Yup.If I knew then what I know now I'd probably still have it.
Keeping on the subject of Australian Fords, my first car was a 1977 XC...Still got my 1st car that I bought nearly 24 years ago, a 1979 XD Ford Fairmont Ghia. Although in 1996 I did a bit of a resto to it which included SAAS front seats and trimming out rear seat and door skins in same material, BIG thumpin stereo, original XG XR front headlights including changing the bonnet/grill/radiator support panel & guards, body kit including removal of door handles and different wheels. Ended up replacing the 302 with a stock 351 but still miss the old engine as it would go back to 1st at 60mph/100kph and create a bit of smoke from the rear wheels Still got the car today and still turns some heads.
There have been others along the way but I still have a bit of a soft spot for this one.
My parents bought me a putrid purple '67 Dodge Dart GT for 500 bucks. A few years of punk-stabbing the the pedals on a stock motor full of dirty oil spun a couple of rod bearings. If I knew then what I know now I'd probably still have it. This isn't mine but it's pretty darn close.
