Well when i was 17 i went out to look at some cars with my dad for my first car.We looked at a 71 yellow nova then a blue 72 ranchero ,My dad had enough and wanted to go home and i said i know where there is a car for sale siting at the end of a drive way can we go check it out? I wasn't sure what it was but thought it looked cool ! so we get there and find out it was a 69 firebird 350 automatic red with parchment interior ,We talked to the owner and she wanted $1000 bucks as is.Sold!! i remember my dad taking me to the bank and i withdrew $1000 dollars cash ,most cash i ever carried . Anyway we got the car home took it in to get safetied cost me another $200 dollars and i had my first car on the road.Man i loved that car!
