Nice car, do you still have it?

$1K probably seemed like a lot in 1972. I bought a clean, low mileage 1967 Cougar for $1500 in '72.

Gee, and I thought I got a good deal in 77 when I paid 3300$ for my 62!



Glad you still have it, looks great.

Over my 50 year dream of owning an early Vette, I often imagined it being black with a silver cove. love that combination

Kermudgeon. With legs like that, I'd recommend long pants.
