Yep. I'd like to get a swb and put the drivetrain out of my current truck in it. Trucks from 99 and newer are tanks. My 03 weighs over 1000 lbs more than a 67-72.
OT: What Was Your First Car?
- Thread starter WestWorld
- Start date
Man, my little truck is nearly 16 years old. Gonna buy a car for the kids next, but when I get ready in a couple years, I'm seriously contemplating purchasing a rebuilt older truck to replace mine. I don't need $50k of cowboy luxury and tech as much as I need something I can actually use like a truck when I need it and then be able to fix it in my own garage if need be.
I'd drive this wearing a pimp hat. Thing is hawt.

I don’t mean to brag boys, but I had this little chick magnet. The automatic shoulder harness part of the seatbelt was what really turned the ladies on.
88 Camry

1965 Mustang Fastback painted like a Hertz Shelby.
289 with high-rise aluminum intake, high-lift cam, 12.5:1 pistons, and the ubiquitous Holley 600 4bbl bolted to a C4 automatic.
1970 Boss 302 front springs with 1.5 coils removed, lowered rear with an extra leaf added, one-piece export brace and Monte Carlo bar also. Fiberglass Shelby R-model front end, ie: no bumper.
the interior was from a 1969 Mustang in Pony level with high-back buckets, dash from a 1966 to get the round gauges and a factory rally pack with the 8000RPM tach.

1979 orange Ford Pinto station wagon, with faux wood siding and plaid interior...serious.
My first car with a gas engine was a 67 Cougar with a 390 and a 4 speed.
Should have used an axe on that heater when April rolled around, lol.

I was 20, I beat you. Had a friend in the school in the Army from the Bronx, 22 and said no one there had a car, parking was too expensive, that was in 1959.
1979 Ford Mustang Ghia hatchback, dark jade metallic with white vinyl interior. Had a V6 in it that I managed to blow up, throwing a rod through the oil pan.
1966 Oldsmobile Cutlass. 330 V-8. 2-speed powerglide transmission. Had a burnt valve. Ran okay.
1971 Jeep Commando.
No power steering
No power brakes
No radio
No top- just a bikini top
Standard Shift
No back seats.
Loved it.
1979 T-Bird. Dad bought it new in '78. I bought it from him 10 years later for $800. it was the same color as the one in the picture below too.
‘91 Maxima SE w 5 speed....loved that thing. Black on black, white gauges :100points:
My very first car, which I didn't keep long, was a 1979 Triumph TR7 that someone had put the engine from a Datsun 210 in it. It was traded for a 1979 Ford Mustang that was UT orange. :joy:
I wasn't born into a well off family so both cars were a piece of crap honestly but I am thankful for what I had.

Honey pot thread for hackers to get the answer to your security question. Great job suckers now you will find your accounts drained.
Better change it to your mother's maiden name. Quick!
I used to have a 66 Impala 4 door. My wife is only 5'2", it looked like a kid behind the wheel if she was driving it. She had to look between the dash and upper part of the steering wheel.
‘79 Ford Mustang. My parents bought it for me my senior year in HS (83) from a neighbor up the street. It had a removable sunroof and an 8-track player. Nowhere near as bad as the unlovable Mustang II but far removed from the early badass Mustangs of the 1960s.
Nah, I was just envisioning the station wagon in the beginning of Revenge of the Nerds when you posted that.
I have a picture of me putting my stuff in the back of it on my way to UK as a freshman. It really was like one of the opening scenes of the movie.
1977 Cutlass Supreme.
Bought it from my grandfather for $700

(Side question. How to I post a picture? I keep getting the red x when I try. No issues with videos.)
