Driving it in February with the top down and heater on
Plywood floorboard repair by Eastern Auto
Bi-weekly trips to Eastern Auto for repairs.
My mother actually encouraged me to buy it.

Mazda Miata is a nice replacement for this unreliable beast.

1964 Dodge Dart

Memories:
Tim: This is the car that replaced my first Mustang.I did succeed in putting some money in the bank and going out to shop for this.My most vivid memory of this car was ...at some point in my freshman year of college,I cleaned the car inside and out and found a significant stash of liquor.....more than enough to get me in trouble at school....or at home. It included a number of beverages which I was not familiar with at that point in my life.

1965 Plymouth Fury, Dark Brown
Purchase Price: Graduation Gift

Memories:

Tim: The car I drove in my last year at Central High in1970, was a dark brown 1965 Plymouth Fury 1, which had spent the best years of its life as a taxi.It was safe and reliable and could conveniently if not comfortably transport 6 people .Dad and Mom gave me the car for my graduation present. The first thing I did was have Dad working on a deal to trade it in on something more suitable.As I recall, this was one of the times in my life that I disappointed my Mom....she thought this showed a real lack of gratitude for a gift given and received.
