59 Chevy 4 door with a BIG 6 in it.

But the car I'd like to think was my first car

First car I drove was my moms 88 Taurus. First car that I had under my name was a 1997 Mustang V6. Put BBK headers and flowmasters with no cats on it lol. That shit was OBNOXIOUS loud (and slow). Also added tints and a stereo system. It was a fun car for a 17 year old, chicks loved it, gas was only $1.50 a gallon, and it wasnt the same old Honda crap all the kids my age were driving.

1966 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD.

62 VW bug. I was living in Italy at the time while my NCO Dad was doing a 3yr tour in Vicenza, and bought it from a rotating soldier for $200. I was one of a handful of Army brats at the High School who had a POV. I drove that sucker all over Europe with my friends. Good times indeed.

63 Corvair when I was 13 in 1990. It was a project I never really did anything with. I traded it to an ex-cop for his old duty pistol 1911.

Holy crap. Mine as well. But in 1975.
Wish I could find pics. I rebuilt it, painted it white with 2 black racing stripes. Debadged it and put "LOTUS" decals on the lower panels. Idiots actually thought it WAS a Lotus.

1966 6 Volt VW Bug with broken drivers seat and holes in the floor boards. The seat was held up by a 50lb sack of calf feed. So needless to say the back floor grew oats and shit that was in the calf feed when it got wet.It was a beat hard and let loose of 2 pistons in a glorious Boom coming home from work one night

91 Dodge Dakota with the 318 V-8. It was a beast of an engine for a mini-truck.

I put in a 15" sub that took up most of the back seat and drove around setting around car alarms with it. I guess we were all stupid kids at some point

This was my second car. Yellow with the white vinyl top. Ghia.

Top speed about 78mph. Definitely one of the slowest cars ever.

1987 Chevette. I beat the crap out of that car and it kept going. I give it to my mother when I moved and it was dead within two months.

I learned to drive on an early '70s AMC Pacer.

Plymouth Sport Fury 2dr 383, I think it was a '73

It was a project car that I never got on the road, wound up selling it for parts

First car that I actually got on the road - 1966 Impala 283, mine looked identical right down to the hubcaps

Guy owed me $50 so he gave me the car as payment

Yep, Merkur, good old Ford of Germany.

I paid $3k for it in 1997, my first car at 16 years old. It was in the shop about half the time I had it. Sold it a few years later for $800. Fun car but such a POS. I will occasionally see one out on the road these days and I just wonder "How the hell is that car still running?"

That's a Mercury Comet. The Mercury tagged version of a Ford maverick.
