I turned 16 in December 1979. First car I bought was my grandpas (Pop) 1968 Ford Fairlane. It looked like this but white with a black vinyl top. My Pop was going to give it to me but my Dad insisted I pay for it. So, Pop set the price at $100.

1976 Nova Super Sport, same color scheme as the OP's Matador w/white racing stripe. I later sold it to my BIL who used it to pull a U-haul trailer from Arkansas, over the Rockies to Idaho at 148K miles on the clock - then brought the whole rig back home a year later. That was a feat for an American built car at that time.
1979 Silverado shorty, also metallic blue.
it was 1993 before I owned a vehicle that wasn't metallic blue.

1974 Buick Century, it was supposed to be a Regal but it was $500 cheaper and that was a lot if money back then. Also a 1978 Camaro that I gave away in a divorce. Looking back, I got off cheap. Bob

1971 VW van. Possibly the worst engine ever put in an automobile. The engine blew, I paid to get it rebuilt, and 7,000 miles later it blew again.

Mine was a blue Chevy step-side pickup, 3-speed manual, 6-cyl. Don't remember the model year. Had to park it in the driveway of our Florida island home. It rusted out from under me. (So did everybody's car down there.)

I drove one of those for a company vehicle. Being in the northeast I froze every winter. No heat ever got from the rear engine to up front.
My regular vehicle was a 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo.

I'd wager the engine in a Chevy Vega was worse!

1973 Pontiac Catalina. "The Iron Monster" Green with Black vinyl top. Beautiful ride and lots of fun waiting turn at gas pumps based on license plate number.
Lots of horses under the hood and nothing on the Interstate could pass me.
Lots and lots of room in back seat for kids to fight on the way home from the Outer Banks after the beach fun was over.
My neighbor across the street loved the car for three years and I finally let him have it for two thirds of what i paid for it. The old gent paid me in cash that came from under his mattress and I had to look at the car for another three years. I use to think he was OLD and now i truly know what OLD is. —————————-Ray

'72 Satellite Sebring, same paint scheme as the picture, but mine had aluminum slots with a set of fatties on the back.
