2008 ford ranger I bought new in high school.
When I first got it.

Where it ended up with some small mods on the high school budget

This is what started the ford ranger/mod addiction haha

1987 Ford Tempo. First car AND first Ford. It was my mom’s old car. We are a Ford Family - Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle worked for them.

1969 Corvette Coupe, L46 350/350HP, 4.11, 4-speed manual, Hooker chrome headers w/side tubes.

Bought used from an elderly lady in 1972 for $2500. Low mileage, great condition, and garaged.

Early 70's gasoline price wars were on - $0.19/gal for premium. Great time to own a gas guzzler and not worry about the price.

Loved the T-tops. Wish I still had this car today . . . but wouldn't trade my Ranger SCab for it !!

Don't have a pic handy, but similar to this . . .

Mine was a '72 Maverick Grabber. It had a 302 w/automatic trans, two little "scoops" on the hood and the smaller chrome bumpers before the big ugly bumpers a year or so later. That thing had some get up and go, but was terrible in the snow. I had to load the sh*t out of the trunk with my ice hockey goalie equipment and a cast iron sink that was strangely always laying out back behind the garage when I was still living at home to help get traction.

Learned to drive and took my drivers exam in my dad's 58 Ford. Bought my first in 1964, a new 64 Falcon Sprint. Wanted a Mustang, but they were spoken for and pre-ordered for months. The Sprint was basically the same thing. Sold it in 67 when I went into the Navy.

Not a personal vehicle, but my first "FORD daily driver" was HULK, a green 1984 Ford LTL9000 with a Detroit 425.

The first car I ever bought with my own money and drove was a 1973 Ford F100 XLT Ranger. It had a beast 390 engine and was painted primer black by the previous owner. I learned a ton about working on cars with this guy but had to sell it when I needed something bigger inside for the family. Wish I still had it, but this is the glove box badge that is all I still have from it.

1998 Ranger XLT Supercab, hunter green in color. It was a great truck until a divorce came along. It wouldn't have been impossible but it would have been difficult to haul around my two kindergarten/preschool aged kids so I moved on to a 2008 Crown Vic LX with a P-71 police package.

Please don't bury me for the loser flag front plate, but this was my 2000 F350 XL with the woefully weak 7.3 PowerStroke. Seriously, that thing was slow. I had a buddy with a 6.0 who was towing a 20 foot boat that was faster than me, and I wasn't towing anything. And apparently this engine dropped a cylinder after I sold it around 150,000 miles so the longevity wasn't there, either.

Blue interior, bench seats, and a tape deck. Mmmmmm so quality.
