The first car I paid for was actually my fourth car and it was my first brand new car. A 1995 Dodge Neon in Strawberry Pearl for a little over $13,000. Before that I had an 80 Buick Skylark (didn't like the look), an 81 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (Got side swiped), and an 88 Buick Skylark.

$25.00 for a 1939 plymouth 2 dr sedan. This was about 1961. No breaks and a crack in the block. Fixed a wheel cylinder and had a uncle weld the block and drove it for 7 years. As with most of us wish I was smart enough to have keep it along with most of the cars since.

Have you seen the prices a '66 Shelby GT350H goes for on Barrett-Jackson?
