I worked with a guy in 1969 that traded his original Shelby 350 Mustang for 
a Vega GT!

On my part, same year, before I knew much about Mopars, I passed on a 1964 
Fury convertible with Stage III Max Wedge (cross-rammed), custom headers, 
chromed straight front axle/leafs/backing plates, and 4spd. car for 
$1800...of course, I probably would not be writing today if I bought it 
...would have killed myself at high speed!
