Shoulda, coulda, but didn’t….had a chance to buy a running, driving ‘62 Bubble Top 6cyl. in about 1975 or so for $150.00. Almost as bad as passing on a ‘57 Nomad w/o engine & trans. in same time frame for $75.00. Both were relatively rust free cars and Nomad needed a piece of curved side glass. My family had so many cars come and go that those were no big deal. I had a friend GIVE me a ‘57 Bel Air 2dr hardtop when I was 15 (1973)…another running, driving 6cyl. I sold it to a buddy who I’m still real good friends with for $50.00. Best part of the story is we’re both 15, broke but gearheads…he paid me $47.00 in $5.00 bills and $1.00 and 6 rolls of pennies!!!
