Default Re: Five Dumbest things you ever did

This was all before I got smart on cars and parts.

1. Parted out a very real Black/Black deluxe ex race car 1968 Z28 Camaro. No motor or transmission. Emblems were filled in and car had rear flares. I thought it was an original big block car (due to tach redline) at first but it had small block heater box. Car was rusty so I parted it. Still had the DF wheels up front and BU 12 bolt. This was around 2000.

2. Ended up with a BE 12 bolt that had a broken ring and pinion out of Harry Tillman speed shop in 1999. Fixed it with a Richmond gear 4.10, painted it up, and sold it at Englishtown for $900. This is before what I knew what BE meant. I just thought it was cool it was original 4.10.

3. Didn't buy original true barn find at farm in Salem NJ 1970 Chevelle SS 396 4 speed Medium green functional cowl car all original for $1500 because the car had wheel locks (sitting on Ansen slots) with no key. I only had a 2 wheel dolly at the time. Couldn't get it home so I passed on it.

4. Didn't buy 25 Muncie transmissions for $2500 in 2004. Don't know why but that just seemed like a lot of money at the time.

5. Sold a super nice 1967 Fairlane GT 390 4 speed convertible in 2006 for $7500 because I only paid 4k for it a week before. I always wanted one. Why did I sell it? Still kicking myself on that one.
