Co-worker of my dad gave me a '65 VW notchback if my dad would just get it out of the driveway. He got it from a high school shop class. I guess it was no good to them anymore.
Cracked block, leaked and burned oil. Had to check/fill the oil everyday. Nearly no reverse. The hood would fly up at highway speed.
Dad got it running standing out in the driveway out in the snow and it was my first car. The upside was... it was free.
Sold it to a friend 6 months later for $150 (value of the 8 track stereo I put in with big honkin' speakers) who failed to check the oil everyday like I told him, and it burned up three days later.
Not the actual car.
