In 1976 I bought a 70 Bonneville convert with the 455 and full options minus AC for $855.00. The same year I bought a 67 firebird convert with the 400 4 speed for $50.00, the guy bought it new for his new wife and she only drove it for 2 years and it got parked in the garage and sat there until I bought it in 76, she said she didn't like it but held onto it for sentimental reasons, they were going to junk it and rescued it. body and interior was like new and only had something like 23,000 miles on it, I had to do a complete tune-up and brake job on it before moving it from his garage. I bought a 69 Grand Prix in 1996 for $1300, the kids father owned a shop and he rebuilt the suspension, motor trans, brakes and had the car ready for paint, the kid was 16 and his father didn't want him to have it because of the power, he sold it cheap just to get gone before his son got home. I felt bad but figured if not me someone else would get it.
