Re: What was your first car or truck or bike

Mine was my parents former car....a '67 Pontiac Grande Parisienne (Canadian 'Bonneville') 4 dr hardtop with a 327/PG. Nice big car for getting my friends in...but the chicks didn't think much of it.
As a Canadian kid...I had been hoping for a Zamboni:D:D

A 1970 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup. Bought it from my grandma for $500 after grandpa had passed away. Orange with a white cab, 3 on the tree, 350ci, and black interior. First thing I did was put on dual exhaust. I think grandma just shook her head and laughed. Bought it in '78.

59 Ford Galaxie. Got it for free. Compression was so bad the only time I ever got it running was when my dad was towing me to the junk yard and I dropped it into drive.

Now my second car was a red 65 Mustang convertible. 289, 4 speed and 4 barrel. I sure miss that car.

Re: What was your first car or truck or bike

IM 33,,,,,,,my first vehicle was a 1962 ford step side f-150 baby blue
i belive it had a 262 v8 ,,,,,its been a long time i coud be wrong..

my farther had that and a late 60 or early 70 mach 1 fully built inthe yard..

said i could buy the truck and then maybe the mustang when i GREW UP..


yep never gave me anything, i had to buy my first ride- and i respect him for that....thats how you learn to apreciate and take care of stuff..

that truck had a 3 speed on the column and i transfered it to floor shift.

wooden bed slatts were rotted and i replaced them with varnished red oak and stainless semi round bolts......

i loved that truck and all my stuck up friends made fun of me- theur parents bought them car after car,,,,

i was16 then and kept it till i was 22........thanks pop;)

ps i never got the mustang-musta been rare as i remember some 1 came and offered him alot of cash for it, and bought it
