Nice loren!
1990 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer with 351 engine. Beautiful in its simplicity and very easy to work on. I bought it with 80,000 miles and put another 80,000 miles on it. The only maintenance issue in 10 years was an A/C compressor. The interior room was cavernous - sitting in the captain's chair was like being in your living room. Great truck with a distinctive style. O.J. knew a good ride when he saw one!

72 Chevy Blazer in Old Gold...loved that thing. Regret selling it to this day.
'46 Plymouth Special Deluxe
My first car (in '75-76) was an old 46 plymouth - it had a great body and a rusted out motor.
The only reason that my parents let me buy it was that they figured I would never get it running.
Only problem was that NAPA still sold Flathead 6 shortblocks! So 3 months later I was tearing up the road with that 3 on the tree!
It was a blast.... And could easily fit 5-6 buddies in it....

Did you ever hear that John Elway was a suspect at one time in the OJ case? Yeah, the cops were looking for a slow moving white Bronco.
Rocky, I have a 46 Plymouth sitting in my backyard. 4 doors, rear are the suicide. This one is/was owned by a friend. He asked if he could store it at ny place for a couple months, last November. I recently told him, either find a new home for it, or sign over the title and ill make it my mess. He has goobered the thing up. It would make a neat family cruiser with a bit of time and money!
White 86 Toyota standard bed 4x4 pickup with the 22R in it and a 4 speed. Fixed it up with a 6klb warn winch, brush guard, lights, rear tube bumper, Rhino plastic camper, bed kit which turned into a bed with storage, installed split bench seats, cruise control, intermittent wipers a very nice sound system and 31" tires. Bought it stock from the dealer with the only option being the A/C system.
I LOVED THAT TRUCK! Sold it to buy our first house...

Murf had a thing for red wheelers even back turn.
My first was a 1984 Scirocco
This car got me lots of girls back in the HS days!
Oh the good ol days
I still think this was one of the best looking cars ever made by VW... It was my "little Ferrari " 
This pic is of the web, but mine was exactly same color and even same hella square fog lights which are not stock.. I wonder if it's the same car? 
I sold it in mint condition and bought a POS 87 Bronco that I eventually donated to my younger brother 
with the advice "So you want to learn how to 
eh? Here ya go.. You'll learn or you'll give it back to me" .. then I got a 95 4runner and never left Toyota after that 
!
I wish I still had my ol Scirocco!

Bump to resurrect a fun thread
1965 Ford F-100 short bed w/ 300 inline six and three speed on the floor and posi rear end. Drove it for 3 years and gave it to my youngest brother as a graduation gift. He got in a fight with his GF late one night, drove very upset in the rain and taco'd it around a phone pole. He was ok...the truck...not so much...the pole even worse.

1971 Datsun 510
Late '60s or early '70s Austin America. This dog of a car could hit 55 mph going down a steep hill and maybe 40 going up one.
Had a positive ground so I had to wrap my stereo head & CB radio in cardboard so they wouldn't touch any metal.
Fun car!

parents never bought me a car, but have always bought my sisters' cars. I bought my first car in 97; a 87 Camaro with 2.8L V6...but dad found it and i didn't really want it.
first that I found and bought because I wanted it was a 78 Bronco with a 400 and factory quad shocks in the front.
first NEW car I bought was a 05 Scion xB.

Bought myself back in 1980 - a 1973 CJ-5 Jeep , color - red with a 232 engine, 4 speed, 3 inch lift and 32" tires with white spoke rims. Swapped in some high back front buckets seats from a Pinto I picked up from a salvage yard.
