$6-700 a month but we did not have a pocket full of credit cars that had to be paid every month
-
Damn Steve, so in four months you could pay it off! Ain't happening now adays, not even close.
-
if you did not have to eat, pay rent, buy gas, and never went close to a woman! I paid about $3100 for a Plymouth in '65. My friend paid $4300 for a 425 hp 396 Vette with the removable hard top at the same time. He was a high rolling electrical engineer....:)
-
If I HAD the money back then...it woulda been a Superbird...wi th the same rims and lettered/numbered up like Richard Pettys.

For me those were truly the good old days. I got married in 1971 and at the time had a 70 W30 2dr hardtop standard steering and brakes. paid 2995 for it and won the pure stock title for the 1971 year at the local track.
I find that the expendable income was way higher back then. the steel co [Stelco] starting wage was $2,50 hr.
YES I am still married to the same woman.
OH it ran 13.4 at 104 with g60-15 bias ply kelly chargers factory stock.

I'd take the Duster 340... mmm... Decor Group

Brad, I drove past a Superbird every day for about three years that was parked under a tree without stopping. One day I thought about it and decided I would go see the guy...of course, it was gone.
Then, in the 90's, I took my son and one of his friends to an auction. They were selling a really nice Bird. Kids bugged hell out of me to buy it...Of course, I said I would not pay a bunch of money for one...especial ly being newly divorced and starting my own company. It sold for 12,000...that car would have paid for my retirement :D
-
If I ever were to win the lottery, I'm buying a Superbird.
-
Do you know the real reason for the high spoiler on a Superbird and Daytona?
So you could open the trunk. the spoiler is 1 piece.

Last time I was at Legendary Motorcar I believe they had at least 3 of them, some may have been Daytonas.
-
Not sure that spoiler is one piece as I think you can adjust the angle on the horizontal piece. But id have to look for a pic. I do like me some superbird. Daytona not so much and I cant really say why. I like the Super B better than a road runner but id want a gtx over either of those two. But there are a bunch of gm stuff I'd buy before id purchase a mopar.

Well there goes another myth.

I paid $1,795 for my 442 Convertible in 1975, was a Sr. in HS. Used it to go 100 miles a day to Automotive Training Center west of Philly from Lancaster, 1975-1977. It had 65K when I bought it, 128K today. Still have it. 95% original.
-
Explain how you had $1795 in High School? Gigolo?
:o
:rofl:
-
Gigolo was only part of it, I took out a loan for the rest.
-
Back when the interest rates were ohhh such a deal :rolleyes;
-
If I remember it was 9%
