1973 Toyota Corona - orange as can be
Black vinyl interior

BBL · 5 February 2019, 12:20 PM

1955 Pontiac, robin blue.

Mom forgot her purse on the back "wing", and it survived riding there undisturbed two miles on gravel road.

blufinz52 · 5 February 2019, 12:21 PM

My first car was a 1966 Olds Cutlass convertible, purchased for $1400 in 1968 when I was 16.

Phrank · 5 February 2019, 12:22 PM

1972 Buick Skylark.....

antbkny · 5 February 2019, 12:23 PM

78 Toyota Corolla. Stick shift with a pull choke, and it was Brown. I paid $380 bucks for it and I was 15 with no license. Me and my friend spray painted it flat black with spray cans in front of my apartment building. I also tinted the windows, it was pretty awesome.

1968 FIAT 850 Coach with a semi automatic 4 speed transmission. Clutch engaged by pushing down on stick shift handle. Got it in 1975. Got a million miles to the gallon which was excellent during the gas lines from shortage.

Rockrolex · 5 February 2019, 12:23 PM

1968 Plymouth Fury; 315 bhp w/twin 4 bbl carbs and progressive linkage.

Danny83 · 5 February 2019, 12:29 PM

1988 Porsche 944 bought it from my neighbor. Paid 5000 for it. This was in 2000 I wish I still had it. I was 16 back then

superdog · 5 February 2019, 12:34 PM

Peugeot 505 Turbo. Circa 1987.

Slowest car I’ve ever driven. I think 0-60 was about 17 minutes.

ZOOK · 5 February 2019, 12:34 PM

1974 Datsun B210

In 1986 — a 1977 Volvo 244DL hand-me-down from my parents.

The thing was a Tank. Learned how to drive the 4speed on that thing without using the clutch.

Dr. Robert · 5 February 2019, 12:42 PM

1968 Fiat 850 spider, British racing green, black top, black vinyl interior, I loved that car.

Dishpro01 · 5 February 2019, 12:45 PM

Mine was 1968 mustang. Light blue automatic and mint condition. My dad surprised me on weekend when I came home from school one weekend.

Mercury Montego
Hunter green
70s. Can’t recall exact year.

Second car is the one I wish I still had,
Datsun 240Z in burnt orange, really fun to drive.

Ballzzz · 5 February 2019, 12:58 PM

96 galant - green - didn’t last long though my brother totaled it

Laszlo · 5 February 2019, 12:59 PM

English Racing Green 1971 Datson 240Z. I was 16 and this was in the late 80s. Loved that car, wish I still had it. Daul SUs.

Wcdhtwn · 5 February 2019, 01:02 PM

AMC Concord. Don't remember the year. It was the precursor to the AMC Eagle, which was a four wheel drive sedan, that might be more memorable. Bodies looked about the same, but the Eagle sat higher for the 4x4. It wasn't pretty, but it worked well.

Randy63 · 5 February 2019, 01:13 PM

1973 Chevy Nova with a 307. It wasn’t quick but ate gas like no tomorrow. You could watch the gas gauge move when you put your foot into it.

rmlovett1 · 5 February 2019, 01:15 PM

1985 Toyota 4x4 pickup. :)

yessir69 · 5 February 2019, 01:17 PM

1981 Chevy Luv.

Gaijin · 5 February 2019, 01:17 PM

70 Chevelle. 350 Horses. High School. It was a blast. Surprised I didn't kill myself, some friends or innocent others. By the grace of God.

When I joined the Army as an MP it was partially blown up. Some soldier that another MP in my company had apprehended blew up his car in the barracks parking lot and mine was parked next to it. Got orders for Korea shortly after that so it wasn't repairable time wise. Sold it for a pittance.

Andad · 5 February 2019, 01:23 PM

1948 Vauxhall J.

1974 Ford Mustang ll. I believe the base price was $2495. I ordered it with 4 options:
Radial tires at ~$120
AM Radio at ~$70
“Lux” Interior at ~$100
Manual sunroof at ~$140

Loved that car. I was 18 years old and it represented real freedom. The sunroof was the best option as it brought the outside in. It was operated by a crank in the roof just like the way you cranked open a window.

denmanproject · 5 February 2019, 01:30 PM

Ford Tempo in a beautiful shade of beige

East Bay Rider · 5 February 2019, 01:32 PM

1962 Chevy II Nova with a 194ci straight 6 and Powerglide (2 speed) transmission.

Redtele58 · 5 February 2019, 01:37 PM

1962 VW Bug. Black w/red interior and a sunroof.

Total freedom in 1974.
