Default Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!

Taking a 1970 GTO and converting it into a full fledge bracket car. This while the musclecar market was affordable in the early 90's and missing out on growing my collection to go racing.

Talk about being upside down in a car. You want to make a small fortune in racing? Start with a big one.

10 years later I ate the loss on the car because of three kids. Now I'm slowly rebuilding my other toys and searching for deals.

Also passed on a 69 Judge in 1993 or so, because it was $2,500 and in pieces in the kid's parent's garage. All I had to do was go get it. the car ended up in Wausau, WI and got the restoration it deserved.

Go figure.
