My first car was a '66 Dodge Valiant that I bought for $65.00. Put in a new water-pump ($25.) in the sellers driveway and drove it home. It had a push-button transmission on the dash and a rubber foot pump thing on the floor for the windshield washer. I drove it for two years and then sold it for $100.00.
My favorite vehicle tho' was a '69 VW van. Traded my stereo and two boxes of albums for it. In 1980, I drove it from Vancouver to London On. in the middle of February. The gas heater didn't work and the little bit of heat that made it up to the front of the van was quickly lost in the breezes. We drove all the way wrapped up in sleeping bags and a scraper in one hand scraping the inside of the windshield. Great van for camping and touring in the summer tho'. If I ever win the lottery, I'll get another one.
