Story: Hey, I was an impoverished university student!
I'd previously driven and worked on a 1970 GA Galant owned by my parents,
so I got a similar model to ensure I'd be familiar with the mechanicals
(I should have said impoverished engineering student, which meant
I wanted to fix the car myself wherever possible). Interestingly, the 1970
(and onwards) Galant was sold by Chrysler, but was in fact a rebadged Mitusbishi
first introduced into Australia in 1969 as the 'Colt' (which was the model
I actually bought, for $1300).
