ROFL, doh! Oh well...so much for me actually knowing WTF I'm talkin' 'bout 'eh?<g>
Yeah the Malibu was a straight six, the Monte I bought 4 years (yes...4 years<g>
later had the 305 in it that I couldn't keep running to save my a$$. It eventually got replaced with a built to the hilt 350 Nitrous, but, that's a story for another day.wolf, preferably a day where I don't have my daughter climbing up and down my chair!

RE: First car
'66 GTO in 1976 for $600. Car needed a safety inspection but needed tires to pass. I got a part time job at Pizza Hut and my Pop loaned me the money for tires. He did that for me a lot, loaning me money if I showed him I was a good credit risk. All the way to loaning the equity he had on a house I bought from him, better interest rates than the banks but better than he could get in a savings account if i paid me outright. He taught me well.

RE: First car
First one I drove: Mom's 64 Rambler Ambassador, 327 auto, you wouldn't think a Rambler would haul ***, but this one did.
First one I bought: 59 Ford Fairlane, straight 6 and 3-on-the-tree.
25 bucks in 1969.
