It had some pep, but you had to keep pressure on the stick or it wouldn't stay in 5th. After I had an incident with an oncoming car and a telephone pole the passenger side door had to just be wired shut. It got me around just fine though for a couple years.

I didn’t have my own car until I could pay for it myself. I came home from my summer job in Alaska (about 1975) with a pocket full of money and my dad said “whatever you buy, make sure it’s reliable and practical.” I of course knew better than to follow his advice and bought a 1970 Triumph GT6. It was a blast to drive but a major pain to own. I had no idea how to work on it and was the opposite of reliable

In 1970 I bought a 1964 Nova SS with a 283 automatic. White with Black vinyl bucket seats. I had a paper route “one of my jobs” and one of my customers owned it. I told him if he ever decided to sell it I wanted to by it. He called me from the Chevy dealer and said they offered him 500.00 in trade and if I wanted it for 500.00 it was mine. I was beside myself. Wish I still had it!

1978 International Scout II
Pic is one very similar to mine....It was our hunting vehicle but became my first car when I turned 16 in 1986. Mine was all white with an orange/yellow and black stripe and 33" tires. I loved/hated that thing. It had a rare 4cylinder engine and broke down all the time. In the 3 years I drove it I had to rebuild the engine (new rings, mill the head etc), rebuild transmission (with a lot of help from my Grandpa) and it was always having exhaust issues due to everything vibrating lose. It taught me to save my $ and buy a more reliable vehicle and also taught me that I didn't want to be a mechanic for a career!
