Re: What was your first car or truck or bike

I bought a late 60's Dodge Dart from my Mother for $500.00. Dad made me pay her for it too, cash, real money even. Wish i still had it, that dodge 225 slant 6 was indestructable.

PMAT1, i had a 98 Trooper, put 290,000 miles on it before the Admiral called me out the door one morning to ask me about that tinging noise coming under the hood. Seems it had an oil leak she forgot to tell me about and that pinging was the rod jumping around.

Gave it to the Vets and guess they fixed it because I do still see it every once in a while.

Just keep the oil changed and it should last you throught college.

Re: What was your first car or truck or bike

Got my Mommy's 1971 Pontiac Ventura (Nova clone) after I cracked it up. New fender an I was fine but the thing was never a chick magnet. Had a nice V8 (can't remember but I think a 307) and would go like stink in a straight line. Not so good if you wanted to turn a corner quick.

Also did some mild 4 wheeling in it.

Replace it with a $150 Ford maverick (hey it was a 2 door). Carb on that thing needed rebuilding every 4 months or so and I got to where I could pull it, rebuild it and put it back on in an hour. Never did figure out why the carb was so finicky.

Neither of them could keep up with the diesel I drive now.

Re: What was your first car or truck or bike

My first car was 1969 Chevelle Malibu 300 Deluxe. It had a 307 boat anchor engine and a powerglide transmission. It was not a fast car to say the least, but it did look good.

Re: What was your first car or truck or bike

My first car was a 1970 Jeep Commando with a Dauntless V6 and a three speed on the floor. poor heat, no a/c spent my time replacing clutch cables and carrier bearings for the front drive shaft. It did teach me however how to shift a sync tranny without using a clutch and not grind gears

1st bike back when I was 10, a honda 50 that I put the engine from a honda ct70 on. woops I forgot about the 3 1/2 hp B&S mini I had before that

1969 Chevy nova.......paid my brother a dollar for it. It had rotted floors and the lil straight 6 leaked and smoked like crazy. 3 years, a rebuilt 327 and several thousand later I had a very nice car. My mom wrecked in while I was in boot camp though.

First bike was a 1987 HD sportster 883.

Re: What was your first car or truck or bike

1982 Datsun pickup 4x4 paid $500 with extra set of 30" muds!
330,000 miles when the odometer stopped and it never worked the whole time I owned it. that truck probably had over 400k and it still ran like a champ. dieseled real bad but it never got stuck. There was more rust than truck but i loved it. I'm 6'4" and my knees touched the dash but I would do anything to get that truck back. traded it for 2 cords of fire wood and $400.
