Yep, a 1988 F250 2wd 4spd with the old straight six. I got it with 165,000mi and now it has over 250,000 and still runs strong. Hopefully my other straight six truck does as well.
 
1978 Mercury Marquis. Dad bought it new when I was 7. Lots of happy family memories, but he passed away when I was 14 and I started driving it the day I turned 16. High school, home coming, prom, some college, work, our wedding car. Somewhere in there it turned 100,000 miles at 100mph, the secondaries on the 4-barrel carb were wide open... and it was raining lightly... but 100,000 doesn't come along often! In 2011 finances finally enabled a "whatever it takes" restoration odyssey. Who does a body-off on a Marquis? I should get to drive it again in early 2015.

If you squint you'll see it's cherry red paint, white vinyl top, covered headlights, and fender skirts in my avatar (?) picture.

A blank check couldn't buy Dad's car.
 
My 1st car is a 67 Pontiac LeMans. One pic of before it was taken apart. The other is a present state at the shop.

No I don't have my 68 Cougar anymore but I did own my Cougar and Marauder at the same time for a little while. Here's a picture a couple days after I got my Marauder in May 2006

Nope dont have my first. It was a 87 cutlass ciera with the iron duke. I pounded on that thing and it took all a teenager could give it. Sold it in 00. Got an 88 cutlass supreme classic and had it till march 4th 01 when someone felt they needed it. Replaced it with my 85 monte SS which i still have. Ive have some daily drivers since. My MM i bought in march will hopefully be my daily till the wheels fall off. I dont treat it like i did my other daily drivers.
 
My first car was a 1972 Datsun 510 2dr, purchased in 1976 or 7. Long long gone. I think it's the only car I've ever owned that I don't have a picture of.
 
LOL. first car bought in '76 or '77 during my Jr year of H.S., it was a '68 Pontiac LeMans that I wanted so bad to be a GTO Judge . Sold it in '79 and bought a '76 Chevy Laguna S3 Chevelle.
 
still have my first new 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.

1 owner 70 Boss 302 = :bows:
Only other guy I know that smart is my friend that bought his new Signet Gold / black vinyl top 67 GTO 400 HO / 4 speed, and still has factory paint, driving every year. He bought the goat because dealers did not have any 427 Fairlane's, and he was ready to buy a new car.

Yep, I had the '76 red, with the white swivel seats, which out of the years built was the only one with both slant front and rear. That is the only car from the past that I REALLY wish I had today. These young pups on here probably never heard of it let along seen one and they talking about people don't know what a Marauder is. That car is what started me looking at and buying specialty if not rare cars especially after owning the LeMans and it wasn't a GTO or GTO Judge.

Love Lagunas. There's one around the corner from me.

I still have the 340 cuda emblem from one snorkel from my first car.

Yes, should have kept.
