what was the first car that "you" bought, and how old were you?

65 SD L79 · Canadian Poncho Superstar!

62 Impala @ 14 years of age. I was told there was an old 64 pontiac sitting in a feild with a dual exhaust system and a posi rear end. I ended up taking the engine out of the impala and putting it in the Pontiac. Paid $35 for it

1970 Skylark Custom. I paid $750. After replacing the interior, fenders, doors, hood (GS), trunk lid, windshield, engine, transmission, grille, and rear bumper I had a pretty decent car!

My first ever car was a 1969 Chevelle, 350 with a 3 on the column, 295 horse. Wish my bro hadn't totalled it.

I bought a beater 61 Comet 3 on the tree that needed a head gasket when I was 14 or 15, can't recall. I fixed it and drove it a bit on the farm before selling it. Also bought a 55 Chev parts car and sold parts off it to make a few bucks before I was 16.

My first "real" car was a 65 Canso Sport Deluxe that I bought a few weeks after getting my license on Valentine's Day, 1974. It was an insurance write off that a local guy bought, replaced left fender and driver's door, painted the whole car and sold to me for 500 bucks!

Mine was a '72 GMC 1/2 ton 350 with the farmer 4 spd. Got it when I was 16. My Grandfather sold it to me for a buck, but I had to put an engine in it. So ordered in an rebuilt through the Sears catalog and did the swap on the garage pad at the farm with
an old front end loader tractor with crappy hydraulics.

1980 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ Car was a buddy of mines so I never transferred the ownership, just paid the ins. Had to do it that way, car was WAY to rotten to certify. Rear bumper and frame section fell to the ground about 2 months later. Decided to get rid of it when I was cruising down the road and you could see the window pillar bouncing...ended up as a field car!

Taylor55 · Poncho Master!

1951 Chev 6 stick 4 dr sedan when I was 16. I bought it from my brother who wanted to buy a 1941 Chev 4 door sedan. Another brother bought a 55 Pontiac Laurentian 2 dr sedan that I wanted real bad and eventually bought and still own today. All 3 cars were real low mile cars at the time and were in exceptional condition. This was in 1970.
