My first "real" car was a '67 Fury convertible with a 383, Really cool car and it ran great. Didn't have it long, Dad drove it and he mashed the gas at a intersection and it absolutely blew the tires off. He decided it was a bit too much for a new driver and sold it. It was replaced with a Triumph TR-4, which has to be the first time a TR-4 was purchased because it was perceived to be "safer":
My first new car was an orange Omni O24 Sport.
