Hi Folks
Found a pic, circa 1980. The orange '71 Demon cost me 50 bucks delivered......At $2.15 per hour, almost 2 weeks of part-time money. The green Duster behind that, my dad's, $750 at the dealer on the road with a /6........And $1100 for the other duster with a 318.
As for the old '67 Chev........My dad bought it from a "Buddy" for $200 bucks on the road (Buddy disappeared after the transaction). A few weeks after he bought it, he received a letter from the HFC stating that there was a $200 lien on the truck, and that he owed it, or they were coming for the truck......Being in Northern Ontario, and getting close to the winter, dad parked it in the back yard and tore the engine a part........And waited.
By the time the finance company got around to claiming the truck, there was 3 feet of snow on top of it, and a 200 foot distance to the road. Needless to say, the finance company passed on the truck (and the storage fee), and my dad got it free and clear. The next summer it went back together, and we got 10 great years out of it. Learning how to drive 3 on the tree, and hauling an old camper around for family recreation.
Those were the days............
