What was the VERY 1st Car you........had to make payments on??? With all the chat about jobs and such it reminded me why I went to get a job at 15!!!o No: The very first car I had to make payments on was a 1967 RS/SS 327 Camero :spank: I can remember it like yesterday .......... WOW I have a picture !!!!!! it was in 1975 ............................
I had to pull aa few bucks out of the bank for the Centurion... So I technically am making payments on it. I paid cash for the LeSabre (my first car)
'75 Jeep CJ5. 258 ci straight 6, 4spd granny. Torque motor with good gears for rock crawling to my favorite brookie fishing.
'78 Buick Limited. That car had EVERY option available in '78. AND a pretty decent-sized back seat.:Brow: Paid $3500 for it in 1985 and took out a note for $3000. Paid $175 a month for 18 months. Was making $6.00 an hour. Sold it the month the note was paid off for $3000 so I could buy my '70 Skylark Convertible for $2200. A year later I had installed a 455 Stage1, 4-speed trans, and 12-bolt rear and was drag racing the convertible every weekend. That led to building the '65 and the billion or so dollars I have tied up in it. Oh, the humanity! :ball: :laugh: :beer
The first car I had to get a loan for was a 1970 convertible 'Cuda. It was 1975 for a whopping $1,400! Sweet car.....wish I hadn't totalled it!:spank:
That would be the 72 GS I still own. I just turned 16 and it was my first car. I bought it in 1987. I had a payment of $100/month and my insurance was $82/month. I was working part-time making $3.35/hour. Tom Jenkins
First and only car I made payments on was my GN, 4 years @ $235.00 a month with 10k Down, Man that was alot of money 16 years ago.
First car I made payments on was my stage 1 convertible I use as my avatar. I sold my 455 1973 regal for $2000 and I owed my brother $500 for painting it. The stage 1 came up for sale and I was 800 short. I was devastated. My dad said, "well, lets go look at it anyway". There were two guys trying to buy it already at 8 in the morning after the paper came out but they only had $2200 on them. I had $1500 and knew it was not going to cut it. Before I knew it my dad asked if he would take $2300 in cash. Next thing I know I am at the gas station filling a platinum mist stage 1 convertible up with premium on my way home. I made 8 $100 payments to my dad over the next year to pay it off. I was a senior in high school when I bought it in 1985. Thanks, dad.
I bought this '72 Charger SE from my big brother in 1975. He cosigned for me at the bank. I was an 18 year old with a very big smile. :grin: I still love concealed headlights.
Geez I feel left out. If I didn't have the cash I let it go. o No: Even my first car (70 Skylark) and the donor car (71 GS350 ou: ) I bought with cash from my 3.35 an hour Pizza Hut Delivery job. Now I make 0.35 an hour. :ball:
First car I made payments on was a 1964 Chev Biscayne 4 door. 283-2v 3spd column shift. Was actually a nice car, solid body with little rust and one of the biggest trunks I'v ever seen.
First car was a 1973 MGB-GT. It turned out to be a real rust bucket and physically broke in two when it was accidently driven through a hole in the road by my mother. Luckily, she was not hurt.
First car I made payments on (and first I car I ever owned) is my 71 Stage 1 bought in 1986. I was 17, got a loan for 450.00 at 26.25% interest, took me six months to pay it off, working at gas station making 7.00hour. Still have the paperwork. later Tim
My first car was a 1977 Olds Cutlass with a 260 motor.I was so thrilled cost me 900 bucks .I test drove it twice.I figured the 260 would get decent gas mileage and thought I could live with the lack of power.On the way home from doing the title transfer,the cam wiped out totally and I immediately had to work on the motor.I got sick of no power and it was such a dog that I bought a 400SBC and TH400 and then installed it.After that it really ripped but,I was so broke from paying for gas I couldn't hardly go anywhere.This was in 1986 and I had a $4.25 an hour job.
1984 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 ragtop. I had that car nine years. I just returned to the states from a stint in Honduras in spring of 1989, and I was vacationing in Houston when I decided I could pay on a cool car. I was looking a Monte Carlo SSs, but the Mustangs were cheaper and faster. GNs were unaffordable as always
