1st car was a 1956 Chevy 210 2dr sedan. Paid $35.00 for it in summer of 1965. Had to pull the engine and give it back to the owner. That was OK as I had a .060 over "283" on the engine stand with the L79 350HP cam in it with a 4 barrel rochester carb.

1967 Austin Mini I was 16 cost $750 (Dad Paid) in 1979

First car I brought with my own money was my 1967 Sunbeam Alpine in 1983 (which I still have) . I was Med student $2000 down (what the mini sold for) and financed the remaining plus the repayments until until I was finished Med school in 1986 and had an income -$6000 loan at 22.5% per annum via the bank.!
