Don't know if Fox body Capri's could be in the same category, but nevertheless are the cousin of the Fox body Mustang. Anyhow, I owned an "81" Mercury Capri, then owned a "78" Mustang II/King Cobra followed by "90" GT, "92" GT, "93" SVT Cobra, "05" S197 GT and current "06" S197 GT.. "81" Mercury Capri in 90-91 Current "06" GT in Torch Red

Ok, I don't have any pictures of my first Mustang, which was the Orange Bomb, a 1978 Mustang II V6 4 speed hatch. But I found a picture that's really close:
Except mine had a tan interior. Same paint and wheels though!

And of course, my latest is Awesome:
What counts is you located an image that closely resembles your first Mustang aka the Orange Bomb "78" Mustang II V-6.. So now we all know what your first Mustang was and have come such a long ways since then with "Awesome"

From the images posted, I assume you own both your first 2010 and second 2013 together?

Yes! I said Mustang, as I went by the images you submitted in your initial post on yesterday.. If you had posted an image of your "73" Cougar XR7 along with your Mustangs on yesterday? I would had indeed confirmed that your "73" Cougar XR7 was in fact your very first Pony Car.

Perhaps the thread title should had been "First pony car to latest pony car you have owned"

Here is the closest I have found to photos similar to my first... Actually the only other Mustang I have owned.
It was a whole lifetime ago. Great car, extreme fun, loved it, always wished I could have kept it. But you all know how life goes... Wife hated that I would say she made me get rid of it for something more economical (a 1979 Rabbit)
Anyway great to look back. Mine was an S code 390 car with 3 speed automatic. These are not actual pictures of mine, but very close.
Mine had no grill bling. No fog lights or pony. No side stripe, but did have the chrome under the door. and the vented hood with the turn signals.
Had this premium red interior with ceiling and floor consoles even the factory AC. Of course my steering wheel had been swapped out to something different and only had the factory tac.
Mine had black ribbed taillights. The side vents, both door and pillar were also black. And the hood vent lip was black as well. This is very close to the backend, but my pop out gas cap was a tri-bar. No cutout for the exhaust on mine. My exhaust had what we call cherry bombs mufflers and dumped straight down in front of the rear axle. It was very loud, kind of like my Roush is now.
A few other changes on mine were that it had L50x15 rear tires (very wide) and had Gabriel air shocks to lift the rear end so the tires did not rub. Got a ticket once because the tires were beyond the fenders, not much but enough to throw mud. Never fixed that. The cop knew me, was a few years older. As you can guess, he did not like me. So... Anyway.
Always regretted letting this car go. Always wanted to get it back. But saw it a few years after I sold it. Had a blue hood, Green front fender and a smashed rear end... Heard the guy totaled it shortly after that.
** Edit**
Forgot to add my latest...

In order of appearance:
1986 convertible
1990 convertible
1976 6 cyl coup
2012 Boss
The 86 was a well worn piece of crap. Constantly broken and being repaired.
The 90 was a used rental car. Not bad but people must have driven it like I drive rental cars. Had to replace the transmission shortly after we bought it.
The 67 was a car we rebuilt for my daughter for her first car. It was a good car.
The 2012 is my “I got to old to race motorcycles but still want to go to track days.” It’s awesome.

Thanks for sharing an image of your 2012 Boss 302 in Race Red, as she's absolutely stunning
