$500 for a '59 VW in 1968.

$1,700 for a two year old Chevy P/U in 1978. I started working at age 14 and saved 1/2 of the cash purchase, parent's matched the other half, but I had to pay my own insurance, maintenance and fuel.

In 1976 I bought a used 1972 F-100 Ranger XLT for $2100. It was being used for towing goose-necks, so it had a utility flat bed on it. After I had already made the deal, the guy said "If you want the original bed, its in the barn, under some hay bails. The bed turned out to be almost perfect.
