Everyone remembers their first car, good or bad. Check out Daemon's story about his first car, a 74' Mustang!

My first car was a 1974 White Ford Mustang II.I saved up for that car with a summer job. Bought it used from a co-worker for $500. Drive it till it died. I’ve had several Escorts, an ‘84 Ranger, and now, I’m driving a 1998 Ford Taurus SHO. You can bet that as I continue my journey through life, I intend to get more Fords. A Mustang Cobra. A Ford GT. A Ford Explorer. Ford is the only American Auto Company that didn’t take any bail out money. THAT says something about the strength of the company. And every time I’m watching NASCAR or ROLEX, or ALMS< or Australian V8 Supercar, I’ll be cheering for my Blue Oval brother’s and sisters in their Fords.

ONE LUV. FORD!!!!!

This story is a great example of why classic Fords are the best around! Read on to hear Chris G.'s story of driving his grandpa's Mustang.

 

A couple years ago I asked my grandmother if I could take Grampa’s old mustang that my cousin was fixing up out for a spin. It was the car my mother and uncle grew up driving in southern Washington state on super windy roads. I grabbed the key and went to the garage. My younger cousin and I hopped into the car. I slid the key in and took a deep breath. I turned the key and… it tried to start, but it wouldn’t turn over. I tried it a couple more times and then looked up to see my uncle chuckling in the corner. He said “let me show you how it’s done”. I was 22 at the time and had no idea that you had to pump the gas a few times to get gas flowing into the engine. He got it started and I hopped back in. I took my cousin out for a spin… I had no idea this would be the first time I was driving a car without power steering (it hadn’t occurred to me), nor did I expect my braking would skid the car at the stop signs. I stalled it twice and brought it back into the garage. That was the greatest car I’ve ever driven, and I’m a valet driver in Los Angeles.
