Turn back time!!!

[draggin50]

Lets see pictures of the cars that started it for you. I understand some of you are to old and they didn't make camera's back then!!!

This was my first Mustang. A 90 LX, 5.0 5 speed with black interior. Painted Porsche Guards Red, moldings, locks, handles and all! It was bad ass! Stock motor with shorty headers, O/R H pipe, and Flowmasters, 4:10 gear and classic Draglites! It went a best of 13.63@99 on a old set of 26x6 Firestone slicks. Later on I bought another 302 with a set of 70 Windsor heads shaved .020" and 1.94/1.60 valves, F cam, and carbed it with a Victor Jr. and 750 Holley. Went 12.45 on motor back then in 1998. Sprayed the guts out of it all the time until it broke ring lands and sold it. I haven't been able to keep a car since.

I always loved cars as most of you know lol... but when I was a baby, my Dad already had his '65 Fairlane for a couple years after rebuilding it. And when neither me or my sister would fall asleep when we were little, we would go around the block in the Fairlane and the rumble of the 289 HiPo would put us right out.

And when I turned 15, I got my first car. My '77 Mustang II. My Grandma bought the car brand new. I got it and unfortunately hit a deer with it and rebuilt it. Also put on mandatory '70s Aluminum Slots

The Fairlane got me definitely in to cars, and my Mustang II sold me on loving Mustangs!

Here's my 1st, 1965 Mustang fastback 289 auto, back in 1981:

That's a good looking 65! The price on those today are unreal. My favorite is the 69 Mach 1 but Ive only saw one that Id actually give an arm and a leg for!

[Stangman]

Yep still has it Brian. Thats actually a picture from last summer.

[draggin50]

Man I'd be conning him into letting me drive that some!!

[Stangman]

I drove it to one of the SBZ cruise ins a few years ago at QSL in Milford.

[rtvickers]

I love the Mustang II.

[maverick]

My first car was a midnight blue 1982 Camaro Berlinetta with T-tops... 305ci motor and a 700R4 transmission

[draggin50]

No mullet???

[Stangman]

I love the Mustang II.

Not sure how long you've lived in Eastgate but I used to work at Pep Boys back between '03 and '06. And it was always parked in the corner by 32. Til I got my '94 GT that is.

[2Fast4You]

My first turn to the Blue Oval was a 1967 Ford Galaxy 500, stock 390ci FE big block car. I then ended up selling it for a 1987 Ford Mustang LX convertible, 5.0 5-speed of course from Gould & Son in the mid 90's.
My dad was a Mopar nut, so, I had always been around Mopars growing up and went Ford when I was a teenager.

I was always to poor to have one of the Gould Mustangs back in the day! My buddy Raz had #9 and I loved that car!!

[4n_eatr]

My first real car was a 1972 Chevelle SS that actually was a turd. Bunch of issues with it so I sold it and bought my first Fox. A 1988 GT with a 306 and a B Cam. Someone pull out in front of me and totalled it. Then bought a really fast 89 LX with a ton of mods but wasn't assembled very well so I sold it and bought my favorite one to date, an 87 GT. That's the one I got into cruising with Mid-Ohio Street Stangs (anyone remember them?) and made a few cruise ins with the SBZ crowd. I have pictures of it somewhere. Really miss that car.

[mustang8998]

My first Mustang was this '84 T-top GT. I bought it in 1990, in Alabama. Original stick, but someone put a C-4 in it and put 14 inch wheels on (I assume they did that because of the price of tires, for original TRX wheels).

It was a slug.....

[draggin50]

I had an 84 T top GT back in the day too. Cool cars!

[chris91]

This is the one that got me started. Always loved the Fox body growing up but didnt own one until 2003. This was my 92 GT that had a ton of shit done to it. Was a really fun car. Best it ran was a 12.7.

[draggin50]

Gotta love the 2 tone GT's!! That's a sweet looking car!

[chris91]

It was rough around the edges but it was definitely fun. I had better pics but dont know what happened to em.

[maverick]

Yeah, I had a mullet... :lol: Back in those days I think just about everybody was wearing the mullet, including some females :lol: We didn't have camera phones either... or I would have pictures
No mullet???

Haha! I bet! Polaroids was the shit back then though!! Pictures while you wait!

[motox159]

No picture but I had picked up an 84 GT when I was 19. 30 over, edelbrock intake and carb, some sort of cam, longtubes and H-pipe, 5-spd. Bought it from my brother on a payment plan....turned out he never fully paid his neighbor for it. So I had to let it go to pay my remaining bill, so he could pay off the other guy. My dad always had an early 70's Nova or Chevelle back in the day. Always liked those. My stepdad turned me into a Ford guy....and I will never turn back to the dark side!

[draggin50]

That sucks! At least you was able to enjoy it for a little while.

[leroy93lx]

I was born into the car hobby and have always stuck with it. Along with the whole family. Here are the cars that were in the driveway when I came home from the hospital in 1981. At the time we had a 3000+ employee Chrysler factory in the middle of town so Mopars were hot!

[draggin50]

That's a lot of nice cars! Im sure they would bring a pretty penny today!

[mustang8998]

Man....I'd love to have that Dodge pick-up!

[leroy93lx]

I fully plan to buy my dad another Polara or A100 when he retires. Those were the two he missed the most and he sold them back then to give us a pretty damn good upbringing.
