I have an even better one for you
1972
my cousin lived in Iowa,just got married and they decide to move to Florida as Disney was almost finished and he knew he could get a job. Tried to sell the singlewide trailer he had and couldnt so moved it to Fla,paying more than it was worth to have moved.
The only car they had was a 1969 Corvette 427 tripower 4 speed side pipes T tops.
They both took entry level jobs at Disney at different shifts so the car pulled double duty going back and forth. Oil embargo hits and gas doubles,its a strain to keep a 427 fed,and it was no A/C so was killer in summer. Jim(my cousin) calls me and says he traded the Vette in on a new little sports car at the Chevy dealer that was better on gas. I almost puked when I saw it. A 73 Vega GT. I asked how much they gave him in trade.......$500. Six months later his dad gave him a boat that the Vega wouldnt pull so he traded it in on a 74 Nova hatchback.
I still to this day remind him that the vette would easily fetch $80K.
