My dad bought me a 64 wildcat for $50 and we went to the junkyard and pulled a 25 cent starter brush and got it going, but I was like 13 and he sold it.

My first car after a few motorcycles was a 68 AMX, my dad never got why I was replacing parts on it that didnt need it. ( intake,headers,carb, dist, etc)

I share regrets to. Mine was a 1975 mk3 Cortina for $800nzd.

Spent three years rebuilding it and painting it with a mate.

Sold it for $3000 to pay for my wedding. Huge mistake.

Worth $50,000 today it was that mint in the end.

Mine was blue, yeah it was big.

What was that car that looked like a Duster and the lug nuts you had to turn in the 'wrong' direction lol. I spent hours trying to get them off but was turning the wrong way.

It was a red Roadrunner (or Duster) or something like that, maybe like a larger Dodge Dart? We had an early 1960s Dodge Dart as well, and a Nova.

A lime green 1971 Ford Pinto w/ 2.0L and a 4 speed manual, 64,000 miles for $600 in 1977. 1945lbs as I remember, I think 100 or 120 HP. I beat the crap out of that car! It would smoke 1st, 25ft of rubber in 2nd, about a 5ft patch in 3rd and a chirp in 4th. Top speed around 107MPH. 20mpg with your foot in it. Very impressive for what it was.

Man my family had a few pintos. drove one to florida and back when I was 17. I dont care what anyone says about them they were good cars.

I was really hard on the driveline. I broke 3 transmissions in about 70k miles. Fortunately, they were cheap and fairly plentiful in the junk yard ... and light enough to install in the backyard without a trans Jack. I used to break the shifter out of the shifter cup and bash my knuckles on the dash on a hard 2nd-3rd shift, I broke the metal shaft and had to use vice grips as the shifter handle for a while. LOTS of stories in that car. Lost a carb filter housing screw down the carb one time, it got stuck in the intake valve. We pulled the head, removed the screw from the valve, threw it all back together with the old gasket and it still ran great! The Pinto/Bobcat got a bad rap but they sold a lot of them. Rust eventually killed mine.

I still have my 1973 Pinto window sticker. $2300.00 and 100 miles on it.

I abused it, but it was reliable.

In 1969 I bought a 1951 Ford DeLuxe sedan for $75. Had a straight 6 flat head. The back seat was HUGE, you could sit in the back, stick your legs straight out and your feet not touch the back of the front seat. The water pump was shot, so I could only drive it from home to the parking lot of the local hamburger joint before it over heated and I had to let it sit for a couple hours to cool down before I drove it home. Did that all summer before I joined the military and sold it for $100. Never did fix the water pump.

Toyota Corona. I spent some savings on getting the AC and radiator fixed. 22LR engine ran like a champ. I then bought a new car and my brother got ahold of it and blew the engine just two weeks later. In fact, my shit for brains brother has either fuck up the engine, transmission, or wrapped the vehicle around a tree within 3 years of getting the vehicle.
