Not to steal your thread Adam, but you did ask?


It was long after the Hey days and when the oil embargo was still fresh in peoples minds. Muscle cars were worth Nothing. You could find them parked just about everywhere.

My cousin had picked that car up, running and driving, along with a bunch of extra parts for $500.00. I bought it from him for less. A real 409/425hp Rag Top!

I had a bunch of cars Back in H.S.; 1967 GTO, White with Gold buckets and a 4 speed. 60,000 original miles. The original owner gave it to his neighbor. The neighbor thought he blew up the engine, when the starter fell apart, so I got that car for the cost of pulling out the original trans, in his driveway, on a very cold Winter Day (for his 1964 Impala SS 327)plus Pizza and some libations.

I also had a '69 Camaro with a built 350 and a 4 speed. I paid $900.00 for it back then and it needed everything.

1970 Cutlass Holiday Coupe 350 4 bbl.

1971 Pontiac GT-37 350 2bbl.

The 4x4 craze was in full swing, so I had a CJ5 Jeep too.

I then sold everything to help pay for College. What was I thinking?? I then bought a 1972 Plymouth Fury 2DR with a 318 for $100.00 and that was my Driver untill I found a 1955 Chevy 1st Series 5 Window Pick-Up. I bought that from the Neighbor of the original owner for $500.00 and a Honda 500 dirt bike trade.
