The Good Old Days Of Car Values

In 1980, $100. could get you a car that you could actually drive. Not a great or valuable car by any means, but a car that could get you around town as daily transportation. At that time I remember thinking how if I could just make $100. a week I'd have it made.
In the fall of 1982 I paid $100. for a '68 VW Beetle and drove it as a winter beater. I sold it for $80. the following spring.
As for valuable cars of the day, I paid $1700. for my '70 GTX in the spring of 1981 - which needed nothing - it was a driving car when I got it. That was my first car and was my daily driver except for when it was in winter storage.
