Found an old girlfriend on Facebook and we got to talking. She said she had a pic of my “real” first love albeit totalled 3 months after I bought new for $8k cash….those were the days. :'(

Hmm, looks like you can buff it out.  :)   How long ago was that?

Looks like around a 1978 model that met a telephone pole rather too close at one time. Possibly a 350 4 gear with the ram induction hood?   :)

Was it a '78, a '79 or an '80 MY. Sideways into the pole, eh? Guess you didn't get much hurt but your car and your pride... ;D ;D

Where were your snow tires ??  ;)

I think you could also have studded tires in Ontario  then.

I thought you said you knew how to drive in the snow????   ;D

I think when you are 19, you are indestructible
Also at 19, you are the smartest that you will ever be, after that age I found I was learning new things everday  ;D

I believe it's all the cool KIDS are on Facebook.  People from my past are there for a reason.  And I already have a phone and email...  and spend too much time here.  Facebook I do NOT need.

Snowy... you've really always had a thing for fugly cars with hoodscoops, eh?  Even your Stang was an SVO wasn't it?  :)

That looks like a 79 to me. I had a 78 Z28 that was the first car I bought. I loved mine - 4spd manual too.
