Spinoff of "beaters": How OLD was the 1st car you owned?

[Stratman50th]

First car was a 1965 Mustang convertible. Got it in 1976 so 11 years old.

1984 Mustangs are VERY cool. Just go to any Cars and Coffee gathering in your area. Known as the Fox Body. And a very popular pursuit vehicle with Police Departments because they were FAST.

Maybe it depends on the version. I can't recall if mine was a 4 or 6 cylinder, but either way, it didn't have the prestige or beauty of the 60's Mustangs.

First car, 1981 Cutlass Supreme. It was big, green, and gifted for a short while by my parents as I saved to buy my own.

First car I saved for, 1984 Silver Nissan 200SX with a fast back. I LOVED that car.

Mine was a 1974 Ford Maverick in 1990. So as old as me - 16 years. It was a piece of crap. Next year at 50 I'll be buying my first brand new car.

As the owner of a restored 1965 Mustang I can appreciate that. But a 1984 Mustang today is almost 40 years old and a classic in it's own right. Highly collectable now.
