How old were you when you owned your first Ford?
Hello New Mexico Chapter, I'm 15, and my favorite Ford is the Ford Excursion. Specifically a 2003-2005 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer with a 6.0. I am saving for one of these trucks, so until then, I am pretty much useless to this forum. But hey, you guys seem pretty cool. Anyways, lets get back on topic, How old were you when you owned your first Ford?

I was 17. 1965 F-150, 300 6 cylinder, 3-speed on the column. Paid $800 in 1988. Drove it home from Tuscon and put 45,000 miles or so on it in 3 years. Ran good, had sun-faded, baby blue paint and a Cobra 19 C.B. with a 102" whip antenna on the back bumper.
I loved it.

This NM Chapter has been asleep a while!
My first Ford was a '71 Pinto 2L manual, mint green. Handed down from Dad when I got my learner's permit at 15. I would have rather had his Gran Torino but it was still a FORD haha!! It got me around in high school but I eventually sold it to buy a 440 6pack Roadrunner. Got my 2nd Ford in '86 when I bought my Bronco (still got it). Now all I've got are Fords.

I was 16 years old in 1995, my dad helped me buy my first vehicle which landed up being a 78 F150 long bed. It was 2 tone blue and white. I don’t remember the engine but it was a V8 with glass packs exhaust. I loved that truck. Now I own a 72 F100 short bed. I love the simplicity of these old ford pickups.

Forty-four. Got my brother's 1990 F150 when he bought a new Chevy. I wish I'd kept that old Ford and traded in that 05 Silverado. That old F150 (and the constant problems with the Silverado) is what prompted me to get the 2021 F250 last summer.
