My first was a 1972 green Ford Gran Torino Sport like this one but with a white vinyl top instead of black that I paid $850 in 1981 when I was in high school. It had a 351 Cleveland for a engine and it was in fair to good condition!
Now own a factory ordered 2017 Z06 Torch Red Vert 3LZ A8 which will be my last Corvette!

My first car was a black C4 still have it 25 plus years later, it's been in storage last 10 years so I'll have to post a pic of that one this summer when i finally go get it, my latest and only one since that one is a 17 Z51 all black everything. Was really into big black lifted duramax trucks last 15 years, but the new C7 is a righteous sports car and with my dad closing in on 70 I wanted a black vette for us to mess with like we did on that C4.

My first car was a black 1955 Ford convertible bought used in 1957 for $250. The only Ford I ever owned. My first Corvette was a 1970 convertible bought new in 1970 for about $6000. My current Corvette, my 8th, is a 2014 C7 Coupe.

First car was a 1967 SS Camaro with a 2 speed Powerglide. I told my friends in high school that it had two speeds, Fast & Faster! Last Corvette, which is my second Corvette, is a 2012 Grand Sport 3LT A6. Man how cars have evolved...

First car I bought with my own money - 1973 MGB that looked pretty close to this. It had a sweet, wide metallic blue stripe down the middle.
