First car.....

1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda 383 4-bbl 4 Speed.

A rusted out beat down POS. I paid $500 for it in August 1977. Had it hauled away as junk in November.

Next bought a 1969 Ford Rustang, 351C automatic. The upper control arm rusted off the mount. Had it hauled off as junk in January 1978

1963 MGB. Would only jump start, but was light enough to do such, and I lived on a small incline, so I could get it running when it was dry.

With my first full time job, I got my first car. A two year old 1978 Pontiac Trans Am like this one. Only mine didn't have the hood decal. I liked the Firebird James Garner drove on the Rockford Files. After seeing Smokey And The Bandit, I had to have one. Mine had a rust hole by the fender vent. My mom let me use her credit card to buy 4 new tires. I cut open the rear of the hood scoop. The big V-8 always sounded nice. I kept a couple of screwdrivers in the console to tighten all the screws that kept coming lose. At this time, I lived a few blocks from the beach. I worked on the river. I would take off the T-tops when I drove to and from work. It was the perfect car for me at that time.
