The Ford Barn - View Single Post - what was your first car and how much did you pay

In 64 I was handed a '53 Ford 2dr. I had been working for my StepDad for 2 years and he needed me to be available everyday ( 7 days week ).
It had the wrong motor, OHV6, but I was cool daddio.
Next 2 years saw 2 Dodges, a 49 and a $100 56-( D500 Hemi ) come and go. Then my first longterm ride, three yrs, a $100 57 210 2dr. That, with help got converted from a 235 Pglide To an overbored 283, 3 on the floor.
When I got a right deal on a $75 55 Nomad ( gutted and abused hawk-meat ex drag contender )I stripped the 57 to bring it to life. Kept that 'til 71.
Sorry to drone on and on
