Old Newspaper Classified Ads From 1977

[Old Moparz]

I scanned some ads I found in an old newspaper. The paper was used as packing materials in a box of junk. The paper is called The Bergen Record, a northern New Jersey publication. I used to deliver this newspaper on my bike, too.

Dibs on the 70 Coronet wagon for $150!  Hell it comes with extra tires! 

[Old Moparz]

More ads.  


Anyone know if the Dan Gurney Cougar was a performance, or a trim package?

Here's an ad from a dealer in Paramus that was a huge sleazebag. The same newspaper that ran his ads did a big front page story on how he screwed over his customers. He pulled all his ads after that for a few months, then started up as if nothing happened. The story said he was originally from Texas & burned his bridges there screwing customers. Texas booted him & re-wrote some sales laws because of his practices. He owned 2 dealerships called "Wild Bill's Dodge" & "Paramus Chrysler Plymouth" on Rte 4.

Someone should try calling these numbers, outside chance the same person lives there,  and saying just saw you ad and would like to come down to see the car, that would be hilarious

More ads from Wild Bill.

[Old Moparz]

New Jeeps for only $4695 !!  I'll take two. 

[Old Moparz]

Jethro Tull & Queen tickets, saw them both back then. 

Jodi's 7th birthday ad from her Mom & Dad. Now she's probably signing them into a nursing home. 

A mature Jewish woman who walks & bikes is now pushing 102 if she's still around. She'd be a good example of what getting outside & exercise can do for you. 

Portable car phones installed for $999.00        Must have looked like the one Mannix had in his Dart.

This ad is cool.   

[Old Moparz]

Same dealer, Wild Bill.

There's a bunch more I hadn't scanned, some older Camaros, Firebirds & Mustang II's. There's a Buick GS as well, but it's a 350 car, not the 455.

Oh look!!  Turkey is on sale & they have double coupons. 

[chargerman69]

69 coronet $395

[JB400]

You have some pretty cool ads   I'd have to look at that 69 440 car for $375   Doesn't matter what Dodge it is, it still be a cheap cruiser

        Thanks of posting

You're not missing much.    Most of the ones I remember looked just like the AMC Hornet, but with a padded vinyl landau roof & extra goofy trim.

[JB400]

   The AMX was the performance version if you could call it that

[RallyeMike]

Brings back good memories of scanning the ads in the paper every Sunday looking for big-block B-bodies for cheap. Of course I was always broke back then.

Your in luck.It's good on gas.

Man,that's depressing. Even accounting for inflation, the $2795 Roadrunner would be about $16.5K in todays money and the $3395 Superbird about $20K

here's something to make looking at those ads more fun:

Top middle column - 69 Dodge "Good on gas"...

[Old Moparz]

I saved another old paper with some ads but I can't find it at the moment. I also have an old Want Ad Press that was a local publication where I lived in NJ for a while.

Interesting, but using that calculator and taking the price of gas when I started driving,  Gas should be $1.52 now, which is actually about what its worth.

[Cooter]

Exactly. A Huge difference between inflation and stupid, rich people buying wing cars for $500K....
