My grandfather bought it new in ‘67 who sold it to my uncle who sold it to me for $100 in 1984. It had seen better days when I acquired it. Took me all of two months to trash the tranny trying to do burnouts to impress my friends.

Next up was a 1967 Chev C10 pickup, $600. In-line 6 cylinder, 4 speed manual with a granny gear. Cab corners completely rusted out and I had to carry a gas can in the back to prime the carb to get it to start on cold Minnesota winter mornings. It had a factory installed manual choke on the dash but it wasn’t enough.

Good memories.
