[Jim Rowland <dodge440@xxxxxxx>]

Along the same line when I was a freshman in high school the service  
station owner down the street in 1960 offered to sell me a 54 Dodge  
Coronet 2 door with a Red Ram engine for $50.00.

Parents stepped in as my grades were not up to their liking.

Also in 1965 a friend passed on a 1959 or 1960 Cross Ram Chrysler 413  
for $800.

Ohhhhhhh Those were the days.

On my part, same year, before I knew much about Mopars, I passed on a  
1964 Fury convertible with Stage III Max Wedge (cross-rammed), custom  
headers, chromed straight front axle/leafs/backing plates, and 4spd.  
car for $1800...of course, I probably would not be writing today if I  
bought it ...would have killed myself at high speed!
