My first daily driver was a 1967 Mustang, I bought it a few months before my 16th birthday in 1981. Had it for 25 years until I was rear ended in 2006, which totaled the car. I then bought a 68 which I still have today.

1987 Mustang GT with a 5 speed manual and 302. My new Ranger would kill it in a race.

1971 Pinto. And then I put a V8 in it.

Imagine the Pinto scared and shocked a lot of racers .

It was pretty quick. 289, solid lifter, 4 speed and 4.56 gears. And it was my daily driver during trade school. Pretty radical for the times. 1972.

Finally caught up enough for a picture of my 1st Ford.

Way back in 1979 I drove a '74 Mustang II Mach I in Grabber Blue. (Yes it was a fun car) It took me from NJ to KS my first real job out of college. Before that my learner family car was a plain jane automatic column shift 1970 Torino 302 2V.

1990 F150. When we went to the city to get the topper we walked across the highway to a shopping centre to find some wedding rings. Family had all kinds of fun adventures in the mountains with that truck. Had a ceiling rack in the cab for my cowboy hat. One of the babies slithered out of her car seat in the back when I undid her harness on a logging road but I caught her just before she hit the gravel. First heard “I’m my own grandpa” on a long work drive in that truck, still remember the road I was on sitting there laughing. Went to minivans when the babies got older, now they’re grown and gone I’ve got the Ranger.

Looks great reminds me of larger version of my 90 Ranger .

I had an '89 that looked exactly like this (except no camper cover)...

1964 1/2 Mustang convertible with a 260 cid V-8 and 3 sp auto. Poppy red with white top & interior, chrome reverse wheels, and grille fog lamps. What a good looking underpowered girl magnet!
