First car was a 1963 1/2 ford Galaxie 500, 390 V8, 3sp standard. Wish I still had it. Not this one but just about identical.

'68 Super Beetle. Had it for ten days and got rear ended by a Strato Chief that was doing 60 while I was sitting still. The engine ended up being an arm rest between the front seats. Off to the dump with that car. Good thing because that car had a drinking problem.

1972 Chevy Nova, 283 with a lumpy cam, loud exhaust, and a 2 spd Powerglide. pops wouldn't let me buy a car when I turned 16, he said I'd kill myself. but he let me buy a bike, a used '83 Honda 650 Nighthawk. rode that for a year or better and then bought the Nova from a buddy for $500. I was only 17, and pops gave me the boot. said if I was gonna kill myself, it wouldn't be while living under his roof....lol. pic is in front of my first very own place.....:D

61 Valiant. Slant 6, push button automatic. Paid 25 bucks for it in 1972. Now I drive an 07 Ranger Level 2 and the wife has an 08 Sante Fe Limited. No, I don't miss that old car at all,LOL.

My first car was a '80 Chevy Monza. I worked my arss off at my Dads machine shop to save up enough cash to buy it. Once I had it I drove the bag off the the thing for about 3 years until I bought my first Camaro. The Monza was a great hunting machine as well... not only for game birds... I stuffed my first Buck into the trunk and drove back to St.Albert to dress it. :D

Here's a shot of my first "truck". It's a '76 Chev short box Big Block 454. If I could go back in time and keep one of my trucks it would be this one. It was a stock big block 454 with factory bucket seats :) It had a factory 12 bolt posi rear end and "Hooker" headers :) ..... The good old days :D

1965 4 door AMC Rambler with a 6 cylinder and 3 on the tree - reliable was the best thing about it. Bagged my wife with that baby....
Hey, the front seats folded into a bed...it may no have been pretty, but it had it's uses.

First new vehicle I bought was a 1982 CJ5 AMC Jeep...and I still have it today.

First car I owned was a 76 gremlin, red primer and you could start it with a paperclip. Learned to drive it around Dover and Forest Lawn.
First car I drove legally was a 76 dodge aspen in mint condition with a 318.
