Got pictures with your first car. I do!!
My first vehicle was a 66 ford truck.The engine was shot(390)but the body/interior was perfect.My grand pa hauled in a 69? chrysler station wagon hit in the rear,with a TNT 440,so he gave me the drive train,and in the 66 ford it went.I never got to drive the truck on the highway,dad said id get killed with it.My second car,wich was my first car i got to drive,was a 71 maverick grabber,302,4 speed,9 inch rear with 3.55 posi.Dad bought it for my 13th birth day,and i restored it my self from 13-18 years old,with money i made working summer jobs.My dad wouldnt let me put the 340/4 speed i had been saving,from a rusted out 70 duster,because"mopars are too fast,youll be killed,build the ford motor,itll last forever."Well,i did build it,redid the interior,bought new wheels,and tires,new exhaust,etc,etc.I was about a week from grduating high school,had only been able to drive the car for 8 months,dad asked what i wanted for a graduation present,i told him i wanted the money to repaint the car,and put the new decals back on,before graduation weekend.So long story short,he gave me the cash i needed,i painted it,buffed it,etc,was driving it home,when a dumbass kid hit me head on,with his grand dads toyota pickup.In a way,im glad dad dint let me get my uncles 71 roadrunner,because i would have been even more devastaed if i had spent 5 years restoring that,and it had been totaled.Oh yea,the maverick was totaled,frame shop coulnt straighten it out,and no parts were avalible then.
