40. In 87 dad told me I could have the 65 F100 or the 71(?) Scamp. I chose wisely.

At 69, I started with a '56 Fairlane Victoria and 292 Y block back in 1962.  First FE was a 1964 Galaxie hardtop with 390 and 4 speed.  Next came the new '66 Mustang with 289, and then the Fairlane Cobra caught my attention again for a FE.  The '69 Fairlane Cobra was one of those cars that should have been a keeper, but leaving for Vietnam and two small boys, I traded it for a Torino so that my wife would not have to always be shifting gears and worrying about the kids while driving.  I bought a new Shelby GT-500 when I returned from Vietnam, and still have it to this day.  Getting a fresh new FE ready for it's 45th birthday this August.  Now, I have a '55 T-bird with 292 Y block, and I have come full circle, so to speak.  Going to keep both I think, and maybe a fresh new stroker Y for the '55s 60th birthday this summer.  Joe-JDC

Sounds like some nice cars Joe. If you get a chance, please show some pics of the Shelby and T-bird along with the engines please.

Maybe there is hope for the youngsters yet Most young men your age are only into video games and what ever the electronic toy of the week is. Yesterday I went to a local carshow and greybeard gathering and the average age seem to be 60 years old. The few "kids" there looked bored or more interested in the free hotdogs & soda that was offered.

You sir, have a bright future ahead!  

Wish I'd been that smart at 22.

I may be the youngest, but not the only one, lol. Glad to see you're into these engines too, LuxurySportCoupe. It looks like a nice galaxie you have. Btw, isn't there another "younger" guy on here, Autoholic?

I will be 45 next month. I have been in love with the FE since my first pickup. '73 with a 390 and 4 speed. I made the big mistake of selling it when the engine was tired and buying an '83 with a 302. That mistake taught me how much I liked the FE.
Now I want to put an FE in everything I build. . I am also working to see how much boost I can put to an FE and what kinda power I can get.  Should be a fun but expensive adventure. LOL.
I love these engines and the era of cars that they came in.

Soon to be three score.First FE purchased was in 1974.Sold my last in 2004.

What a nice bell curve emerging from the poll

Well except for the peak itself, my guess is that is the unique age of guys still working too hard to have time for the internet and too old to want to know how LOL

I noticed the same thing, if there were more people in the 1960-1964 birth years it would be a nearly perfect Gaussian distribution, with the average age in the early to mid 50s.  Still plenty of time for most of us to be building FEs

Yes, there are way too many people my age into electronic devices. But most of my friends are true car guys, most of them are into imports, but that has alot to do with initial affordabilty. It's way cheaper to buy and build a nissan 240sx than it is to build american iron. I'd probably be doing the same, but God blessed me with a decent enough job so that I can build something FE powered. No matter what they're into, they all love my galaxie, lol.
