Crappy First Cars - Page 5

1991 buick century. It got me around, and the 3300 had enough get up and go to get me in trouble, but it wasn't anything special. The paint was peeling just about everywhere, so it looked like a dalmation (white with the darkish gray primer showing through in spots) and had an ugly red interior. I actually wish I still had it. I loved the bench seat - nothing better for having your girl slide over real close.

My first car was a 1964 4-door Chevy Impala, so rusted that all you had to do to unlock it was stick you finger in through the rust hole near the door handle and push the lever inside. The frame was so rusted and bent that it went through a set of tires every 4 months. It had black interior with a bench seat that had holes in it too. When I asked my mother to pick up a seat cover for the front seat so I could go on my first date with the girl who has now been my wife for over 30 years, she got me one that was fur (synthetic of course). It was so slippery. I made sure to keep taking right hand turns rather quickly since there were no seat belts in the car. She couldn't stay away from me!

But, it got me through college and to my next car, a 1969 Opal GT, and after that, two years into my first new car, a 1977 Pontiac Sunbird. By the way, my date from the 64 Impala only lasted a couple months and then we went our separate ways. It was about 4 years later we got together and married. She said that she thought I had money now that I finally had a new car. Boy was she wrong!

A Camaro was my first car! A 1979 base model 250ci inline six automatic.....a far cry from my current ride, but I would love to have that car back!

Handed down Orange Datson B 210. Nothing to look at & a lemon electrical system, but it got me where I needed to go in HS for a while thereafter.

Mine did that too, I think. Was it a U-joint??? Can't remember.

My teen driving years started with a 65 mustank 6cyl 3m. Had it about six months and traded it for a 67 cougar. That was a pretty cool ride, 289 4m all shackled up.

First car I bought on my own was a 72 datsun 240z without a motor. Put a small block Chevy in it. It was fast as he77 but what a peice of crap it was. I had a couple others that I claimed from my mother before that though.

88 or 89 Pontiac 6000 LE. That had a pinhole leak on the pressurized side of the fuel line, as the car ran it would spray a aerosolized gas cloud around the car. Glad I dident smoke

My first was a '68 Camaro RS 4spd that I shared with my older brother, long time ago and a lot of cool memories.
