1971 Ford Galaxy 500, 351 Windsor 4 barrel carb. Dad and one of his truck drivers rebuilt the engine. Within 2 weeks I had busted a motor mount and shredded the fan housing. Had about 100k miles on it. We bought it in Tampa and moved to NO and then Memphis.
Dad went and got this for me then:
1980 Toyota Tercel, brand new, 5 speed, 60hp 4 cyl. Was 1 of the 1st 30 Tercels in the USA. Cost a whopping $225 total to fix, including paint, when I rolled it on the passenger side into a ditch on a double date. My gal was steering and shifting while ...my hands were occupied. Car actually increased in value by more than $3k even with the repaired body damage in just 3 years.

I had a 72 LTD, same body style, same engine, red, with a white vinyl top. Original papers were in the glove compartment. Cost a little less that $4900 brand new, weighed 5500 lbs.
