If you really want something to cry over, get hold of late sixties Road &
Track then look in the cars for sale section at the back to see what the
no longer competitive race cars were going for. A few thousand dollars
would have picked up a no longer competitive V12 racing Ferrari. Or you
could pick up an old clunker D type Jag on the cheap.
A person I worked with in '68 picked up a '56 Astin Martin DB3S for $350.
It belonged to a kid that choose Canada to the draft. His Father sold
it to get more garage space. The new owner used it as a commute car in
good weather. The generator was bad so he would park it under my opening
window & run an extension cord out to the charger when he drove it to
work.
In '67 I looked at a Fiat Arbarth that was for sale for $1500. Nice read
double bubble car. I passed it up because I didn't know enough about
mechanics then to keep it in good running order.
One era's clunker is another era's classic
