I started off with a barnfind 64 1/2 Mustang with a a260 V8. Pulled the motor and it was junk, sold it. Then bought a 63 Crew Cab for $275. Kept that and got into 240Zs. Good times.
the pic of the Z below is from a CL ad about 2 years ago and could have been my car from 35 years ago. Will never know, sold before I could see it.
