Another vehicle I had, which I still regret selling, was this 1976 Ford Courier. Probably the only truck I've driven that got 40 mpg.
I found it on Craigslist as a project that never got finished. The guy had already done some bodywork and fixed a bunch of mechanical issues. All I had to do was drop in the newly rebuilt engine.
It was a fun, quirky little truck. Driving it was a real learning experience. It introduced me to the world of points and condensers, lap seatbelts, choke knobs, non-power steering, mechanical lifters and manual drum brakes.
Sadly, times were tight and I had to sell the Courier. I really should have sucked it up and kept the truck, I've never seen another quite like it.
