A 1959 Volkswagen Beetle. Painted it blue in our carpark. 100 dollars. Purchased a 1961 for 1 dollar as spare, and a 1962 for fifty. This was in 1970. Sold the 1961 when I graduated HS 1971. Bought a Datsun Fairlady, 75 dollars and drove it to College. Tennessee Tech.

A lot of car for $225 in 1970.
Unfortunately, it lasted less than 48 hours, before I blew the motor. Forgot about that "check the oil" thing. |

My first car was a 1968 Pontiac LeMans with the 350 cu in 4 barrel carb putting out 325 hp. I bought it when I was 15 with savings from cutting grass, raking leaves and shoveling snow for neighbors since I was 12. I had it repainted and put Cragers with meaty Firestone tires.
Sadly the first time I was legally allowed to drive it by myself a drunk driver ran a red light and totaled the car. Nobody was hurt but all I got out of it was the wheels, tires and radio. I sold those and bought a 1972 Ford Galaxy 500 with a 400 cu in which was a great car but the LeMans looked a lot cooler! |

I have no picture but when I was 16 Dad bought me a used Ford Fairlane, 2 doors, rusty brown color that was a 1966 or '67. Had to keep both feet firmly on the brakes when I put it into reverse or the tires squealed as it took off. I didn't get into any trouble except I ran into a ditch during a snowstorm coming home thru the country after a basketball game. Dad came to pull me out and never said a word; I guess he felt a little guilty turning me loose in such a car. Maybe it had the police engine like Tinker's!
