70 Impala Conv. 350. Loved it. Had a new white top and dark green metalic paint & new tires were all done before I even drove her. Bought the car in 1984 and drove it my last two years of HS. Paid $600 for the car, $200 for the top, $150 tires and $1000 for a complete paint. Saved for the car, bought it, had the work done and paid for one full year of ins. right off the bat all with money earned from paper route and working at a local pizza place. LOL
Not my first car, but I had a 72 Impala convertible(Impaler), 350, same color combo, white and dark green. Bought it off an old guy in 87, had sat in his garage for 5 years had only 64,000 miles on it. Even had the mint tonneau (boot) cover. Bought it for $1,800, drove it for another 60,000 miles (adding only fresh paint) and sold it for $3800. That car sure flew on the highway, top down...
My first tho was a 67 GMC van (flat windshield). Had a staight 6 3 speed in it, I quickly pulled it and put in a 283 auto, the usual van interior, and slotted mags/Mickey Thompson tires LOL....never could keep that thing cool with that V8 stuffed in the middle. Ended up leaving it in Klamath Falls Oregon leaking oil out of every possible seal after a trip to San Diego with the boys...
