Bonsoir, i think not sure but it is 35 years from now to be considered old or a collectable ?

In the USA it would depend on which state you register it in. Here in Texas, the vehicle must be at least 25 years old to register as an antique, other states vary from 20 to 30 years.

Since everyone is posting their first car, a much rougher version of this was mine:

'65 Ford Galaxie 500, in ganky faded dark green paint, plaid cloth seat covers, tired 390 V-8 2 BBL and 3 on the tree transmission. Bought it for $500USD, sold it about a year later for $500USD.

Thank you very much for your reply , I did not know it was different for some states in the united states.
And that a 25 year old car was considered old.
Then 1992 and even 1997.

Me my first car was like this one, I had difficulty driving it especially in the small mountains it tended to want to go behind, I had to always be ready to use the handbrake.

Toughest part of restoring one of these back in 1960 was getting it out from under the collapsed chicken house. Next toughest? Cleaning it up enough to figure out which was the front and which was the back:

Friend who started the project died before he finished and it was years before anyone else took it on. But they did and it ran. Then the guy who finished it died and it's still tied up in a messy estate.

Damn.
