My first F-body was an '87 Firebird, 305/auto. I bought it in '90 I believe.

My first F body was a 1985 Trans Am.
It was such a flaming POS that I never bought another GM until my 2001 SS

Factory ground effects. Trans Ams of the same era had them as well.
My first Fbody was an 89 Firebird, 2.8 v6 with a 5spd. I filled the oil and checked the gas every stop, but that car was pretty bulletproof other than a faulty VATS ignition key. I replaced 3 starters in one day, I was sure that was the reason my car wouldn't start

My first f-body was a 1974 Firebird Esprit (350 2-barrel), boy could that car run. The only problem it rusted liked crazy.

'05 Harley - 21k m- '98 Z28 black - 69k mi
My very first car ever was this nine year old 1976 Camaro with rust and 116,000.0 miles 350 auto
But a deer took the old '76 out and I then got this two year old Mustang GT 5.0 5-speed with 46k on odometer
I couldn't afford insurance on the Mustang and traded it on this brand new Pontiac Grand Am in 1986, 4 banger
Hated the lack of power and got rid of the 4 banger for this 1979 Z28
350 in it was a terd but better than that 4 banger, I wish I had better photos, wasn't into photography then like I am now, but I had painted the steel wheels on that Z white, looked cool with the chrome rings

Arctic White, red/gray- 1997 Corvette, 92 Typhoon
My first was a 96 formula auto, cloth, no t-tops, very basic but it only had 55k miles on it and it was 10 years old. I had a lot of fun in it though, put a few mods on it. When I got rid of it I traded it in on my 2000 T/A. Wasn't planning on getting rid of it, I was planning on fixing it up and turning it into a drag car but I stopped at a dealer and fell in love with the fully optioned 2000 t/a 6 speed. So when I traded it in both window motors were shot, one headlight motor was on the way out, rear suspension was shot, and the opti-spark just started acting a little funny. They still gave me 3500 for it, I was expecting far worse.

2002 Z28 A4 NBM- Sadly now demodded :(
1st Camaro was a 1969 SS 396 that I bought in 1974. Spun a rod bearing so I drove it to the yard and got $250 for it. Back then they were just used cars. I only paid $600 and my 63 Ford Fairlane 500 for it.
Next one was a 67 RS that I bought in 79. Have had a Camaro of some sort since then (I've had 14 in that time span - mostly 1st gens).
Sorry no digital pics
