Back in 1972, I test drove a '68 GTX with a buddy. The seller, a graduating senior at Penn State, told us he was only paying $300 a year for insurance, by reporting it as a Belvedere two door, with a V-8. My friend's dad played it straight, getting a quote on the family policy with the GTX as the model. The rate came in four times as high, and my friend continued driving his Fiat 850 until we graduated in 1975.
I bought my first GTX two years later, and even with a perfect driving record, my status as a single male under 25 resulted in insurance costing more than my car payment of $77 per month. The rate dropped by half when I got married six months later.

I paid $175 for my 59 Plymouth Fury. $175 for a 53 GMC panel van. $175 for a 53 Chev with a 6 cylinder. All those in 67, and 69. I paid $00 for my 77 Dodge camper van, but managed to spend about $15,000 over the last three years.
One tyre is more money than what a vehicle cost a few years ago.

I had the original bill of sale for my 69 Barracuda. The trade in was a VW Beetle. I'd say that was an upgrade.

The Demonstrator is titled as a Plymouth 2 door coupe. It's insured for nearly 50 times more than the first one in the 70s, but now the insurance premium is under $300 per year. Worth the wait.

In 1972 a fellow worker and I went to buy groceries on a Saturday. Just so happened that our wives were working together at a shoe store.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
We went to Safeway, Ken spent 30.00 on Groceries. Got to his car unloaded them. Ken said they forgot a bag. I said how do you know. He replied groceries always add up to about $5.00 per bag. Sure enough the kid loading the bags forgot one.

20 bucks at the grocery store gets you something to carry out in one hand.
