Do you still have your first car?

My first new car was my 1970 Boss 302. Still have it, drive it & race it.
I have improved the steering, suspension, and now a five speed T-5 with a hydraulic clutch to fit the long tube headers.

Now that is a hell of a first car. A buddy of mine has a dark blue with white stripes Laguna black and white int pretty cool!

77 Can Am
drove mine right to the junk yard. Same as above ^^ = who knew how rare those odd ball cars would become?

Can Am huh? man those were rarer than Lagunas probably. Those were based off the last gen of GTO's in the mid 70's right. I remember someone I knew had a '74 or '75 but can't remember who...also around that time was the Hurst Olds 442 that I liked. Man how time flies. Plus they were all GM cars, now I only buy FoMoCo since my 1st ones a '87 Escort GT in '88 while stationed in Germany and a 5.0 Mustang GT bought new in '89 when I came back stateside.
 
Yep, I still have my first car. Bought it 38 years ago. I was a junior in H.S.
It was a real 68 SS/RS 396/375hp car with 4 piston factory front disc brakes, p/s-p/b-12 bolt 3:42 rear end and Muncie 4-speed with a Hurst shifter.

I bought it for $650.00



Today...750+ HP 548 Big Block all roller, nothing but the best.

I also have the first NEW car I ever bought...1987 Turbo Buick T-Type.
I ordered and waited 6 weeks.

After all the posts it got me thinking so searched around on ebay and Craigslist and look what I found, just like mine, except I had the rally wheels with the beauty rings, Someone got Keystones on this one.

Man, that brings back memories, I got a pic of my first born(girl) sitting in the driver seat swiveled around. She just turned 35, she don't remember the car but has seen the pics of it and her in it.

77 Can Am = one year only. 1377 made. 400 cu.in. Pontiac power only, except California cars got an Olds 403:puke:
White paint / red striped only, most had red interior. Few had tan interior...by my memory.
Based on Lemans body. GTO went back to a Lemans option in 72, dead in 74.
Also was Grand Am - available in 4 door and 2 door coupe. A nicely optioned Grand Am is likely what you saw from 73-76 era.
Only odd things on Can Am was column shift (rare) or floor console shift. Otherwise pretty much all the same.
Yah, same generation 442/Hurst Olds had the true Lightning rod shifter - what a hassle! but cool as hell.
I'd rather have a 77 Can Am than 77 Trans Am to be different.
Sadly, prices are up, up, up.

EXCELLENT!!
 
I still have my first collector car. Bought it when I was 19. It is the 1969 Impala in my signature. My first car I blew the motor up and crashed it twice. I thought that was what you where supposed to do to your first car.
