Graduated HS and got a job. My Dad let me drive his '65 Rambler until I saved up enough for a down payment for my first car.
1971 In-Violet 340 'cuda, 11,000 miles, 3.23 gears, white gut and roof, Rallye dash and a 3-speed manual eek. In 6 months I had a Pistol Grip 4-speed out of a totaled low mile '72 340 Challenger installed. 2 years later, I sold it to my brother (his first car) and he still has it. Great car and I still miss it.
