I've bought all my own cars.

"I bought mine" he said, as he hung his head low and slinked out the door.

Nothing wrong with the 70s Nova clone Venturas. Now the Daewoo LeMans, that's another story...

Bought every car I've owned

I've got this theory it's not the car, but who did the deciding.

I've had at least 30+ cars, bought all myself.

Ugliest is a 323 hatchback. Had it for month or 2, friends car died so I gave it to him just so I didn't have to drive it anymore. All of my ugly cars had tons of character. Dasher wagon with huge greenhouse, 63 VW crewcab pick-up I got for $275 now worth $60K and so on.

Another I'd rank up there was my 924. Always thought it was void of any style or character.

Yep, 924 was a low point for Porsche IMO.

The AWD AMCs like that were just ahead of their time. They'd probably sell like hotcakes today.

Nuff said.

We bought three of them one day at the car auction to flip. I think we made $500 a piece.

Ugly.
Slow.
Cool!
Sorry no pics right now.

I didn’t own it, it was my Dad’s car. 1956 tricolor Hudson Hornet. The ugliest car ever!

I remember my daddy blew a gasket when I wanted to sell the B210 and buy a V8 Vega. No way was he going to allow me to be some hotrod floosy hanging out at discos. He had a plan for me, and I was to follow it.

I never got the Vega, but I'm proud to say I followed my plans, not his.

Not mine but my sister had a Datsun 810 and I always thought it was the ugliest looking car. It did however have that smooth straight six from the Z car of the day making it kinda the predecessor to the Maxima.
Sis had the car for a year or so and then traded it for a 280ZX. I had my TR6 and she had her 280ZX, good times. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b83be76322.jpg

Had a 78 Ranchero, was a terrible car and a terrible truck, had it 3 months, could not sell it quick enough.
400 V8 with a 2 barrel, no power, terrible gas mileage.

Ugly overall, maybe from a mile away looks like an old front engine Indy roadster.
Thunder roadster, light, fun to drive, Hayabusa engine and best part a sequential motorcycle transmission.

But it got me and 3 friends and our camping gear safely to (and from) the 1986 24 hrs. of Daytona to see Al Holbert win one of the most amazing and exciting 24s ever.

My 1st car was a 104 Peugeot, and surely the ugliest.
I bought it for 500 francs with the engine dismantled in the trunk, rebuilt it with my dad, and sold it for 1500 a few years later. It was 1978 model, same year as the 911 I still have.

Back in the day my buddy totaled his Vette. So he went to Baldwin-Motion in Long Island and got a conversion kit for the Vega.So we stuffed the V8 in the Vega shorten rear and everything needed to get the Vega on the road. Well, that didn't last long. A tree jumped in front of the Vega. Always wanted one, but for some reason never did.:D
