'63 Buick Riviera bought it from my parents when I turned 16 (1977), they bought it in '65. Don't have it anymore. Tried to find it 15 years ago from the license plate number, which I still remember, but the dead end ended there. The plate was either replaced or the car is crushed most likely both.

'68 Mustang coupe (started with a 302, I put in a 351C and made it into a tire shredder:toothy10
This is my first car. Saw one at the volo auto museum when i was 14 and started saving. I bought it not running as soon as i turned 16. 318/904 8 1/4. First i blew up the 904. then the 318 started to shoot fire because the timing chain was so stretched out. only on decel. though it was cool. Then I bought a blown up 340 from my buddies duster and had it machined and put it together. Then the 8 1/4 needed a posi so i bought a posi one. That started to fail so i got a 8 3/4. Then the 904 blew up again so I had a race 727 built then I sold the car to buy my duster. Now Im 23 and the duster is on the street. I miss the charger alot and I learned everything I know from that car but Im hoping i wont regret selling it too much. The duster is what i was really after I think but everyones been giving me a hard time about it lately. Is it better to have a nice cruiser or a fast street strip car?
They were together for a short time.

I've owned a '92 for the past 4 years- one of the best vehicles I've ever had.

My first car was a 63 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertable with a 426, auto. I got it in 67 for $450. I sold it in 69 for $350. I found it for sale three years ago. It needed a total restore but was complete. The guy wanted $14,500. Needles to say, I didn't get it back.

My first was a 1971 Dart, which I still own.... haven't done much to it yet besides stripping it bare. Hopefully I can get something done on 'er soon!
I also have a 1988 Dodge Dakota Mopar Express Edition. Nice truck!

I would have had trouble turning down buying it, it's hard to replace your first car and to have found it almost 40 years later, WOW! For what it is, the price doesn't sound to bad.
I would gladly pay a good price to get my first Charger back that I bought when I was 17

1970 Pontiac Tempest when I was 17. We pulled the 350 2bl and dropped a 400 4bl from a firechicken. Stationwagon coils on the back had it jacked way up and drum brakes all around made it an accident waiting to happen and it did. I wrote it off 2 years later.

My first car was a 69 camaro. I put a big block in it and a fiberglass front end put on before I ever drove the car. I had to work every weekend to make enough money to drive the car to school everyday

Cool car!!!
Mine was a 65 Dart 4 Door (big suprise here right) slanty auto.
Got it from mom (borrow all the time), she got it from my grandpa.
When it was time to sell it she traded my grand pa for a 6 cyl Nova.
The 65 Dart then went from my grand pa to a neighbor behind his house, my house now. When they got it from him it had well over 250,000 miles and still running like a race car.
A couple years after I heard the parking brake went out, it rolled down a pretty good hill down their driveway cross the street on the other side of my corner lot, and down a 12' embankment into Stoney Lonesome Creek. On the way down it careened off a phone poll. At 375,000 miles and laying in the bottom of the creek, and pass side wipedoff with a phone pole, it was pulled from creek and continued to be used until 425,000 miles and was then sold to a local high school boy where we lost track of it. I know it's not in any of the junk yards round here, not even the ones Yard Dawg has his parts cars in!
At the time I despised having to drive that car. Would go into school late so as not be seen driving it!
The Nova?
Basically stole it out from under Mom. Tore the 6 cylinder out of it and dropped in a 327 with camel hump heads. First time I really ever built a non lawnmower engine. Spun a bearing a month later and had to sell to the mechanic for repair bills. Parents were kinda pissed at that teardown! There have been many more sense but have turned out better!LOL!!
Looking back I guess I really don't wonder where all our 4 door Darts are comming from. It's a sublimital thing about being able to fix my own car on the cheap, no payments, cheap tags and insurance, and the unbeleivable milage that first Dart had when we lost track of her.8)
Don't quote me on mileages, grand pa liked to spin a good yarn! Ohhh Thats where I got it! The only one I was sure about was the 250K+ when it went back to him!
I've got no problem believing the mileage on that '65 Dart- When I was 15, my parents bought an '84 Ram B350 w/ a slant & 5 spd. Aside from being one of two personal vehicles, my mom also used it as 1/3 of a small trucking company she worked for- back and forth to Florida at least once a month for the next 7 years, and the slant ultimately spent time in 36 of 50 states. After my mom passed away, that van spent the next 5 years as my father's only vehicle and all-around workhorse in his carpentry business before going to the junkyard (under it's own power) with 575K on the clock.
