1976 Triumph TR6. I was a senior in high-school, Niceville, Florida, class of '84!!!
Yep, I still have the paper temporary tag and paper key tag thing from the car lot. The two pics from the beach are from when I lived at Tango-Mar. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f9ef7c5d50.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c32bcac161.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a8b12e5fd2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...99af7a8ae5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7ce63b3c12.jpg Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk |

That led to a couple more Triumphs, a 69 TR6 and a 75 TR6. |

My thing was a 74, just like this one. Eventually it had flares on the back fenders and white spoke wheels. |

I had to buy a set of tires for it. I went with re-cap bias ply tires. The set of 4 mounted and balanced was $24. And I remember my outrage the first time I had to pay THREE whole dollars for a fill-up! |

Put the motor on an upside down trash can next to my parent’s back porch, the book on the porch steps and WALLAH I’m riding. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1716051207.jpg |

Here are a couple more pictures of my TR6. These were taken in the summer of 1987 when I was living at Tango-Mar (see the "Super Snark Sailing" thread). Beachside pics were taken at Highway 98 when the road ran alongside the gulf.
I was living the dream that summer, living in a house on the beach, sailing every day, and driving a red TR6!!! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c4aa97bbda.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...775e7cb575.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...45d91fd19d.jpg Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk |
Depending on what is meant by “mine”, my first cars, in the early 1990s, were a 1980 Fiat Turbo Spider (my dad and I got it from a friend of his as a father-son project; it didn’t formally become mine until I was in engineering school) and a 1993 Nissan Sentra SE-R, a high school graduation gift from my grandparents. I still have both cars. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1716178169.jpg

First Car

Very nice! I was looking at one a couple of days ago parked near my place. Painted yellow. A beautiful car.

I answered this question the first 10 times this title has been brought back.

Question- can you pull up any previous "first car" threads? |
A blue1967 Mustang. Auto, 289 2 barrel.
$600 . Paid half from my lawn mowing savings and financed the rest at about 30 bucks a month. Dad paid insurance. Dad had everything set up at the bank but I had to sit across from the loan officer and make my case for the loan. Dad co-signed. |
First full day I owned my SC I drove it 1300 miles from Manchester, NH to Martin, Tn.
Gave the owner the check Friday night and drove it home on Saturday. |
