Default Re: Everybody Remembers Their First

Mine was a 1968 Mustang Fastback with the 302 V8 in it. 1st year for the 302, I think. Color was a Brown Metallic - Ford was just coming out with that color. From what I can see, looks like the Brown Metallic is coming back in 2013 on some marques. Bought it new my junior year in High School. Sticker was just over $3200!! Dealer I purchased the car from was running an ad stating he'd give $500 for anything that "walked, crawled or rolled". Took my 10-speed Schwinn to him for the down payment. Still have the Schwinn! He just took $500 off the sticker price. I thought that was a big deal!!

Those were the days!! I could get 5 McDonald's hamburgers for a $1. That also bought me 5 gallons of gas!!!
