it went to the junkyard for scrap. Had one hell of a 289 in it too.  Would I buy it back? I doubt it. Too much bad family history. Don’t think my heart would be in it. Now the one that got away was the car I replaced it with. My ‘73 Z-28. Still kicking my ass over letting that one go. But I had just met my future wife and cars didn’t mean shit to me anymore. If I could find this one, I’d do everything I could to get it back. After the fiasco with my parents with the Fairlane, I was free to do as I pleased with MY car. So I cut the roof off of it and installed a late model T top roof. No shit, had it cut loose on early Sunday morning. Went and got dad to help me lift it off and get it out of my way and set the T top roof in place. Of course setting the new one down, nothing lined up because I had to tuck the roof skin under the quarter panel edge. Dad being the asshole he was…”Yea, you done fucked up a perfectly good car.” Come back in an hour old man. Hour later he came out the back door grinning like a jackass chewing on a briar bush just hoping I didn’t have it fixed. He walked in to the roof welded in place and the first coat of dynaglass filler over the welds with the windshield and rear glass sitting in place and the T tops installed. All I could think was “fuck you old man” but I didn’t say it. He walked in, gave a “humf” grumble under his breath and turned away and walked back into the house. Nothing. Not a “great job!” Or a “Wow, I had no idea you had those skills” even though I was a bodyman.
