Cool!

Nice, but it can't compare to the 1967 canary yellow F-100 with 6cyl, Granny 4speed, no radio, no air and more dents than Edward James Olmos' face.
She was a peach!

Congratulations Vorticon!
Much nicer than the 1960 Dodge Matador that was my first car.

1977 Oldsmobile Delta 98 Regency Brougham was my 1st.
Was a sand beige ish color. My friends called it the "Goldsmobile".
Last year for the cast iron .350 engines.
What a beast.
It was the only car I have owned where I could lay flat in the back seat w/o hardly bending my kness (I was 6'2" then). O' the tales that back seat could tell........
It actually had a removable trash can under the dash on the passenger side that was quite handy.
I ramped it off a small bridge doing @ 90mph and it was airborn for a good 40-50' before it landed (you could see the gouges where the frame hit the concrete when it landed) and the dang thing STILL ran for almost two more years (it was never quite the same after that jump tho').
I miss that car.
Picture the car below, but gold, and a Brougham. (fancy fancy)

First car was a 66 Caprice. Then a 65 Impala.... then 65 Buick Special, then a 63 Impala....
And THEN...a brand new 77 Camaro Z28. Graduation was good to me.

Gratz vorticon, brings back memories.
1972 SS nova, 350 4speed. Think I did almost as much wrenching it as I did driving it. I was tough on cars back then.:D
GL with it.

1971 LeMans Sport.... they do NOT float:(

WTG! It’s a good feeling to own your ride.
Not meant as a jab at all, but how have you managed so long without your own car? Did you borrow?

Nice looking car there.
LOTS nicer than my first. It was a 61 Dodge Lancer with a badly burned 170 CI slant 6. The lady that gave it to me in return for having worked on it previously ran it out of oil and the engine siezed. I put 3 quarts in it and drove it home but the engine was toast. I put in a 225 CI slant six. The carb stuck up through the hood so I put a hood scoop on it to hide the hole. I drove it for 4 years and sold it for $500. It also ate clutches about every 6 weeks. I had it down to a science.

You'll love that FWD in an Alberta winter, especially with good snow tires on it! Congrats!

Sounds familiar, Mav. :rofl I had a 1961 Olds Delta 88 4-door that had a 455 dropped in it. The link below shows me putting speakers in the back of it in 1974 (I had a farmers permit to drive) ;) http://pic4.picturetrail.com/VOL767/2726312/14205248/229161898.jpg
:rofl Ahhh, the "Hair" 60's and 70's ;)

My first brand NEW ride was an ice blue '70 Plymouth Duster after having driven a couple of well used conveyances. $2300 cash straight out of the showroom. I just got impresions made for two crowns to top off some dental implants. Just the 2 crowns cost more than that new Duster did.

borrowed when i had to, and my boss drives me to work. so there wasnt much need for my own at the time.
and i was waiting until i had enough money saved that i could afford something decent.
"You'll love that FWD in an Alberta winter, especially with good snow tires on it!"
after driving around in my dads 2wd truck last winter, i know it will be good... the auto is smooth, the v6 is decently powerfull, and the car is comfortable so it should make a decent touring car next summer.

I loved this old beast... No carpeting, you could hose it down on the inside. This helped a lot when beer was spilled.
Mine was dark blue with a black top.
