Make: Vauxhall
Model: Viva
Year: 1964
Color: blue
Gas Price at the time: 62c / gallon

The car cost me $20 in 1977 (well really I traded a $20 bag of BC Bud for it). It didn't run at the time I got it since it had been sitting in a field for a couple of years, but I took the head off of it, put a 2x4 on top of the cylinder and hit it with a hammer until the engine was unsiezed. Put in fresh oil, gas and a battery, cleaned the plugs and it started right up.

I had that car for about a year and then sold it for $250 because I couldn't afford the insurance while I was in university.
