What Was Your First Car And How Much Did You Pay For It???

First car was a hand me down that I never drove. Second car (that I also never drove unless you count donuts in a field) was an '81 Regal I bought for $200. Third car (that I also only did donuts in) was a '78 Grand Prix that I paid $400 for. Forth car was an '87 Cavalier Z24 that I also paid $400 for and actually drove quite a bit before selling it for $800.

My first car which I bought as a project car when I was 16 was a 76 triumph tr7 hardtop. Bought it for 700 bucks. Due to electrical issues and lack of knowledge it never made it to the road. Years later I push out out of the garage to sell it to move to minnisota 7 years later to be exact. I drop a battery in and tighten down one of the carburetors since it day unbolted that 7 years. Turned the key just to see if it would turn over to put that on the ad. After maybe 10 revolutions it fired right up. I was extremely shocked and ended up doing some work to get it on the road. By that time I was laid off work andmy 04 ranger got repod so needed a vehicle. Had all the money to insure it and register it that Sunday. Been starting it up everyday for about a month and driving it around the block. Went to turn it around to change the oil and put some gear oil in the pumpkin and wouldn't start. Wasn't getting fuel. After awhile I saved and bought a fuel cell and fittings nessisary to hook it up. Mount it and fuel was getting to the motor. ($500 for a OEM replacement tank and everything underneath had to come out. Header back exhaust, Axel, and whatever I'm forgetting. Maybe $175 for the cell and accesseries.) No spark. I couldn't figure that out, forums didn't help with that. Web couldn't help. So it sold for 500. 2 days before I got my license I got my 2nd car. 83 mustang gt 5.0 5 speed. Which went down for a fuel pump that I want getting the right pumps when trying. Later on for it running again and now currently working on getting it back on the road now. Almost my daily driver again

Pics

Little better pictures. Just got done waxing and clay barring it. Does have the spoiler I just took it off to clean all the leaves out of underneath. And the last pic is the before and after pic of the roof. I never waxed it after a3 stage buff soiit went back to the way it was. Once it's on the road I'm going to finish the whole car like that and *cough* touch up paint all of the chips in the paint to get by until I can get it painted. I've tried a few large sections on the bumper. Not great looking but does look better from a few feet away

Nice! Excellent deal on that 35 Ford. Nice truck too

I like the lines of that body style. Looks straight. What x What you have powering it?
