In the fall of 1976 , the Captain was 18. Seems inctedible now, but then, in MASS. that was the legal drnking age., so me and my buds Never went from point “A” !to point “B” wihout Beer. And so…one fine day we drove to Wellesley to check out a ‘69 connvert. very similar to this one-except it was a cool metallic green. The car was really cherry and the lady only wanted $900 bucks -But then. I found only one rust-hole about the size of an brown egg. .
-But since it was on the left frame, I didnt like it, so we split.
In 1969 I taught my 18 year-old girlfriend to drive in my Corvair. Her dad took us to the Pontiac dealer to pick out her Birthday present. 😁 He leaned on a gold GTO Judge convertible and said, ” How about this one?” I froze and silently held still. She replied
” Too flashy.” Yikes. We settled on a green Firebird, but when the salesman tried to charge $400 extra for the radio which was already installed and included on the sticker price, we walked and went next door and got a sky-blue Mercury Cougar with a console shift automatic and Windsor 351.
These were AWESONE at $3,300 bucks !!!
