My first car in the early 80's was a 1970. I bought it for $45, rebuilt the engine for about $300. Drove it for 3 years and sold it for $800.
I had flamable solids and explosives hazmat placards on it. It was a good car. Wish I still had it.
I had one given to me in 1982. I don't remember the year, 1972?, but it had a bad headgasket. We bought a parts car for $50 that was the same year and had a good motor but it turned out there were two different drivetrains that year so no swap.

We ended up junking them both for $100 bucks and those were the last Ford cars I have ever owned.
 
Reminds me of working for an auto dealership in the 80's.
Seems a mechanic took a short nap on the fender of a car while he was stretched out pulling plugs from the left side of the engine. The dealership owner walked through the shop and saw him. Owner took his cigarette lighter and set fire to the shop rag sticking out of the mechanics back pocket. Hillarity ensued. There may have been a few pitchers of beer invloved during lunch that let to the cat nap.
