im curious as to what some of you had for your first cars....beat up, multi-colored....it doesnt matter if you dont have pics just throw out a description...i have a vivid imagination...as for me...

1968 Ford F-100 LWB
240cid inline 6
3 on the tree(originally, moved to floor shift)
Hedman Header w/ Purple Hornie glasspacks dumped in front of the rear-end
Loudest inline six in the metro-plex...GUARANTEED!!

i miss my truck....
 
76 F-100

1979 grill, 33"s, 302 miss that truck too. Maybe one day I'll buy it back from my dad and give it the treatment she so deserves.

When we rebuilt the motor many moons ago, I had decided I'd wanted the truck some green color. The one in the engine bay. Then somewhere down the road I came across a new chip book that had a new metallic red so we sprayed the back of the cab and drivers door in that color. I think that was when I joined the Air Force and that was pretty much the last of the body work.

The 1998.5 Contour SE, bought for my sister's and my use in high school.
Purchased in March 2001 with 24K miles on the odo. Some pics here (from the sig).

My first car "titled in my name" was a 1995 Probe GT, bought in college (2002). Shortly after, it fell apart and was sold, and the Contour was given to me.
 
'69 Pontiac GTO green ext. and green interior. 400 cid, turbo 400 trans. non Ram Air.

haha that was my second car a 68 pontiac gto verdero green w/ white interior and hurst duel gate -his/hers shifter
my first was a 65 pontiac bonneville white w/black interior 389 c.i. th350 trans
 
1978 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, faded grey with some rust, and spot where the red primer was starting to show through. 425 big block caddy engine choked by emissions equipment, wire wheel covers, and enough room to fit at least 4 or 5 of my friends comfortably. Bought her for $600 cash when I was 15. I have pics around the house, I'd just have to scan them, no digital cameras back in 94-95, lol.
 
Early 70's Maverick and the 72 LTD. That front seat was plenty of room for 2 chics and my full head of hair.

Damn I used to love smoking Chevy Monza's with it..

Tottaled (no it didn't explode after impact).

Would probably still be on the road (somewhere) if it wasn't wrecked.
No pictures.. but I found this online:

Yes, the '68-'69 GTOs are great. I always wanted to find a '64 Goat, but was never able to find a fixer-upper in my price range.
