I was 16 in '72. Bought a '61 F100 unibody with 223/3 spd for $315. The six was tired and I couldn't afford a rebuilt Y block so I bought a rusty '57 New Yorker with 392 Hemi/ Torqueflite. You can guess the rest.

Bad news is, a year later gas went from 30c to 60c and I couldn't afford to drive it.

Sold it and bought a '61 Falcon.

Wish I had 'em both now.
