What was your first car?

[SJEFFB986]

1969 Olds Delta 88. Tank. Parents gave it to me after high school (1975). Back then they started to rust as this did after only 6 years! Sold it in 1977 when I joined the armed forces. Was a great car and had many memories attached to it.

1971 Firebird Formula with transplanted 455ci engine $1,000. newly recovered seats, no carpet or console, auto trans. (only reason I didn't keep it longer) came with a bad starter solenoid so to start it you had to use a long skinny screwdriver to poke between the header tubes & jump the solenoid. Really fun at night with all the sparks!
Picture below is @ Camp Lejeune N.C. where I took advanced auto mechanics.

Audi Fox, I think it was a 1976, can't remember what I paid for it. Cool at the time, since it was the only Audi in the HS Parking lot, heck it might have been the only Audi in the town, maybe the county. Of course since it was a 70s Audi, it had numerous electrical problems.

1960 Austin Healy bugeye Sprite. Bought new after working all summer selling encyclopedias door-to-door. Had to push start it when temps were below 20 degrees. Would go almost 80mph downhill with a tail wind. It died while parked on a residential street when run over (literally!) by a delivery truck. Bought a Corvair to replace it.
