I wish it was closer craigslist finds

I'm 65. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the "values" of what not too long ago, I'd like to think, were $800 cars. In 2008, I bought my '74 Dart Sport. (pictured then and now). No options, no rust (the reason I bought it), 198, 3 on the tree (360, 727, 9" now). I paid $1500, and remember thinking it was too much. Glad I bought it then.

I often wonder who sprayed ugly brown over the ugly avocado gold. :realcrazy:

same, same. i remember when these cars were *cheap* too!

i mean, you couldn't buy barracudas or 340 darts for beer money or anything but you could get something that ran and drove for $500 or a 4dr that was pretty darn nice for 1500.

now clapped out 4drs are 5K and anything sub 1500 is stuff that i've seen better in the junkyard!
