Bought my 69 in 1971 for $800.00. 440 six pack with 4 speed. No power steering, no power brakes. Road Runner yellow. Two years later me and a tree had a disagreement and I lost. Straight country road, at night, no lights on the road, a little foggy and a speed limit of 50MPH. I was doing the speed limit when a 90 degree turn appeared. I was four feet away from missing the tree, but then I would have crashed into someone's living room.

I came out better than the highway patrol who came out to investigate. They went straight off the road, at high speed, and killed them both when they hit the concrete culvert.

Next morning signs and flashing lights were being installed. I was in the hospital for 10 days.
