How about a pic of your first Mustang, ok me first....I bought this car in 1977 for $800, this shot was at my 1978 HS graduation. It was powered by a 302 topped with a pair of 500 Holley 2 barrels sending power through a 4 speed ending in a 4;56 rear. I rarely used 1st gear and stayed off the interstate. Gee, why did my mom always stay up until I got home. Sold it a year after this was taken for 2 reasons, the rear shackles were rusted and almost coming through the trunk and enlisting in the USAF.
Thats my story and I am sticking by it...How about anybody else????

I had a 1983 Capri "Black Magic Edition".4 spd,T-Tops with the stock gold rims and "cat" on the front quaters ,and the special Black and Gold interior. That was the only one I hav ever scene around the area. Haven't scene one since.
Only if I knew what I know now, there would be no way I would have gotten rid of that car.
Damn I miss it!
I have to find some pics.

What you see in the sig is my first. Bought it about 5 years ago because I wanted a toy. Was actually looking at a 16ft center consol boat to fish in. and stumbled across this in the Want Ads. I think that I made the better (more expensive) choice!!

This was my first, bought it in July of 2007, totaled it in October of 07

! Was pulling out off a bridge in Rumford Maine, looked both ways...started to pull out, looked again and there was an 18 wheeler barrel assing around the corner in a 25mph zone...i hadn't quite let off the clutch yet and as i saw the big ol truck coming i floored it...the tires spun and i fishtailed, I tried to get control of the car as it headed into oncoming traffic, I then did a 180 in the middle of the road and went straight into a rock wall

. The bitch of it was the rock wall was about 8 feet long...on either side of the wall was just grass...so had i been off a couple feet either way I would just gone onto the grass, but...oh well. I didn't hit anyone or hurt anyone, I survived but the car didn't.

Keeper, that is nuts! At least you made it out ok.

My current car is my first. Pretty much grew up in the thing when I was younger since it was my dad's before. Here's an old pic

Well, the "good" ones are the ones you walk away from. And we're glad for that.

Hopefully you've come to that perspective, though I'm sure it was hard to think that way at the time.

This was my first one of many money pits to come

1993 gt This picture was taken 5 years later and the paint was original

My 1990 2.3L Mustang fresh when i turned 16 back in 1998.

I wish i kept it and did a 5.0 swap. It had a nice rare exterior color - Light Crystal Blue and the paint was in great shape. Overall the car was a 9 our of 10. I sold it to buy my '88 5.0.

Posted by: Keeper

Yeah, to this day I still find myself replaying the whole thing in my mind, every time I do I cringe at the thought

...poor car. BUT you are certainly right, the fact that I walked away with just a cut on my forehead (from a flying CD that popped out of the visor cd holder...lol) is whats important. Cars can be replaced, I can't!
When I first got my new stang I was actually scared to drive it...kept thinking of the accident in the old one...not sure if thats normal but man...the thought of crashing another mustang

! I'm fine now...but I find myself babying the car alot, no chirping the tires, no crazy driving...and MOST of the time I do the speed limit

...find myself cruising in the slow lane on the highway!!...UGH...ok I've shared too much...I feel like a wuss now

It was a very quick car, looking back I can be glad I didn't get hurt in it. We used to 1/8 mile drag on a bridge over the merrimack river. Never drank and drove, my license meant too much to me. Ridden with some pretty hammered drivers though......

Bought a 1987 GT brand new. I had saved up for a year to put a ton down so I could afford the payments. Total price was $11,700 out the door. Bought it in February of 1987. They were a delayed production car, and it was one of the very first of the new 87 design delivered in New England. I didn't see others around for almost 6 months.
