First car was a 1969 plymouth satelite. second was a 55 chevy belair 4door. third was a 1970 c20 pickup. others since but not good enough to remember. current fleet is a 1951 chrysler town & country wagon, 1966 beetle, 1968 mustang, 1970 beetle, 1974 cb200t honda, 1975 chevy c10, 1984 z28 camaro, and a 2004 yamaha v-star 1100. last 3 are only ones seudo running.

 

Mine was a '83 Chevy K5 Blazer with the 6.2L diesel and a 700R4 in it. Its the rig that got me into diesels. Damn thing was stolen from my uncle's driveway in June 2002.

That would be pretty terrible, one more reason not to to visit family maybe.

 

I still do visit my uncle every once in a while, but needless to say he'll never be borrowing any of my vehicles any time soon.

"So what was everyones first car.....just curious what you guys got when you were 16."

Oops! Didn't know you meant first car at age 16! LoL j/k
My first was a '59 Ford p/u when I was 13. Did my first engine swap at 14 when I got a 64 1/2 Mustang body. I got over the Fords fast and happily went GM ever since.... until now.

 

first car was a 69 VW bug . wish I still had it.

You cant beat the big block.....

First ride was a 1993 F150 w/ a 5 liter v8. It's still running strong. The stock tranny said byebye last month @ 183k.

 

Dang thats a while most dont hold onto trucks that long....

 

first car

1965 Buick Skylark, 401 nail head V8 325horses and about 3milliom lbs/ft tq, muncie 4speed Then a 1971 Dodge Demon with a 340 auto with drag pack(3:91) Cool can and dual point dist. 1973 Dodge chalenger 340 with all the scoopa and vents 4speed with a pistol grip. 1972 chev C20 custom camper 350 auto and 4:10 !995 Dodge 350 ex-cab dually with cummins and 5speed 2003 Dodge 3500 4WD with auto and over 300,000 miles along with quite a few motorcycles and a few clunker cars to play around. Just got a 84 Olds 98. What a big and smooth ride.

 

I like the sounds of the Dodge old school muscle.

 

I would love to have that '71 Demon right now. Those little cars didn't weight squat and the 340 was a serious runner stock. With a little massaging, the 340 will make anyone's small-block and many big-blocks very nervous.imp:

 

cars

If I had both of those dodges, I could sell them and take the rest of the year off! The Demon would whip up on 396 chevelles and 383 chargers that my buds had. It put a spanking on a 327 vette that had headers. Boy, was that fella upset. Guess he had never run into a 340 before!!!
