Looks like I'm not the only one whose first car was 6 cylinder Mustang. 67 Fastback, put the big mags & wheels with the air shocks. Paid $930 for it. To bad it had no power, but it looked cool! Ended up painting it "Corvette" green & rebuilding the engine (Well my Dad did most of the work).
This was during the famous gas rationing in 1974. I REALLY wanted the 68 Camaro SS, but Dad said no way. Too bad, I saw the same car last year advertised for $20K!
Sold the 'Stang 4 years later for $1300. Bought my first P-car, an 914 1.8. That was a great car, even though it didn't have much power. Until I totaled it....
