Who has owned a car that was built the same year that you were born?

Why would anybody want to own a 65 yr old car.

Being that I was born in 75 there aren't to many tempting offerings in my price range.

I did own a 63 Austin Mini 850 a long time ago

I had a 1965 T Bird. Great car. Would love to get it back.

Ford power puff blue with a pearlescent white interior. Loved the 390. Truck torque. Never passed a gas station either.

Never had an 87 I don't think, bit I have had an 88 jeep Cherokee, 89 325ix, 90 750il (and mustang 5.0, and s10), 91 240sx, 92 vw fox, 93 325i, among many other cars and years.

I guess an 87 or 94 should be on my shortlist.

I often consider buying a 1962 Beetle.

I had a 1970 914. According to the tag on the door, it was built the same month I was born too

I wanted a '67 a few years ago just for this reason. I now own two 1967 Volvo 122 Coupes and a '67 122 wagon. I've actually semi-considered building my collection around 10 year increments. I already have a 1977 Bronco and a 1987 Shelby Charger. If I got a 1997 it would be an M3 sedan. Not sure about what 2007 model yet.

Never owned a car as old as me but I have owned a few that were older than SWMBO.

'66 caprice 396/4sp '66 corvair 110/PG '66 corvair mid-engine 327/4sp '66 cutlass ragtop 383SBC/T350

I had an 80 z28 and a 80 base model camaro. Want an 80 trans am, not much else from 1980 I'd own besides a chevy or gmc truck.

I've had cars just a year either side of my birth-year, but never one from it. At this point the only ones I'd really be interested in are way to exotic(and appreciating) to ever be within my budget.

Not a lot of cars built in 46, however I did own a 49 Ford. We had a 28 Ford Model A used on the farm. That was the first car I wrenched on and drove when I was 12 or 13.

1980 ford Fiesta... The panty dropper

My first car was from my birth year, a brown 84 Chevy panel van. But for some reason 78 is the year cars keep finding me; mgb spitfire TR7 XS400 and rabbit.

For a short while I owned a 77 Fiat, an 87 Saab, and a 97 Volvo.. I did not plan it

I own it now:

Had a 61 triumph TR3, but it was more lawn art than car. Missed the boat on a Porsche 356 when they were cheap

My first car (actual pic) was from when I was born (89) - Ford Aerostar, manual transmission!!

My first car... 1992 Saab 900S.

87 mustang hatch. even turbo swapped it (2.3t). then proceded to launch it on slicks with no subframe connectors. t top cars bend easy. its a pop can somewere now.

Were you wearing the panties?

1981 Mazda RX-7

1981 Ford Courier

My Starlet was an 83 just like myself.
Too bad it blew up then was eventually towed due to poor landlordship, at the time couldn't justify fighting too hard over a $300 car....
Would have screamed with a 4ag swap
