This is the only picture I could find ... but it's the 63 and half Ford Falcon I purchased in 1964 right before I got married in that same year too.

Plus the one I traded the Falcon for ... a 65 Shelby GT 350 I purchased for only $2600

@Reece that Custom Line is exactly the same model and colour my old man had when I was a kid:D ,unfortunately he sold it and got a new XA station wagon when they came out in 73 (Oh gods...I'm showing my age with that statement:cry:)

My first car wasn't a ford but a Holden HG Monaro V8 253 was 19 when i got it abit to big for my boots at that age where i thought i was king but drove it like a grannie. Mine was the classic red with black strip.

Now i own a Japper :oops:

IIRC when the XY GTHO Phase III came out it was $5,300 love to go back in time, purchase and place in storage!:D

Here's the closest I can get. My first vehicle was a '85 Ford Bronco II. Three-tone paint job (factory Black paint, rust, and sun damage). Had a six-cylinder under the hood with manual transmission. Loved it, drove it like a mad bat out of hell. She was very reliable, until the pizza delivery job.

R.I.P. Black Beauty :salute:

Never mind the slippers, dig the socks :yeah:

:03:

Yes I have some good memories in the back seat of a couple of my cars!:oops::cool: Better be quick, the wife is home!:D
Also have some bad memories, been a passenger of a few cars and a truck that rolled!!:dead: The things you do when you're young, you get the idea that you're immortal! but no, just stupid!:yep:

I am glad none of those accidents prevented us from meeting here. :sunny:

You mean you actually got paid for licking rear windows!! :o

Well I don't know about windows!;) Oh I am naughty!:oops:

You will faint now my friend. Sit down. :DL

50th anniversary of an american car. Big whoop. When you guys figure out that roads aren't all straight and develop something without medieval suspension, then I shall be happy. Until then, just no. Come to eee yurrr ooop, we have corners. I know this may be confusing to some american readers, but a corner is a bit in the road, where it deviates from being straight and goes in a different direction. I know it's some form of wicked sorcery but if you go to eeeyurrroooop or affrikaaaar or even aysjeeaaah you will find these devilish things. :O:

You rock :yeah::rock:

It reminds me of the differences between F1 racing and NASCAR. In F1 you often have to turn right. :D
