'62 Pontiac Catalina with 421 SD engine. It was originally white with green interior and was painted that awful GM lt metallic green somewher along the line.

I was on Okinawa and Dad sent a letter saying some guy wanted it. I said sell her, and bank the money.

That was so cool. I got my first car when i was 16(1973). It was a white on white 1965 Chevy Impala SS. I had just enough extra to put on hijacker air shocks and ET slotted mags. Sure looked good but with a 283/powerglide - not a lot of go for such a big car. Ended up parting it out after a couple of wrecks. Would love to have another one. Have the revell kit I am going to build as a replica of it--- guess I will start that now. :)

My first car was a '75 Monte Carlo. I trashed that car and never really cared. It was the cars I could of had or tried to buy that I lament.

My dad had a '74 VW Thing and offered it to me. But I scared myself crazy trying to drive a stick. A retiree from GM was selling his '67 Pontiac Grand Prix and wanted $1500. Buy the time I came back it was gone... :(

I wouldn't mind my first new car back. It was a '86 Ford Escort GT. I had a lot of fun with it. If anyone has a CarFax account, the VIN is 1FABP33J5GW205174. I still know it by heart...
