I also graduated in 1982 and was given $500 towards a car!
Bought a 1965 Chevelle. Trashed it and then bought a 1966 GTO Convertible as I was making decent money by then.
I can remember putting 60 cents of gas in it to go see my girlfriend
$5 would give me 1/2 of a tank. There were muscle cars everywhere.
My uncle had a 1970 hemi Cuda convertible (one of 5 four speeds). It was the king of the town. It sat in our driveway for sale for $3850. Never sold. He traded it in the late eighties for $140,000 plus a fully restored fully documented 440 six pack challenger convertible. Some Florida zillionaire bought it and flew Galen Govier out here to check it over. Car is worth 3 - 5 million today. I don't know where it is these days.
