It was back in 1977, I was 18, worked at a fiberglass boat repair yard, saved my pennies, 2.60 an hour back then, bought a 64 dodge polara 500, 383 2 barrel bucket seat console auto, sweet car, I paid $500.00 bucks, then put all new front end under it , trans, brakes exhaust tires wheels then rolled it, man was my mom impressed with me, found another 64 that was a 4-speed car, but just put all my running gear in it and raised hell with it after that, man, were those the good old days or what. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Watters [mailto:tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 1:25 PM To: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx; 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: dumb thread My dad paid the $75 for my first car. He said, this is the only one he'd buy. It was a '73 Coronet 4-door Dark Pine with a white vinyl top. I had to replace rotors and calipers, but we had spare's in the barn for them. :) My second mopar cost $50 rolling chassis '78 Fury 2-door. Had that saved up. From Ditch-digging and hay hauling money. Put a 318 in it (out of the barn again) --Tom On Tue, 16 Mar 2004 18:42:55 -0800, "Robert neal zimmerman" <northwestweirdo@xxxxxxxxxxx> said: > heres a dumb thread- HOW DID U EARN THE MONEY FOR YOUR FIRST MOPAR? > Mine was washing dishes. > An interesting side note: my sisters got their first Mopar bought for > them by Dad, a beautiful green 59 Plymouth Fury, man i loved that car, > maybe thats when the mopar bug hit.
