I always liked the look of the 1982. When I was a greenhorn, and was still washing cars, and changing oil at the dealership, they took one of these on trade . Exactly like this one . It needed a clutch,2nd gear synchros, and was a little bit beat up . It sat in our used car dept for months , and I drooled over it every day .
I made $ 4.35 an hour , and the used car manager got me approved for a loan on it for around 6 grand .
I was eating balogney sandwiches 3 meals a day, and already working 2 + jobs, but I really wanted it .
My wiser side won out, and I kept on paying my rent instead .
