Pics Of My Car When My Parents Bought It New

ma67cpe · November 16th, 2011, 09:45 PM

Just thought this was cool and wanted to share with those that would think the same. For those of you that do not know my parents bought my car in 1966 shortly after they got married. First car they bought together. Anyway my dad was cleaning his closet last weekend and came across these pics.

my dad washing it two days after he bought it

In case anybody was wondering this is what it looks like now

Awesome! Beautiful looking car man! My dream car is a 67 fastback... I'd love to buy one and restore it with my dad after i finish college.

That's awesome man, great that your parents held onto it for all those years. I've had mine for 22yrs but don't know much about its history prior to that. You probably know everything that's ever happened to yours. It's a keeper for sure. Ever had her down the track?

thats cool dude

jessemachone · November 17th, 2011, 09:53 AM

do like. I had a 68 that was that set up. seagull shit green with the vinyl top. i bought it off of the family that bought it new. it was a basket case when i got it. i stored it a bunch of years only to give it away to a tech school. i wish i had the storage space to have kept it.

Looks awesome! That is so cool to have those pics.. Your family will always be with you with that car!

azure mach! · November 17th, 2011, 11:58 AM

thats badass that you found those pics and have had that car in your family so long and i love the 67, those side scoops look great.

Very nice! love the old and new look of the 'Stang.
Only question, was she ever "named" and if so what is it?

Drew420 · November 17th, 2011, 09:48 PM

Sweet ride dude. I have a friend who's working on a '67 coupe.

It has never had a name. I have know idea what I would name it if I did.

Stangluvr1970 · November 19th, 2011, 11:00 PM

Well I named my stang "Pegasus" for obvious reasons as soon as the test drive was over and knew she was coming home with me forever. Once she's the age of yours I'll have pics and great memories too hopefully...

and I think honestly if you havent given it a name by now, it would just be weird giving it one. I went through the same thing when my dad originally gave me his Mustang like 10 yrs after he bought it. I didnt know what to call it and though ive seen that Mustang everyday of my life, giving it a name right there on the spot would have been weird. Id just be naming it for the sake of it. Now when I bought my GT, the name I gave it was very significant so it worked out. This goes for the other cars I had too in the past.

your car definetly has some history behind it, glad to hear it came back and wasnt burned to the ground, my friend just lost his 68 camaro in the bastrop fire a few months ago

Awesom-O · November 21st, 2011, 11:19 AM

Love the color, What is it called? Very nice coupe!

Aceswild 02 · November 21st, 2011, 04:10 PM

Beautiful car man!

Ive got picks from WAAAAYYYYY back in the day of my '40 Buick, when my Grandpa bought it.

Its awesome to have any car thats been in the family for that long and has somehistory with it!

I hope you kid is posting of pics of you with it one day

TaintedStang · November 21st, 2011, 06:15 PM

No amount of money would ever cause me to part ways with that car and im sure you feel the same way. Gotta be awesome to have something like that your parents bought brand new so long ago.

Yeah I got lucky on that one. That really sucks about the camaro. I sell used auto parts for new braunfels Texas and have a lot of customer that were affected by the fires. Sorry to hear that.

You are correct it would have to be 5 times the value of the car at least

I know i'm kind of late to this but I just now found this thread. ma67cpe, I believe I have actually met you at a McDonald's car show a while back. The one across from Town east mall. I talked to you about how you painted the top of your grille bars black

. Car is gorgeous man, love the old pictures and how it has stayed in your family.
