Time moves on.
I drove a 1967 Delta 88 in my last years of college (never had a car before that). Coincidentally, I also got it for $200 from an uncle.
I have no idea what it would be worth now, since it was a Minnesota car, and therefore a pile of rust with an engine. I replaced the hood with one from a junkyard (not the same color). One door opened only from the outside, and the other only from the inside, so I always entered from the left and exited from the right.
The high school population of today probably has access to used cars of later years at more reasonable prices.
