My first car

[sfga6970]

My first car. A 1965 Pontiac GTO. What a sweet ride it was.




This is not actually my car, but it is the same make and model as the one I had to sell when I left for VN. This one is on the market for $48,500, I sold mine for $1,500 and thought I got a good deal. Same color with white convertible top and white leather upholstery.

After I returned, I got into sports cars.

That is one of my favorites as well. Did the goat have vacuum or mechanical Trip's? I knew someone that had the lower headlights removed and has a ram induction type of air cleaner set up on the induction.

So many good muscle cars, so little time to drive them...

I've had so many cars over the years that are now on the high dollar list that it's really depressing to watch the Barrett-Jackson Auctions.
37 Ford coupe
41 Chevy coupe
51 Ford Victoria
51 Ford Country Squire (Woodie wagon)
54 Chevy 5 window pick-up
55 Merc Conv.
57 Chevy
65 Ford pick-up
65 Pontiac Tempest
65 Mustang Coupe
67 Caddy Conv.
(to name a few)
Back in the days when I sold them, these were just old used cars.
I'm going to hang on to my 27 Ford for a while.

To tell you the truth, that was over 40 years ago and I don't remember. The car was bought new by a good friend of mine in the Army and he sold it to me when it was less than a year old. He got married and his wife told him to get rid of it and buy a station wagon. It was a great car and I hated to see it go. It made quite a few trips from Ft. Bragg to NY and never failed me once. It was definitely good for picking up women, it was definitely a chick magnet.

My first car was a sports car - MG, TD style. Give gears forward, right hand drive, fortunately with a turn signal, making it easy to pass the car in front of me, and I had a heavy foot. She was a sweet lass and I had a lot of fun with that car. I got pregnant with our first son while I had the car and it had a collapsible steering wheel. As the baby grew, my father would push it in to the next spot and I drove it the day before Ad was born. Over a bumpy road, which may have hastened his arrival!

I still dream of that car.

The MG TD is a dream car. They're hard to come by today.
