My first was in 1994.
1975 350 4-speed. I heard from a friend of a friend that it was sitting in a garage and needed a transmission. Woman was asking $2,000, ended up paying $1,700. As I was loading it, she told me she had the trans at her parent's place, it just needed to be installed. I bought a gasket set for the super T-10 and a battery and that was it. Drove it for years.
I had to keep that black bra on, the paint was totally faded a different color.
