My first car was a '67 Camaro in MINT shape.. jus needed the driver's seat to be re-done.. had sat in a garage for years, low miles.. Owned by a teacher - female.. Friend of my mom's..
$900

I could kill myself for selling that car years later - although I sold it my then girlfriend with the caveat that if she ever sold it, it was to ME.. I'll never forget the day she drove up in aPOS blue Econolpne van, totally torn up, smoking.. just a complete piece of crap.. she come running out all giddy telling me she traded my Camaro for that van.. I asked her how much extra money she got from the trade and her reply, etched in my mind forever, was, "I paid $1200 extra plus the Camaro!"..

OMG... eye popping smiley

3 months later the van broke down, for good, and went to the junk yard.. to this day, 36 years later, I still keep an eye out for that Camaro.. I'v never seen it again...

I had a 1967 Camaro too, in great shape. I gave it to my sister cuz I bought a much newer car. Man, I shouldn't have done that!! Probably worth 20K now.

Also had a 1967 Cutlass, in great shape. Paid less than $500 for that, and just $200 for my first car, a '68 Chrysler 300. The latter was really fast. 440 engine. Used to race it on the streets, which was, looking back, really, really dumb. Very lucky I never crashed it. Cuz, while it was amazingly good going in a straight line, it was a boat. Not the best handling, especially at high speeds.
