  daryle and I must have shopped at the same place as I bought a Austin for $50.00 also when I was 12. My next car was a 1967 pontiac parisienne 2 door hardtop, 427 jet flame 385 H.P. 400 turbo with collum shift ,bench seat. Red on red. I was 17. How I lived through that one I will never know. All the neibours for miles called it the red coffin. That car is now buried in a pit on the farm where I lived. I now have a 1967 pontiac parisienne 2+2  that came with 396 but now has 427 turbo 400 trans red on red.

Ha, ha. You've had a lot of odd dealings with many "1st." cars Carl!
What about the Moonshine Runner you bought at age ten?


        Your the only one reading the posts winkwink    Heres all my first car stories


My first car was bought in Moncton in 1966   I special ordered a  Grande Parisianne Hard Top with L72 and 4 speed and air conditioning...   My dad had business with something to do with boots or leggings 

Anyway I used to drive the car at night,  It was always heavier at the start of the run..  We put 2.73 gears in it so we could run 100 mph on the back roads in 3rd gear  I sold the car after getting out of jail, and the car ended up hauling fish in PEI..   Last I heard the car was in a Derby..

You guys, don't really read, all the posts,  do you??????


My first car #7  was a  66 Plymouth Satallite Convertible..  I bought it when I was 17  I robbed the local beer store, and took the money to the local Chrysler dealer..   The car was a magazine test car, and the Hemi had 10,000 miles on it ...   I keep it last year, and then welded on a steel top, and used it as a derby car..   Sold it Tiny for scrap for $100.00

my first car was a 1963 Corvette   Bought it off a old lady who could not drive stick..  I didn't like the small split windows, so I cut the centre out and used  plexiglass   The fuel injected 327 was hard on fuel, so we installed a slant 6 froma Dart...  later traded car for a lawn mowerhmm

I went to Central Chev Olds in London Ont in 1966 with my mother on the bus (50 miles away)
I wanted to buy a Nova with 4 cyl.. 
My mother, spotted a beautifull green 1966 Impala SS with black vinyl top and white bucket seat interior   I wasn't sure  I wanted a 427-425 with a 4 speed .. The car was $4300.00 and after my mother showed me how to power shift it, I said OK   She wrote a cheque for it and I drove it home...  It had some "busy" gears in the back end, and was noisey to drive...  I got used to it, and raced every car around...  It was hard on tires,and gas, and at 10,000 miles I parked it ...  I think its still in Mums garage   I did get a 4 cyl Nova  and then a vega GT

Well my first car was a 1972 Corolla, but I still own my second car, my 1966 Beaumont, bought it in 1987 at age 17.

Still not complete...

this was my first buy when i was 15 , In B.C. you could have a motor cycle licence at 15. not a car but was a 65 honda Super Hawk
Bought it for $200 in "Boxes"
The guy had took everything apart to paint it and never got around to
putting it back together. he even took the rear shocks apart rather then
just masking the chrome..
