I think you should have set this up as a poll with 56 possible answers. (is that possible?)

When I bought the 69 and started "restoring it", as my 16 year old self thought, the car was younger than the daily driver explorer I have now. My dad took over as it's caretaker in about 90.

Agree--A option, What year did you get involved in Mustangs?

 

I have owned , been involved , etc etc since I was 15 when I bought my first, a 1966 Fastback (‘88). So 33 years.

I own my car since 1977 I gave her to my Dad she needed lots of work. My Dad put her alway in his barn for 40 years. I took her out or my Dad barn 3 years ago. She getting a complete restoration now. Almost ready for painting then after that new interior i

 

Got my first mustang in 1975 at age 17.

 

Got my first one (a 66 hardtop) when i was 16 in 1973, got the one i have now (68 GT Vert) when i was 17. Wow 48 years total!

 

Classic mustangs only about 3 years but Ive had several mustangs over the years starting with a foxbody when I was in high school.

 

mom and dad were the original owners..... so 56 years

 

1969 Mach 1 in 1973.

 

Dad had his first 66 Mustang in 1970. He bought the 68 in 1971. I learned to drive the 68 in 1973 with my learners. I bought my 67 when I was 17 in 1975. The 68 has been in the family for 50 years (I've had it the past 17). I've owned the 67 for 46 years.

 

Bought my 67 at 15 in 2007.

 

My parents bought my cars new…… so I’ve been involved since 1966.

 

a '68 in 1986 @ 14

 

I’m feeling old but 45 years and the first one I purchased was the Boss 429 that I still have and drove it to high school..

 

Since December 1990 at 16, so almost 31 years. Cumulatively, 30.5 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 6 + 0.25 = 51.75 years. Does that count?

 

Approx 49 years,
About 1972 when my dad got a 65 convertible (I was 12).
Had fun tinkering with it. Led to my (and now my daughter's) continuing interest / involvment,,

 

Number of years before I got my car as was looking and hanging out with car guys.

 

I had never been a big Ford fan all my life, but I always said if I did get a Ford it would be a first gen Mustang or a 50's truck. So I have been through an 70 Impala Custom, 72 Nova, 65 Chevelle SS, 66 Bug, 79 BMW 320i and still have a 58 Bug and 66 El Camino.
I'm really enjoying the 64 1/2 Mustang convertible my wife picked out and can't wait to finally get it on the road again this August (fingers crossed) soooo... Mustang owner = 1 1/2 years.

 

Got the 67 Mustang you see here in my profile when I was 16 years old in 1970...so 51 years!
I believe I'm the 3rd owner.

 

I bought my first mustang in 1984 shortly after graduating from high school but my interest goes back a few years further. When I first started high school I used to walk home past an auto body shop that had a 69 fastback sitting behind a locked fence because the owner couldn't pay for the repairs. Every day I'd walk past that car and I decided that when I could I'd have a mustang.

Since I bought that first one in '84 I haven't been without one.

 

Bought my first new '69 in '69, then a new '72 in '72. Now recently, a '65 convert all restored for the most part and now working on little details. Oh what fun!

 

I got mine at 15/16 years old in 1994.

 

lol I too got a Ford in 1994 at 16 years old. A Ford Tempo 🤣🤣🤣

 

Wanted a classic Mustang since I was a small child and got MyFirstCar at age 16 in 1992. Still have it, drove it to lunch with my sons today !

 

Interesting - Interesting
Keep these coming.

 

1969, wrecked 1965 coupe, for free.

 

Right at 35 years ago I dragged my '68 home. I actually couldn't stand it and dragged it about a quarter mile from the seller's house. Fixed it right there in the parking lot and drove it the rest of the way. I bought it as disabled and had brought borrowed parts off my girlfriend's Torino with me to get it going. I didn't figure it too great an idea to fix it right in front of the guy.
Pulled the same thing on a Yamaha motorcycle once too. And later a Dodge I DID fix right in front of the ex-owner. Where I found I was right to take the others a bit away first. It makes people happier to think they unloaded some junk when they sell dirt cheap.

 

Does taking my dad's '64.5 for my driver's test in 4/65 count?
