The first car I ever bought was a 1972 Plymouth Duster, bought in about 1975 for about $750. Straight 4, you could crawl into the engine compartment.
A few memories:
The car needed water. I opened the oil fill and started adding water. OH CRAP! Stopped. drained the oil, added oil (I don't think I changed the filter, but maybe). drove the car for 5 more years.
Got T-Boned in my college parking lot. Other driver was pissed he failed a test during finals. Right rear quarter panel. Shop filled it with puttyy, and it sure looked nice.
Until I side swiped a snow bank and it all fell out and rusted. Oh well, my fault. Don't call the insurance company or Dad's Insurance will go up.
Still drove it in 1978 when I moved to STL for my first job.
Sold the car to my future SIL for $500. She drove it for about 8 more years. I bought a 1980 Toyota Celica. Brand new. hey, I was young and stupid.
