What Was Your First Car?

[Robbo]

1968 Corvette.

Passed down from my grandparents who bought it New when the “new body style” debuted. My mother wanted it and they gave it to her on the condition that she could never sell it, it had to be passed down to the first grandchild in the family.

Pulled this from the web. I don’t have any pics of the actual car at hand. It wasn’t in this nice of condition. It had been a daily driver for years and then in storage for years before I got it.

At 16 I inherited a '94 dark green Dodge Intrepid w 86k. Drove it for 4 years until it had 111k miles and traded it in. Decent car that was kept pristine with turtle wax, black magic and armor all brand products.

'97 Camaro RS. Forest Green. With a Flowmaster. Then switched it to an Edelbrock Catback. I thought I was the hot-ness

67 Camaro convertible. It had an actual “Earl Schibe” paint job when I got it (1984). Receipt for the repaint was in the car. $199. Painted right over some of the badges on the body. Straight 6, power glide trans. Awful combination. No power steering or brakes.
Passed it down to my sister and bought a 69 Camaro in hugger orange two years later. Loved that one.

These and the GLH Omni, are two cool Mopars from the 80’s.

I liked my little Charger, fun car. The GLH, Goes Like Hell, that's why Mr. Shelby named it that. They also made a GLHS version of both the Charger and Omni, off the top of my head I can't remember what made them different. I seen a Charger GLHS once at a car wash when I lived in Oklahoma, talked to the owner for about 20 minutes, he told me but forgot. Back then you could also get the 2.2 turbo engine in a Lebaron GTS, and the Daytona Turbo Z, also the Plymouth Laser but pretty sure only with a automatic.

My Grandfather was a mechanic at Northland Chrysler in Oak Park, Mi. for a long time. He found out that you could change a computer that was located in the passenger side kick panel, I want to say it was called a logic module, it upped the boost enough to really notice a difference. I was 16, walked into Ramchargers on Northline and Allen slapped down the $140 got one, walked out of there a man!

The GLHS had an intercooled 2.2L, regular GLH was a "hot air" car. The GLHS made 174 HP compared to the 150 HP of the regular GLH. Koni suspension was also part of the GLHS package. I know they made 1500 of one but only 500 of the other, just can't remember which goes to the Charger and which goes with the Omni.

Don't forget about the IROC Daytona and Spirit R/T's, both had 224 HP thanks to a Lotus developed DOHC head. They were making progress and then just stopped, why?

I don't know, maybe because Lee Iacocca retired.

Don't know if this has been asked before. Just curious how everyone started out!

My first was a 1986 Dodge Shelby Charger, black and silver.

I loved those!!!! My first Car was my mother's old 92 Plymouth Acclaim. The first car I purchased was a 93 Nissan 240SX Coupe that I still own- for almost 15 years now! (it hasnt been driven in almost 10)
