My parents (Mom) bought an orange 510 station wagon new in '71 with a stick. Four of us boys learned how to drive with it, me being the first and the youngest rolled it 6 years later! What a great car that was a blast to drive and ever since then I have been a Datsun fan! Sure is a simple way to buy a car those days.

Also to sweeten the deal, the dealer also sold Honda's and for a mere 200 bucks we got a blue Honda Mini Trail 50! Those things are super expensive these days..

 

Best baby sitter my Dad ever had, Honda 70 Trail Bike with the gas tank under the seat.  I left after breakfast, came home for lunch and a fill up then back home at dark.  Not something to do now days, but back in the '70s; Oh Boy!

 

I've looked at getting another one for the memories but like you said they're high now.  Pit Bikes.
