1980 Chevy Luv. Bright red. Paid cash brand new.
Guys at the lot didn't want to wait on me , they took one look at a young redhead girl and figured I couldn't afford anything.
I rode the wave in airbrushing murals on cahs, bikes , vans, trucks ...was a fun time on the cahlot.
The expression on their faces were priceless as I pulled out my wad of cash and drove my new truck off that lot a short time later. Forgot all about that model lol A re-badged Isuzu pickup. Was a good truck for the era.

67 mercury with straight 6 and 3 on the tree...going to have to fire it up so my kid can drive it
I always wanted to go to Canada and get a Mercury tailgate from a junkyard for my '68 Ford F-100. Most U.S. citizens have never heard of a Mercury pickup. It would have turned heads for sure here.

My first one was a 1969 GMC 1/2 ton with carpet and a special paint job. It was one of the first trucks with carpet, I got laughed at a lot because it had carpet in it. I bought it off the showroom floor. The color was red-orange, it was noticeable from a distance. It had a 350 V8 engine in it.

Don’t remember the model year but it was an international with a very small straight six and top speed of 45. Also had a 71 ford ranger for a work truck. Got that for $1 from the guy I worked with when he lost his license to DUI and couldn’t drive it. Sold it to me for a $1 with stipulation I take him to work daily and help him keep it running. We had all of our framing tools in that truck and both needed it. Spent a lot of time in junkyard looking for parts for that thing.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
