My first car? a $20 (yes $20) 63 Plymouth Valiant when I was 14.
I never had a Cutty of my own, but our family car from when I was four years old, to about six and a half, was a '72 442. I always wanted one.

My very first car was a '78 Subaru DL wagon I bought for $75. I sold it three months later, and bought a '72 Gran Torino. A previous owner had chopped it up, so when I got it, it had a 390, three speed on the floor, Starsky and Hutch paintjob, and the aforementioned Cragar SS rims. I lOVED THAT CAR.
