You simply cannot put a value on how that car enhanced your life over the decades.

Bought 6S1855 for $2,000 in 1987
The worst was passing on purchasing CSX2027 ( for years I thought it was 2017) for $3,500 and trade in of 1431. Didn't have a roof or heater so I turned it down
By the way when I bought 1431 I was making $85 a week, so $1,000 was a bunch of money. I didn't have $1,000!but the dealer I worked at helped get the loan. The bank president co-signed my loan and I paid 14.5% interest for a one year loan.

How could you have known back then where the Cobras would go not to mention Shelby Mustangs. General rule I learned is if they were hot when new then they will be hot when old. And when the top goes down the price goes up.

Very cool, interesting that by 1970 it has red stripes - someone wanted their gt350 to look different..
