Classic Ford Owners? (Some Lightning Diversion, For Fun)

[3DogKnight]

Ha might not be what everyone considers classic but I love this thing.

I had a 75 F250 4X4 Candy Apple red that I bought new for $5400. 360 4spd with granny gear. It didn't have power windows and locks, no carpet but it did have an AM radio and PS and PB. It actually came with split rims. Do you remember those? 10mpg on a good day. That truck was my first (of many) new trucks and the one I miss the most.

I’m not in line for a lightening, I already have a lightening-lite (powerboost). But here is my 65 coupe. Pretty much the opposite of the OP, nothing original left, ‘cept maybe the roof skin.

1996, 5 speed manual. Fun little bugger

My 1st truck was A 75 4X4 in white, but that was back in 92, great trucks. This 79 has 4x4, 302 and the granny gear 4spd. MPGs are comparable

Anyone else have a classic Ford? I’m assuming most of us here are car enthusiasts of some sort. I’ll start. I have a first run 1965 (some call it a 64.5 but officially it’s a 65) Mustang. She has all matching body panel numbers. The original paint color (but repainted) of Caspian Blue Metallic. The interior is the white and blue. She has a white top, the 289 v8 engine (all stock) and lots of new exhaust parts. She’s also wearing Hankook white walls and the original deluxe wheel covers. Took it out yesterday since we had a rare sunny Fall day in Seattle. Here she is…

I am curious what everyone else may have?

One of only 251 built 1968 High Country Special Mustangs. Owned it for 44 years.

"1964 1/2" Mustang (officially 1965 like the OP's, but interestingly enough Illinois titled it as a 1964!) in poppy red

Your basic Mustang from those days - 170 ci 6-cylinder with automatic "Green Dot" transmission. This car has factory air conditioning... combine it with the 6 cylinder and it can do 0-60 in about 5 or so... minutes...

I sold it last year because it just wasn't getting enough attention from me, and someone else begged to buy it.

I also have a 2007 F-250 Super Duty named "Rusty" with the 6.0 (and the war stories to go with it), but no one wants to see a picture of that rusty pile of junk. And add to that a 2002 Ford E350 V10-powered motorhome named "Boxy".

Have a survivor 94 that I enjoy a lot.

So, this is my grandmothers 69 bronco. Restored 5 years ago. 3 on the tree.

1958 Thunderbird. Built it in 2007 and it's been sitting around since then, not driven much. Has an FE 390 bored out to 440. Not a speed demon or anything, it's just a compatible engine what we were able to get because the 352 in it was trashed from poor storage from the previous owner.
