First car? Nah.
First pickup, a 1985 Ford stepside, 4wd, dark canyon red, with a 351HO and C6? Oh yes.

No way. My first car was totalled. Lady driving a minivan going 40mph plowed into the rear end and obliterated it. Entire truck space was flattened out, roof buckled, couldn't open the rear doors (had 3 people back there), and the front end got messed up to because I got pushed into another car.

1978 Mercury Zephyr, I'd probably pass on buying it.
I would like to see if the front windows rolled up and the back one rolled down though. That would be a feat after letting it go 40yrs ago. |

My first car was a 1968 Ford Thunderbird sedan with suicide doors in the back. It was a cool car and one in good shape would probably be worth a decent amount but I wouldn't want it now. The second car though, I would buy it back in a heartbeat. It was a 1969 Camaro Z28 Rally Sport, it was a blast to drive but after starting college I couldn't afford to keep gas in it when gas got up over $1/gallon so I sold it and bought a VW Beetle.

 I sure would. I paid $3500 for this 1969 Camaro a few weeks before my 14th birthday. It had a warmed over small block and a 4 speed. I sold it four years later to a guy in Missouri for $8500 to go to college. I do not have the vin, I do have an old plate number. I would love to buy it back. I loved that car. |

Fuck no. My first car was a 1986 Renault Sport Wagon that couldn’t get out of its own way. It’s top speed was like 30 miles an hour. It literally could not climb hills. At all. The only way it would climb a hill was if I was already coming down one, had the gas pedal on the floor and took a run at the next hill and there was no guarantee it would even make it. I literally had to plan my routes to avoid hills.
Now I’d buy my third car which was a 1999 Dodge Neon Highline, but that’ll never happen since it was likely crushed. And I’d buy my 6th vehicle back which is a 2013 Ford F-150 XLT. I traded that in last year and every once in a while I do a vin search to see where it is but I haven’t found it yet. |

My eight year old Ford Sunliner was a rust bucket when I sold it. The 352 was pulled and installed in a 56 Fairlane. The body was scrapped, so no.
I still search every so often for my 77 El Camino,so,far no luck. Sold that in 1983. |

in 1992, I bought a 1972 Olds Cutlass S hardtop holiday coupe for $750. 350Rocket/Th350 trans. Someone had driven it out to VA from CA and it still had pine straw in the cowl and CA tags in the trunk. It had some cobbled together bondo work in the hood and driver's fender but, no rust anywhere. It had been painted a metallic orange with all the chrome blacked out. It was sitting on staggered American racing torque thrusts 14's up front 15's in the rear. I added the right kind of buckets from a '70 Monte Carlo, MSD 6a, new shocks and springs.
I drove the shit out of that car and learned a lot. Sold it in 1997 when my folks were moving and the funds needed to go towards school to my older sister's boyfriend who got me into cars in the first place. Prior to losing touch with him, the front clip was replaced, and he was installing a stout 455Rocket with a Th400 trans. I would love another A-body but, prices have gotten stupid. I need to get motivated and work on my '92 Mustang Gt 5.0 5spd that has only been owned by my brother and I....currently slumbering in my garage. |

I still have my first truck, a '97 Mazda B2600i 4wd. We also had one of those B1600 or 1800 trucks with an auto trans, wasn't exactly a speed demon. My younger brother rolled it, but it actually survived...beat out the dents in the roof, and it didn't miss a beat. |
