my first was an EH Special with 179 and hydramatic, went like the clappers. Favourite? A toss up between an all original '79 HZ GTS with 5.0 litre and TH400, factory air and honeycombs ... and an HJ Sandman van with 4.2 and 4 speed.

My first car was a 180B, it got thrashed and pranged. I put a 35mm Weber on it with a sports air cleaner, then lost my licence DUI for a year and it ended up stuffed.
My fav was a 253 HQ Premier, column shift auto with a bench seat and power steering, |

The first car was a HB torana,just like monaro mark.It got me around for a couple of years,and I survived my P plate period unscathed.
My favorite would be my HZ sandman ute that I bought new,only to have to sell when I got married.
