Default Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!

Passed on a 71 Hemi Cuda... twice. It was a Chrysler Canada Exec car,local broker picked it up and offered it to me in July 71 for $4500. I had been in my first career job for 7 months and just making the last student loan payment so I had no money. Two months later bought a used Camaro.
The following spring,the broker has the car back,first buyer let his wife use it and she hated the car, now the price was $2500...I passed again, I was travelling every week and racking up 500-800 miles per week.

Best decision..... March 1988,original owner called and asked if I knew anybody interested in his 71 442 W30 convert. I had it bought within three hours..still have it.
