1975. A buddy bought a Triumph TR4. No power but still a blast to cruise around in with the top down. Even though the car wasn't white, our theme song cranked as loud as the cheap stereo would go was "The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car" (Trooper).
He traded it to another buddy the following year for a 396 Chevy 4-door boat. The new owner repainted it fire engine red, and it was like: Wow! Where was that car hiding?
He was driving it down the freeway a year or two later and one of the wheels and associated suspension fell off. (No one hurt.)
