First car was a 68 chevy belair wagon. 75 Bucks. this was in 80, i had just dropped out of college to grade to tech school and needed wheels. 307 Powerglide, it was actually a great running car. After it bit the dust a year or so later and I actually had an income, I found a 73 pontiac grand am 4 speed car. I didn't know anything about them, but it was a 4 speed and it was 800 bucks and it ran. After i had it for about five minutes, I found out how rare they were. I really loved that car,it was fun to drive and was comfy. After it was wrecked, I parked it and then lost my storage. ended up scrapped. Much later I bought another GA 4 speed which I still have. There were very few of these made but stillaren't high dollar cars. I remember when I was looking at cars in 83 and the buick dealer had a 2 tone regal that he was trying to sell me. It was a grand national. I liked it, but thought it was too expensive at 2800 bucks. I bought my 84 gn in 1989 for 2500, it is bone stock and has not moved since 1993.
I sure rmember the days of cheap muscle. I had a 67 GTX 440 offered to me for 500, I also passed on a pair of 70 chargers for 1000 one was an RT. There were many, many more, but I had no place to store them, and couldn't afford the gas to run them, so someone else got them.
Raised roof, back windows, interior, everything was done by the previous owner... Ford Chrome Yellow and the rest only looks purple in pictures, supposed to be brown. Sold it a couple years later after I realized how bad the gas mileage was..
