In 1975 the first car I looked at was a 57 plymouth, the guy was selling it for $50. My brother took me to see it, he had a 65 Ford Galaxie 500 with America Racing Mag wheels. When we got there the owner hooked up the battery and turned it over one time and the engine seized up. Didnt get that one.
Also looked at a 66 T-Bird, brought a mechanic with us who was a family friend, did a test drive but it had a shift problem. My mechanic crawled underneath to take a look and found the vacuum line came loose and fixed it and then drove like a dream. Then all of a sudden the seller decided not to sell it.
