$6-700 a month but we did not have a pocket full of credit cars that had to be paid every month

[Be4u]

Damn Steve, so in four months you could pay it off! Ain't happening now adays, not even close.

[Steve Wood]

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

If I ever were to win the lottery, I'm buying a Superbird.

[reality]

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.
