Bought my first Firebird in the early 80s. Was still in high school. A lady who had just gotten divorced moved into our little country town. We had just gotten our first fast food restaurant (Sonic) so we all hung around there. She came in one night in the Firebird.
When she went to leave, it wouldn’t crank, so I went over and helped her. Got it running for her and mentioned that I like the car. Saw her pass a few days later, and she turned around and ran me down. Asked if I would give her $700 for the car, as she wanted something more dependable.
Told her I would have her the cash that afternoon.
Later that day, I was the owner of a 69 Firebird 400, Brown with cream colored (may originally been white) vinyl top, with factory AC. Won a fair amount of money with that car.
Sold it a few years later to buy a 79 factory 400/4spd car that had tops, 3.23 posi, 4wheel disc etc from the original owner.
Wish I had either, or both now
