The Grabber, how could I forget that piece of automotive excellence?

 

One trip to Vato Zone and $57.34 later my dream was realized

 

In the 60's you could buy a whole car for that much money....

 

Good Morning. Sunday, sweet, Sunday.
Don't forget about the Mercury Vomit(comet).

 

Al, in the winter of 1971 I paid fifty bucks for a 1958 Olds 88 Sedan that was almost flawless. White with green pleather interior. Wish I had that sucker now.

 

Mornin Mike!

Al, when I was a kid I thought $20 a week was big money. That was what our baby sitter was getting paid. And I thought a car was around $80, and figured that I could baby sit for a month when I was old enough and buy my own car

 

When I was 16,my father came home with a '48 Chevy that actually ran. he bought it from an old guy in town who was going back to Italy. He paid $20 for it. Bought it for me to play with and learn. NO rust at all...guy had painted it with roofing tar!!!

 

Mick, that would make a sweet lowrider

 

Morning, Mikey.....I had a '62 Comet...hahah...called it the "Vomit", too.

 

Hahahaa...didn't leak, either.
