This one's not mine. Except for the color, it looks just like mine did.

The specs:

  • Midnight Blue Exterior
  • Black Vinyl Interior
  • Stock 300 cid V-8 Engine
  • 2-speed Automatic Transmission with Column Shift
  • Bucket Seats without Console

The story:


This was my first old car. I bought it for, I believe, $350. It seemed to run real well in the guy's driveway, but I couldn't drive it because it didn't have rear brake drums. I rented a tow-dolly and pulled it home. After putting drums on it, I drove it around for a year or so. It ran hot and idled terribly. I didn't know enough about old cars at the time to keep it running well, so I sold it for what I paid for it.
