I was given a ‘69 F100 for my 16th birthday from my grandpa. Although I loved my grandpa for it, at that particular time, I wasn’t feeling it lol. All my friends had fox bodies and Camaros. I traded it a year later for an 84 Camaro that was a complete POS to this day, I still hunt for a clean 68-69 f100 to build

I learned to drive in a ‘68 F100 <3

Three on the tree, “your power” steering and brakes set me up to drive anything, ever. Haha.

Mine was an 89 but this is the closest picture I could find to how mine looked. Painted the wheels black and me and my grandpa heated the springs under weight to lower it a couple inches

Edit: I forgot to add that me and my uncle swapped in some seats from an early Tiburon. Uploaded picture for reference.

Pop up headlights are great.

As seen here on the SN95s current driveway companion...

Actually, that's the last car I bought - maybe we should start another thread at the other end of the purchase history!

Is that the U.S. equivalent of a Toyota MR2? A former girlfriend of mine had a red one. FUN freakin car to drive; speeding ticket magnet!

That is indeed a Toyota MR2 - 1996 G-Limited Japanese Import.

Brilliant cars and yes great to drive. She's all standard apart from the radio which I've swapped for an original Toyota Sat Nav unit from a 2008 Yaris - maps still supported and updated only last month.
