The very first one i drove was an early 90's mini toyota tacoma stick shift...not the best experience, but my first daily driver was a 66 mustang coupe...great car if you can sacrifice some time to working on it.The 66 mustang looks like a great car; it must have taken you a lot of time to build.

mine ran when i got it, it needed body work and paint, a new heater and stuff like that, but i didn't have to pull then engine or anything, the carburetor was what caused most of my problems, i worked at an auto shop for quite a few years, i wouldn't suggest something that old for most people's first car, especially if you want to drive very much. I didn't finish the thing completely before gas cost and insurance got me and i got rid of it. I went to an Acura CL, which is another great car, fun to drive, reliable (honda guts), and easy to take care of.

1994 Ford Probe SE, i sold it because i spent too much money on it and forgot to swap the computers, i kick myself everyday for how stupid i was then.
Now i am looking for a Ford Probe GT to fix up and use as my own car. I have had the worst of luck learning to drive a stick, but i will hunker down and learn in a heart beat for a Probe GT.

I turned 50 today and my first car I was bought was a 1968 GTO 400 4 speed that had a screwed un tranny the owner thought. I paid $325 for it at 16 and my dad thought it would take forever to get running. I took a look at the clutch linkage and found out the Z bar was had cracked and wouldn't let the clutch disengage. Cost: $32
Cost to my dad: toooooo many gray hairs.
After fixing it I had a few friends come over and push start it and floored it....Smoke everywhere and I found out whoever took the tranny out put the linkage in wrong 2 & 4 were where 1 &3 should have been. After a simple swap it was mayhem!!!! I boiled the tires off of it many times and after getting warned by the po po and dad getting even more frustrated by how people told him how I drove it, I was forced to sell it.....It was actually a blessing, I probably would have been dead in a year....I was too immature for a car like that.

81 Cutlass Supreme was the first one I actually put on the road. It had a 267 V-8 2 barrel and a 200 metric tranny. Gold with quarter vinyl roof. That car was LARGE, inside and out. My friends and I called her the "Cut-Louche" because working on her was as easy as driving her. The front seats were as comfortable as sitting in a lazy boy and the back seat was as big and comfortable as a couch. I could steer it with nothing but my pinky finger.
She guzzled gas in the city (I drove with the hammer down or te brakes to the floor- nothing in between, ahh to be 18 again) but practically breathed fumes on the Highway. I drove over 500Km average of about 140Km/H and it took 1 quarter of a tank! I'd love to have that car or one just like it for trips out west (work)

First car was a 1995 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.
Yes, a Police Interceptor. It had the decals on the side and everything. Won it at a state auction for only $300 dollars. I had to remove the decal with a heat gun to make it street legal, but other than that, that car had POWER. And the suspension was modified and excellent.
Fun first car. It also came with stab proof steel plating in the driver and passenger seats! And the barricade that separated the front from the backseat. Removed that though.

First 'car' was a 2000 F250. 4 doors and long bed. I got it cheap at an auction, then sold it a few months later for profit. Was nice and wasn't lifted or anything so it was easy to get into (I don't like having to slide-fall into a car, prefer to step into it). But the turning radius was terrible, granted it was a 24 ft long truck- city driving was painful.
