a 20 dollar deposit.......

[eldubb440]

digging through an old box of crap, I came across a cash receipt for a 20 dollar deposit on my GTX ....... and a small bottle of mercury

Cool deal

When $20 would actually buy something
or a down payment in your case on a 68 GTX

I do remember them days too, buying MoPar's for $350-$1,500
all day, everyday in or surrounding the Concord Ca. area/East bay suburbs
circa 1974-1979-ish, most were in great shape too, many were B-bodies
1968-70 Charger R/Ts (12) & 68-70 RRs (13) or even Super Bee's or 67 R/Ts too
I wish I had a time machine, when A-bodies were damn near given away...
Just old used cars...

$20 would get you 2 bags of groceries too, now not even a 1/2 bag

I put insurance on it and drove it home the next day!....... it lived daily driven and parked on the street in NE Philly

Dave S from Marsden St in Philly....... are you one of us?

 

[eldubb440]

I put most of the stuff back into the box......pretty much all trash

but now that I'm thinking about it; I saw a few things I need to take pictures of........but some things must be trashed asap before the wife starts asking questions

Hey Mark, want to double your money? I'm sure I can come up with $1,800.00.

One pound of mercury is around $200+

Price varies with purity.

You should find a buyer.

I used to play with the stuff...... roll it all around on a table top, and back into the bottle..... might explain a few things

We used to roll mercury around in our hands in science class. Then again at YMCA camp I made my father an ashtray out of asbestos. That probably explains a lot about me too.
