In 1974 I purchased a 1964 Convertible for $125. It had a quarter size rust spot on the top of the pass fender ? It was an auto, air & power top car. I found some of the knockoff wire wheels (yes wheels) at a used car dealership for $40 and spent another $900 totally restoring the car. It was white with black interior. I worked at a tire dealer back then and put some BR-60-13 BF Goodrich thin white line radial tires on it. It was massively beautiful. I went out of town and an ex friend drove it and wrecked it. I sold it to his dad for $1800. Big mistake. Wish I could find some pics. I've also owned a couple of Spider Coupes and a 68 Corsa. I would certainly have a couple in my collection if I won the lottery!
