I think I paid that same amount for my first new car too, 1969 Camaro (a
demo with 1100 miles on it), traded in a PV544 that I wish I had back now.

Well if others are going to talk about ones from the past, I think I'll dust
off this old list which I am fairly certain I have posted before.
I moved to Utah in 1973. That same year my father wrapped up my old train
set, thinking he'd get it to me some day. I did pick it up on one visit
back home some years later. It was wrapped in newspaper. One section was
the 'sports car' ads from the classifieds:
'67 Chevelle, 396, 4 spd. $950
'67 Corvette conv. air, power windows, 427, $2,300
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
