    The very first vehical I owned was a 1971 F-250 Custom (picture below, taken a few days after I bought the truck). Had a F.E. 360, C6, and Dana 60 rear with 3.73:1 gears. The guy I bought it from had owned it since 1974, and claimed the actual mileage of the truck to be over 400,000. I bought the truck for $300 on Thanksgiving day in 2002. I put a couple of thousand miles on the truck before it lost oil pressure and spit the connecting rod through the side of the block about a year later. It was showing 98,316 (498,000 if what the previous owner claimed was true) miles on the 5 digit odometer at that time. I replaced the engine with a 300 I6/3 speed and drove the truck a few more times. It currently has not been driven since Feb. 2005, though I do start it every now and then and let it run for a bit.

    I currently own these cars:

    1968 F100 (was bought as a parts truck)
    1969 F100 Ranger XLT (was also a parts truck)
    1971 F250 Custom
    1969.5 Maverick
    1972 Maverick
    1973 2 door Maverick
    1973 4 door Maverick (parts car)
    1974 Grabber (has become a habitat for weeds, snakes, and some big nasty looking spiders)
    1976 2 door Maverick (parts car)
    1976 2 door Maverick (parts car)
    1975 Fiat 124 Spider
    1980 Mercury Capri RS

    Well, my first car is my 87 mustang which i still havent driven.:cool: we have had it for two years and now we are just finally getting it road worthy. So I drove a honda accord (that we got for free):hide: for a couple of months till I finally got my dad to let me drive their shop truck that is a 93 ranger. But the first car I ever owned or err am part owner of is my maverick which i will for ever be in debt for because its a race car and you must always go faster:D.
