Your best Mopar deal

My best deal was back in 1986. Yes that long ago ( I was 17). I bought a 1966 Coronet 500 off the original owner for $650.00. I saw an ad for it. I thought it was a miss print. It said to have a 361 in it. At the time I never knew about the 361. I thought it meant to say 360. I called an talked to an older woman. I then made arrangement to see the car on Sunday. Saturday I couldn't take it any more. I had my mom( yea lame) drive me over to check it out. When I got there I was looking at an all original one owner car. It didn't take me long to strike a deal. She was asking $750. Then I found out that she mistaking me for the guy who was supposed to be there to look at the car. He pulled a no show. Lucky me. She made me wait a week to pick up the car. She had to do it right. Had the bill of sale notarized and everything. When I picked it up she was vacuuming it out. She then handed me the keys but I said why don't you start one more time. I thought a tear was going to come. But she took the keys and fired it up with a smile. I loved that car. It was my first experience with a sure grip. My older friend showed me how to do a burnout. I felt the car slide sideways and let off right away. My friend asked why I let off. I told him didn't you feel the car sliding? He just smiled and said that's a good thing. A week later I had smoked the rear tires off the car. I got the hang of a sure grip! Next year out came the 361 in with a 440, Now the fun really started. Every car has a place in my mind or heart but the car was one of my favorite. I can still smell the smoke!View attachment img004.jpg
