‘77 Firebird with Pontiac 301 bought for $50 my father found.
I’m #4 of 5 siblings and the first 4 of us average a year and a half between each. So oldest got family 76 impala wagon then bought her own car and handed down to #2 then he got his own and past to #3. By this time the “Imp” made a name for itself in town, it had a freakishly powerful 350 for a wagon (I think father did some work to engine but never confirmed) and able to carry 9 with trundle seat. So #3 was enjoying it when it was my turn so dad found my car with current owner unable to start and metal shavings in tranny fluid.
I remember going to look at it with him and tinkering and getting it started. My dad looks at me like maybe I shouldn’t have done that. Thank goodness seller just smiled and honored his $50 price tag. I think he just wanted it out of his driveway.
Scouts were later 3 ScoutII (72,76,78) and 1 Terra(78) hard to believe all of them combined purchased for less than $1500.
So when SM made their appearance I was getting texts from all my old friends (who I taught how to drive sticking them).
