My first car, was a 1978 Toyota Corona.
Next car was a 1989 Mustang Convertible
Then I got the Vette.
Still have Eclipse so that doesn't count.
My favorite would have to be the Corona! It had a 2 liter 4 that actually had some good pep to it (for what it was). I beat a V6 Nova with that car! ;)
That was my car in high school so have lots of good memories with that car. It was originally tan but I painted it in my parents garage to Porsche slate gray metallic. This pic was taken many years after the paint and the trim is looking funky, but the paint held up pretty well over the years. I also debadged it too.
Traded it in on my Mustang. Got $400 for it (this was in '94). :sad:

I had a '69 Chevelle when I was in high school and it was the fastest car I have ever owned since I put a ZZ4 in my '72 Vette. I bought it from my brother in 1972 and graduated in '74. I believe it was a 350/350 and it would pull strong 13's.

P.S. I never owned one of those cars but I really like those cars
I've only owned relatively boring cars besides my Vettes

One of my favorites was a truck, 454SS lowered, and some goodies in the engine. One bad butt truck. Another favorite was a 77 Spitfire. Had a lots of fun with it.
