big tony: my apologies, you do have a meeting of the minds. $1200. i once bought a new car for that much. if my memory serves me it was an autin american, front wheel drive 2 dr sedan. that was in the late 60's or early 70's. my 55 mgtf was about the same price, but that was back before your folks were born.

the autin was $1200. if i wanted it spelled austin, it was and extra $35.00. i passed on the extra $35.
