1963 Corvair pick-up truck (orange in color) with a blown engine for $75. My dad had me buy this so we could pull the engine out and overhaul it together. He did this with all 5 of his sons. This is how I learned how to work on engines and every thing else mechanical. Shoot I even overhauled an automatic transmission with him a few years later. Anyway, I sold the Corvair a couple years later for $200 even, to an old couple that loved those trucks.

I remember gas being 29.9 cents per gallon back then.

The 1963 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup offered a 105-inch truck bed. My first love.
