I had a nice, relaxing weekend in Indianapolis, and as I usually do when
I visit somewhere I checked out the want ads. Here's a few of the better
choices I came across in a Sunday edition of the Indianapolis Star:
'67 Corvette conv. air, power windows, 427, $2,300
'67 Chevelle, 396, 4 spd. $950
Ferrari, 1959 250 GT, 12 cyl. 2 passenger, excel. cond. $4,950
'53 Jag XK120 show car, $3,395
'64 MGB New red paint, new top, luggage rack, very fast, $1,000
'59 MGA, engine good, body needs work $500
'58 Porsche, runs good, $850
'60 Triumph, 4 spd., looks, runs perfect $300
'64 TR4, wire wheels, new paint, tires, $750
'64 TR4, Rebuilt, mech. perfect, new tires, no rust $850
'56 Morgan Plus 4, excel. orig. condition, $3,500
Oh, did I mention it was from Sunday, August 12, 1973? You know, in 1973
I bet my annual wages were almost enough to buy that Morgan. And here it
is nearly 1993, and you know, my annual wages are almost enough to buy me a
Morgan. The Ferrari and that XK120, though, ....
