    It was a 69-1/2, the original $1995 car. The only options I had were an AM radio and a day/night mirror that was required by the State of NY.

    Mine was a 67 Mustang, 170 straight six with a C4, Brittany blue with matching interior, no power anything, not even in the motor! Kept it 6 months and traded it for another 67, but this one was gold with a black vinyl top, autumn gold inside, power steering, brakes, a/c, and best of all, a 289 C4! Wish I had of kept that one! Sold it for $600 back in 1977, with a set of smoke mags and nearly new tires! Oh and by the way, :Welcome: !

    My first car was a '61 Studebaker 2dr wagon. Used more oil than gas, and was a blast. So rusted out in the floors and roof, that we had to use umbrellas when it rained....inside the car! Wish I had it today, as they are very hard to come by now.

    1973) My 1st one was a 64 Dodge Dart, slant six, push button automatic. My dad cosigned at a local bank for me to get a $400 loan which cost me about $30 a month to pay back. Man, those "WERE" the days. Why didn't I buy Shelbies though? :huh:

    My first was a 1973 Ford Pinto (Moms hand-me-down) which I eventually added a 289, C-4 trans and a Mustang rear. Was stolen after joining the military.
