$0.00

My Dad gave me his 1969 International pickup when I got my license at 16. It had 168,000 miles on it when I got it. the bed of the truck was pretty much rusted off, we had 2 pieces of 2X4 stuck in the rear post holes of the sides of the bed and a piece of rope across it where the tail gate "used" to be, holding the sides of the bed on. One night I was driving down US-19 thru Palm Harbor, FL with my girlfriend with me, when I hit a big rough spot in the road and the entire left side of the bed fell off. I drug it about 100 yards down the road before I could get pulled over. We got out and picked it up, put it in the bed and went on...

AH... good times... LOL.

 

$40 for a 1963 Ford Fairlane. Purple & White, 4 door, 260 V-8. After a few months, I blew it up because it dropped a valve and sold it for $35.

 

93 dodge shadow, teal and primer. 3000

 

I posted before about my first car, my Dad gave me a 1961 Corvair 700 4 dr. automatic. He was the Auto shop teacher in High School and as a project, he aquired two wrecked Corvairs from a junk yard. He cut both in half and put the two good pieces together and made a good car out of it. I drove it for a year, then bought myself a 2 door 1963 Corvair Monza 4 speed. I forget what I paid, somewhere around $500.00 I believe, in 1970. First new vehicle, a 1978 Chevrolet Beauville Van. Tow vehicle for going Drag racing on the weekends. It was a $5000.00 loaded van then.

 

traded my old 22 rife for it. about 50 to 100 bucks
Was a 64 chevy pick up. no motor or floor.
sold it for more than my HHR was worth new.

 

1958 Chevrolet BelAir 4 door...paid $100 for it and I had to work at the local burger joint making $2.05 an hour to save up for it and that was in 1971.

 

My first car was a 1966 Mustang (used in outstanding condition), bought it in 1970 for $500 and wish I still had it. Had the 289 with a 3-speed in the floor. My first new car was a Toyota Celica GT, 1976 and the purchase price was $5690 out the door, dont remember the year I bought it.

 

300 for a rusted out 73 dodge dart but wipe brown front fenders would flap if you drove to fast LOL drove it for 6 months then my brother rolled it!

 

1973 Chevelle, Paid $500. 350w/4speed muncie trans. Body was shot, but for 1st car alot of fun to drive!

 

1974 Pinto Station Wagon. Paid $400. Not long after that I was driving down a gravel road and lost control trying to dodge a deer. Missed the deer, but hit the ditch and rolled it. Got out and pulled the fender out of the wheel and drove it for another 6 months. And believe it or not it didn't explode. Had to tie the rear hatch closed and the door didn't shut very well, but it was a tough little car.
