My first car was a 59 Impala that I "restored" after a fender bender from parts off a 59 Bel Air. Total cost after selling the remnants of the Bel Air to a wrecking yard, $65
I sold it a few years later for a few hundred.
348 V8, slip and slide powerglide transmission. Less than 50,000 when I got it, from people that bought it from my uncle when they were 70.
