Deephaven 3,053 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 My first was a 68 Galaxie XL Drove it over 300k miles. Most comfortable car I've ever owned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Catalina 116 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 My first was a '68 Beetle. Had lots of miles, was pretty tired, bought it for $400. Once it got cold, it had to go, those things basically had zero heat. Next was a '69 Mustang, like below. Much more fun, but TERRIBLE in the snow. Even with snow tires, could get stuck in level ground if it was icy. Tires just wanted to spin. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

800renegaderider 2,546 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 My parents made me buy a “practical” first car but after selling my first sled and saving for a year or so I bought a 67 mustang at 17. The mustang and the real first car in the background of the pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First car I bought myself was a roadrunner with a 383. That motor used some oil and one time I didn't check it soon enough and then it stopped running and never ran again 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The first week I had my license I drove the Galaxie to school and some idiot from West Fargo blasted through the parking lot and crushed the front quarter of my car. Was winter and I was pissed so I drove home at redline spinning my tires every where and popped the motor. Bad day. I built the 390, then went to put it in and noticed that my frame was no longer a box frame but only had one side instead of 4. I bought a 67 Marauder and pulled the frame off, had it shortened and slapped it under the galaxie. That was my first foray into anything mechanical. Was forced to build a motor and then do a frame off. Galaxie fit lots of people and was easy to build a trunk pass for garbage and cooler access...thank god for minimum maintenance roads. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I picked up a 70 Buick gs I’d seen laying in weeds for $250!new fuel lines and boy do I have stories with that car!!! Damn how’d we survive????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
