It would be interesting to see what everyone bought their first car for........  This will wake up the younger crowd on the forum.

78 Cordoba - $750.  Bought in 1987.
69 Dodge Charger RT.  Bought in 1988 for $7k
88 Mustang LX 5.0 - brand new baby $11,368

YEP, I SPEND EVERY NICKEL I HAD ON CARS   You know what, still do! Shit....

My first car wasn't much to brag about, a 1988 Audi 80 with a 1,8 liter 4-banger.
Beat the crap out of it for 50,000km (31,000 miles) without any serious breakdowns 

Thats some candle power on the front of that bad boy!

Yeah, you need lots of light living in the northern parts of Sweden.
Dark roads and lots of reindeer and moose, better safe than sorry

Many of you guys know this from previous threads on this subject, but what the hell, I'll post it again. My first was this 1966 F100. I bought it from a friend when I was 16, towed it home with the engine in the bed...he couldn't figure out how to put it back together again. It took me a while, but I got it running again...
.

Here's me washing it in the driveway, at around age 17. That's my younger brother playing pocket pool...


I still have it, I will never sell it.

[Darkman]

Here's mine....1979 Ford Escort MkII Ghia (european....guess what it was converted to RHD by the factory)



It had a 2 litre Cosworth twin cam engine delivering 250 horses at the rear wheels (not bad for a 4 cyl), custom fitted 16" rims. No V8 could keep up with it

Sold it to the guy I bought all the performance parts for it and he rally's it at the moment

I miss that little rocket 

[mikesbbody]

Not my first car, but one of my best Daily Driver was a Holden gemini Aussy members will know of this Car I don't recall what year it was but no power steering, I think... it was a 4 speed but it went really well! I went out of Town to study for just over 3 months, left it at a Friends house with instructions for him to start it every week (which he didn't do). I bought another Car while I was away when I got back it wouldn't start I got it to start, drove it to the Wreckers and that was that  I regret that decision but it was rusting out pretty bad too. The funny thing is, it was my only Car ever I got for Free! I rented A room to a Guy who I worked with he offered to sell it to me for 200.00, then 100.00 then he said "you can have it"  they were quite popular for Young Guy's to do up (nice paint, rims, Stereo etc)

1977 Yellow Volkswagen Golf 1.6s.Really a nice car to start with back at the time.It had sporty buckets and a rpm guage standard.

TRADED IT TO OLDER BROTHER FOR HIS 55 CHEVY POST WITH A 389 GTO ENG. THAN I WENT TO 66 CORONET RED,383,4SPD AND MOSTLY MOPARS EVER SENCE

[Tilar]

The first one or the first one I could drive on the street?

My first one was a 51 Ford I got when I was 13. Then when I was 15 or about to turn 16 I bought a 66 VW that had 33k miles on it. I gave $300 for it. I drove the crap out of that thing and it never left the farm. 

The first one I bought after I got my license was a 67 Ford Ranger that I got off my dad for $600. This was in 73.  I think I posted a pic of it once before.

[dakota1967]

My dad bought me a 1965 Bonneville when I turned 16 in '83.  I was the first of my buddies to have my own car so we took the "Bonnie" everywhere.  Sold it 2 years later for $300 to buy a motorcycle.

[TK73]

Damn I loved this car:

Looked better with the ass in the air over 15x8 Cragar S/S's

I think he got sick of waiting for the $  he was moving out and didn't want it anymore but for a free car it went well while I had it  btw, that's not it in the pic mine was stock standard
No nice wheels or shiney paint
