The year: 1978
The situation: I'm going to look at a used car
The car: '70 Challenger, 383 auto console, burnt orange/burnt orange. Running, no rust, no obvious issues.
The conversation went something like this:
Dad: "Son, where are you going?"
Me: "I'm going back to look at a used car and give the guy a deposit."
Dad: "What is it, what year, does it have any issues and HOW MUCH?"
Me: "Real nice '70 Challenger. No rust, no dents, starts right up and doesn't leak. $800."
Dad: "How much???? No 18 year old son of mine is going to pay $800 for an 8 year old car!!!"
$3K for that pile? My dad would roll over in his grave!
