Wish I had pictures. First car was a parent hand-me-down 68 Olds Cutlass Convertible. Engine went bad after 6 month. I put in a W30 442 race motor literally dragged out of a barn for $150. 400+ HP, 18 yr old teen, drinking age 18 in the late 70's. I possibly could have been the most dangerous thing on the road in NJ after 11PM on a weekend. I don't have to wonder what happen to it, I bought a Telephone pole with it. Fortunately for me it only cost a concussion for a couple of weeks and of course the car. Still like speed but cars are better and my understanding of consequences are better

Lancia beta coupe. 1.6L 1974.
was 17 when i bought it, for 4500 shekels (1500$ in 1988)
spent more time underneath it, then in it.
(obviously this is not the actual picture of my car, but same color )
My first car was a 1972 Pontiac Lemans sport I bought it with my own money at the age of 15 for $1,200.00 in 1981. God I loved that car. Note this is not a pic of my car.
I was on my second motorcycle before ever getting a car. My first car was a 1963 Corvair 2 door coupe. Purchased Spring 1974 for $75.
Air cooled flat six. Ran great. Tough as nails. Go anywhere car. Put about 10,000 miles a year on it. Had it for 3 years.
Total repairs were; 1 set of spark plugs $9, 1 muffler $15, 1 fan bearing $15 and 1 set of 4 new tires $125. Sold it for $200.
Thinking about it, I guess that must have something to with now owning a Boxster.
