That F150 would make a mighty nice first vehicle for your nephew. As for me, first vehicle was 1974 Chevrolet C10 on loan from my father til' he found a car for me to buy. A 1969 Chevelle SS 396 - paid $ 700.00 for it. That's right seven hundred - wish I'd still had it.

At 15 I got a 1968 bronco, , after I rolled it on its side , my uncle had it painted red white and blue , it was 1975 and just in time for the bicentennial. At some point I put in a Shelby 302 engine. That think was a blast, have been looking on eBay for a replacement,

Never owned the original Bronco but have wanted one for several years. My wife wants one really, really bad. So, someday. :)

My Dad said I had to take Drivers Ed in high school and get my license that way before I could have a car. So that's what I did; got my drivers license as soon as I was 16 and he promptly bought me a 10 year old (1946) Chevy 2-door, vacuum shift with almost 100k miles on it. I think he paid $75 for it. Of course, Drivers Ed was a snap, since I'd been driving an aunt's 1947 Ford Coupe from the time I had to sit on pillows to see over the steering wheel and I could barely reach the pedals.:laughing: Doesn't everyone have a favorite aunt?

I was 13. '49 Ford 4dr flathead V8 3spd overdrive. Paid $50.

Was it painted flat black, and you made whiskey runs on dark and stormy nights?:D

Well,,, it was faded black and I rolled it in our hay field showing off to my buddy about how it would do donuts. No whiskey involved...... :ashamed:

While I had a drivers license at 16, I had to wait until I was 21 to have enough money to buy my first car, a 1971 Ford LTD. 400 cubic inches of 4 barreled road sled. It ran pretty well, and was a very clean straight car. I gave $1800 bucks for it. The trunk of that car had more room than any car I have ever seen since. I think you could put about 5 dead guys in it. The fuel tank was vertical above the rear axle, and the trunk had a very deep well in it.

20 years ago my eldest Son bought an Olds 98 2 dr hardtop. White with white leather interior. He bought it for the 455 Rocket. Before he removed the engine we cruised it. I always said you could have a 3 piece band in the trunk!!!! Worst part was it didn't have a posi-trac rear end so we had to swap out the right rear tire a LOT!!!! I'm talking 2 or 3 times on a Saturday afternoon....... :)
