Bad part is I had 6 of those in the 80's, they were cheap and nobody wanted them! I never paid more than $500 for a car until 1995!!

You probably did but thought it was a Vega.

Isn't that Lee Iacocca in #7?

And the Dodge Hornet hasn't changed at all!

Those were scary times, I can relate. In 1978 I could buy a 69 Z28 for about $1k. I chose to order a 1979 Z28 for $5600 because I needed a daily driver and could only own one car. Hindsight is a bitch.

My mother had a '72/3 Vega station wagon...I BEGGED my parents to let me keep it and do a SBC motor swap when they decided to get rid of it years later...

I remained angry until '05 when I bought my first Hemi...a Magnum R/T! What can I say...I've always liked wagons.

Nearly bought one too, for the wife. Instead got a jaguar xj8. Even she said a few years later that we should have bought the magnum.
