My first car was a used 1957 chevy Belair 2dr hardtop back in 1972 followed shortly by a 1955 chevy Belair 2dr hardtop with a 427cubic inch big block and a m22 4 speed trans. This list after that car is too long to put in writing buy I think the G35 is either my 36 or 37th car.

If it was an original LS6 motor and it was numbers matching it's worth a whole lot more than 50k closer to 125k++

First Car: Seven-year-old 1950 Ford
Favorite Car: 1956 Triumph TR-3 Roadster
Added: Learned to drive & shift on the Ford. 3 speed manual on the steering column. Took less than an hour to learn to shift. My dad was impatient.

1980 Honda Accord LX hatchback with a twice rebuilt carb and faulty brakes. But thanks to Crazy Eddie, a hacksaw, a screwdriver and a couple of hours of my time, it had a kickin' Kenwood tape deck and Technics speakers!

I had a '77 Ford F350 SuperCab... a monster.
Had a 460ci V8 big block and exceptionally large gears. 8 MPG max. Downhill with a tailwind.... thank ye gods it had 2 20 gallon gas tanks, since the closest town from my house growing up was San Antonio... 20 miles away.

1987 Mercury Grand Marquis 4dr White (What a PIMPED out ride that was. Chrome steel bumpers, a dashboard the size of a football field, and a thirsty V8)
1998 Mitsubishi Montero Sport 4x4 LS Offroad Pkgs (Great Great truck! Bought when it was brand new and had it slogging through mud only a few days later. Put about 93k on it before I sold it last week to some guy who is exporting it to Russia)
2005 DG/Stone G35 Coupe 6mt Aero/Prem/Splash. What a wonderful piece of machinery.

It was a Beast!
I bought it in late 1973...at the ripe old age of 16!
I found it from a friend of a friend.......
This guy's son had ordered it in 1969...took delivery and then went back to Viet Nam on some clean up missions....and never came home.
It sat in his garage and pained the man to look at it...cause it reminded him of his son.
I STOLE it....I think it had around 8K miles on it when I bought it.
I owned it until around 1977....when we had the first big gas crunch of my life...I think gas went to about $.50 a gal.....lol.
Oh...if I could go back.....

A two year old 1972 Chevelle SS Convertible. 43,000 miles. Paid $2700.00! I was 16 and had $700.00 saved. My mom co-signed my first auto loan.
Sure wish I had it now! Looked like this one.

1983 BMW 320is
That car had close to 200,000 miles on it, new engine with about 30,000 on it when I bought it. It was built like a tank though, never had any major problems with it, and sold it a year and a half later for 200 bucks less than I bought it!
