My First was a 69 Mustang Coupe that I bought for $400, restored and souped up. I wound up rolling it back in my early 20's

Mine was a 1962 Ford Falcon Club Wagon. Except for the roof top carriers, mine looked very close to this, even the rust. I remember one time in the winter we were having a snowball fight and the door of the van was open. The ignition switch was on the dashboard right by the door. Somebody threw a snowball and it went in the van and hit right on top of the ignition switch, filing it with snow. ("Man, I'm setting here laughing about it now".) Every time I started the van that winter I had to bend down to ignition switch and blow in it, to thaw it out, so it would turn. The comments were never-ending. In wet weather, if it set overnight, I had to hang a trouble light by the distributor, to keep the moisture out, so the thing would start. The first couple of years that my dad, and I, went deer hunting, that is what we stayed in.
My name ain't Keith

With permission from K-Zoo, another great question to add is, does anyone still have their first? I know most of us wish we did lol. I sure don't have mine!

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

'68 Dodge Coronet, slant 6, three on the column. It still had a snarl of old traps and wire in the trunk when I sold it a few years back

It still had a snarl of old traps and wire in the trunk when I sold it a few years back Ha Ha, My first vehicle was a 1966 Dodge Cornet with a Slant 6 cylinder engine. I might still be driving it if I hadn't drove it into a deep ditch and totaled it screwing around while burning rubber on wet pavement. w

59 rambler. Guy came into the dorm griping about his car and wanting to get rid of it. I offered him $25 and he said sold. Drove it for about 6 months and then decided to rebuild the engine. As soon as it was all in pieces my buddy left for a forestry job. 45 years later I still bring up the time he walked out on me in my hour of need. Learned a valuable life lesson from that car - that there was zero chance that I would become an auto mechanic.
In the 1990's I heard some young guys talking about buying a pair of tennis shoes for $125. I shook my head and told them that was 5 times what I paid for my first car.
