I was born in 1973. I got my License around 1990. In my early teens I had a few chances to buy 60's Mustangs and Novas for around $500. I bought a few cars just to beat on them in fields. Do you remember driving "beaters" in the fields until they didn't run any more? By the time I got my license, the prices of muscle cars had risen a bit. One of my first registered vehicles was a 350, 77 Buick Skylark I bought for $1500. I drove that up through the first part of my Army enlistment. Fast forward to early 2000s, and I paid $7500 for a 66 Tempest convertible. I hear older friends mention buying muscle cars for far less than $500 back in the day. I'd be interested in what minimal amount of money others had paid for their cars back in the day. What an investment if we had managed to keep them till now.
