My first was a 67 Ford Bronco.

It was all rusted out, when you opened the door ir allmost fell off. I had to weld in new floorboards, and weld in metal by the door hinges.

It had a 170 inline 6 cylinder, with a 3 on the tree, 4 wheel drum brakes, and vacuum wipers. I paid $ 450.00 for it and then sold it for $600.00

The best thing about it was that it had a snow plow, and durring the blizzard of 78, I made enough money to buy a 1978 F250 with a 351M, man that was a awsome truck.

all of you people are lucky, I got my start in an 84 Chevy Cavailer...my brother brother bought it for $100. It was destroyed, I redid the front end, engine, and interior. When I was done it was a reliable car....just ugly. When my bro got his new car, he gave me that one, I drove it for 6 months, got my F-150 running and sold the car for $150. The kid who bought it was t-boned 1 week later.

Cool

Mine was a beater '78 Mustang II. Complete with the completely eaten away wheel wells, dangling exhaust and no fuel gauge. Oh yeah, it also had one killer sound system.

96' Chevy Blazer(free), came with 4 wrecks already on it and have put 3 more into it. Sucks gas and cant stop in a single zip code. Still have it today. Waiting for to save up enough for Lightning(almost there). Dont have to wash it that much since it has a puke brown paint job and inside. Cant complane to much though it was free and it runs(sort of).

95 Chevy Camaro z-28. It was a POS. Spent more money repairing it over the 2 years I owned it than I did buying it in the first place. When I sold it finally. Completly bagged on and smashed up.

Mine was a 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint, 289. Still have it in the garage, and hope to give it to my daughter when she gets old enough so she can show up the boys.
