Bought my first car for $50 a 1950 Ford Convertible fixer upper.
Traded it and $600 for a 53 MGTD in 1962 ... I still own the MG ... had it completely restored in '82.
Bought a new 1965 BSA lightning ... Hardtailed that sucker and put on a springer, custom tank and custom hand sift ... rode to Strugis SD and back to Elsinore CA in '67 ... thought I was gunna die ... sold it a couple years ago ... kidneys had taken enough abuse.
1965 Chrysler Imperial - Crown Coupe
Limited Production Only vehicle I ever financed nearly 6 grand ... shudder.
In 1966 I paid cash, around $2000 for a 1965 Buick Special Convertible with a 355 Wildcat engine ... it was a dealer test car that had less than a thousand miles on it. I sold it in the mid 80's for twice what I paid for it. Wife went ballistic when she found out I sold Her car.
Inherited a 1978 14 passenger Ford Van converted to a camper ... traded it in on a 2001 Ford 350 Chinook Destiny 2400XL.
Paid around $3000 for a used 76 Jeep Cherokee that I drove up to 2007 when I sold it and bought a 2006 Jeep Commander ... Paid cash for it also ... are you chitting me 25 grand for a F...ing used car? Pay back for selling her Buick.
