Slick 60's

my mom sent me some pics she found around the house and these two were in the pile.
my 63 midget the day me and my dad brought it home. (if you look close, i think that is a c cab delivery way in the backround).

Wish I had pics right now, but, Zaks first car he hauled home at 8 was a 68 MGBGT. love the old pics ezernut,........ Anthony

Those old MG's are awesome little cars! My brother has a '61 that been sitting inside for about ten years now. It runs great but needs paint and interior done. He's just always been too busy to get to it.

Was it ever finished? Need a pic of that.

Hey your first car is not much bigger than my first car.



Yes that is me.

thats so cool

Boy, that brings back some memories. I had a 62 Austin Healey Sprite (same vehicle, different badging) when I was homeported in Yokosuka , Japan in the mid 60's. Great, fun little car and was perfect for the narrow (and I mean narrow) roads in the small towns and the Japanese countryside.

those are the only pics that i know of of that car. it was fun, but was always breaking down. being 16, i just wanted something to cruise in so i sold it and bought a 77 pontiac ventura.
we did finish the body and interior and put some "true spoke" wheels on it. it was pretty cool looking. no roll up windows and the top had to be folded up and put in the "boot".
948 ci of pure fury. lol. i did have a high lift cam and a weber carb for it that i never got around to installing.

heres my first truck lol never owned a car had this 65 since 01 when i was 11 sinished and drove it till i was 17 by that time i put the 390 and fmx and did the frame off when i was 16 painted it myself. i thought it looked good at the time but now i see flaws but oh well

that's cool slickwilly. i don't think i owned a truck until i was 24 or so and it was a slick too. you used to be able to buy these things for about 500 and run the rest of their life out of them for about two years or so and buy another.

What the heck, here's my first car, about 1951

wow. what is that? and where you a "hood"? lol. you look like trouble in that pic.

my first car was a 1963 ford step side that i fell in love with when i was 9 or 10.i finaly got to buy it when i was 16 now im 39 and i still have one but its a 1964

64 is the best. good looking grille and upper valance. straight axel. y block or 223. over all coolest slicks. jmho.

i miss my 65 i wish i could buy it back everyday

My first car:

I drove it so much I actually wore the tires (solid) off the rear wheels. I was so upset when my parents junked it. Scarred forever, I was. So I bought one on Ebay about six years ago and it sits in our family room.
My first actual vehicle was a 1971 Jeep Commando. This isn't the exact one, but it's about identical except for the wheels.

While it was my first 'car', it was not what I wanted. This was a compromise from what I could afford and what my father wanted. I think he saw me as an opportunity to get another Jeep after his much lamented 1957 Willys CJ5 poofed it's engine. The car I'd really wanted, and the first one I bought with my own money was this:

This is actually #2. #1 was a $300 turd that didn't look much different than this one ($450!) #1 gave me much joy and pain for about 3 years until I tried to restore it and realized what a hopeless rust bomb it was. #2 did get restored by me and I owned it for over 20 years. The end result:

I have absolutely no pics of my first car whatsoever. My dad wouldn't let me buy a truck so I bought a '79 Dodge Challenger.(4cyl, 5 spd) It ran great but wasn't a truck. At 18 I bought my second vehicle with out needing dads name on the loan and this is it. [albumimg]4985[/albumimg] of course this was after I completely rebuilt it. My first truck. 1967 f-100, 240 3 spd converted to floor. Wish I would have kept it but family first..... Anthony

So I guess this was my second car or my first street legal car.


Yes that is an 8-Track player under the dash.
