That was my exact car except it didn't have that extra venting on the hood. 1970.
I think that it was between $5-6K. The dealer in Richmond Hill also threw in a 50 pound bag of potatoes. No kidding.
He gave it to me when he died. l meant he had the car for almost 10 yrs and did only 30k km on it. "Lol" not because he died.. Excuse my French.
Bought it in 1970 so probably a few years old then. Austin 1800. same color. POS. Got it after living in Calgary for
a year . Bought it in late August. It was sort of a step up in my tiny mind.
As soon as the first frost hit. Wouldn't start. Every morning. Forget about 40 below. The gear box froze. An English mechanic told me. "get rid of it son".
I remember Jay Leno cracking jokes about English cars. "Electrical problems you say? Gee. Never heard of that in an English car"

What I wanted was this 1959 Corvette for sale in 1966 for $1,250.
What I got was a 1965 Ford Mustang that cost $1650 in 1966. It was a less beautiful but more practical car. I had my first minor fender bender in blizzard conditions on a date with a hot majorette from another high school. I should have cancelled out due to weather conditions but as a teenager I still knew everything. The corvette would have been by far the better investment but it needed work and it is doubtful it would have survived the high school and college years. My father Prez senior was a generous but practical man.

The '59 Vette was my dream car from ages 14 to 17, but no way Dad was gonna trust me in it, so he bought me the '63 Pontiac I posted above.
I still cream whenever I see an original '59 though, especially in red/white.
I never got a driver's license. I have poor night vision, and it's useless to own a car if you can't drive at night. I am, however, a great front seat navigator, I'd always let the driver know when the correct exit was about one minute away, in case he needed to change speeds or lanes. I'm not big on travelling, and I live downtown so I could never justify the expense.
