Here are a few old ones, starting with the 1968 Mustang convertible that I drove during my senior year of high school and first year of college. Base model 289 V8 and AT, it was a hand-me-down from my big sister. I saved up from my gas station job for a budget-grade paint job, new tires and a new top.
The '71 or '72 Chev PU was one that my dad won on a government auction in Montana. We had fun going there to get it and drive it home to Oregon. It was a Dept. of Agriculture vehicle with short narrow box, 292 ci 6 cyl, 4 spd trans, disc brakes, limited slip diff, and heavy duty everything. Your tax dollars a work building that one. I stripped it down and my buddy repainted it in the original green color. It was my daily driver for a year or two.
The last pic is my 1962 MGA 1600 MkII. Final year for the model. I got it in 1980 as a non-running rust pile. Body-off rebuild and color change from the original MG Blue Iris to Porsche Guards Red (regrets on that part). I cut down the windscreen and deleted the bumpers. MGB front disc brakes and rear axle swapped in, along with a built 1800cc MGB engine. I still have his car and it looks no different than in this old pic (1987?), though I have grayed more than a little.
I've owned a couple of other MGs and one more Mustang. I'll try to find pics and scan them.
