Remember when this was what they cost?

I got a job at McDonald's in the summer of 67 when I turned 16 for $1 an hour. In Oct. of 68 I bought a well optioned used 66 A100 Custom Sportsman window van for $1500. In spring of 69 I fumbled through my first attempt at an engine swap, putting a 65 Commando 273 into the van, so now it needed premium. I remember filling it up when it was almost empty and getting a quarter back from my $10 bill.

So yes, I remember when cars were seemingly cheap, but I didn't make but $2 an hour, so it's all relative. And if you were a young single guy insurance was not cheap either, especially if you got any tickets or had an accident.
