3 cars in 1975:

427 4 speed Corvette coupe for $2500. The guy wanted to buy a Corvette racecar.

63 1/2 Ford lightweight. Lotsa chrome...427, glas hood, aluminum and glas panels and fenders....again $2500

Plymouth Super Bird....$2500.

I had just bought a 69 Ford Van for $1900 and owed my parents a good % on that. I was 18 and just out of high school.

Fast forward to 1985. I have my first engineering job. I'm getting rid of my self restored Alfa spider looking for something more practical and cheap as we were looking for a house downpayment. The boss's son has an E type convertible that he'd like to trade, close to even for the Alfa. I pass, instead getting the house closed on and getting a 5 year old BMW 320i, mostly for my soon-to-be wife. I got $2500 for the Alfa.....(that number just haunts me....)
