<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SS427</div><div class="ubbcode-body">1964 Thunderbolt for $1000 in 1976. Thought it was too much for me at 16 and first time driver.
1961 Impala SS convertible in 1977, 348 3x2 4-speed, white with red guts for $500. Walked away because generator was missing rear mount and had a coat hanger to stabilize it. I did not want a jury-rigged car. Otherwise a mint car.
1969 White COPO 427/425 Chevelle in Richfield, MN around 1979. Didn't buy it because I did not believe Chevrolet built a 427 Chevelle in 1969 and thought it was fake. I don't remember the asking price. Well known car today.
1970 Orange 440 6-pack Super Bee in 1979 for $900. Did not think my buddies would approve of me buying a Mopar.
3 1970-71 Hemi Cuda convertibles used at my 1978 High School Homecoming parade for the dignitaries. All three owned by the same owner in Blaine, MN and had for sale signs on the side quarter windows during the parade. I approached the owner after the parade and asked how much and he said something like $1500 each. I laughed and walked away.....
1965 Maroon Impala SS 409/340 convertible around 1981. $3500. Thought it was too much money.
1970 Shadow Grey, white interior, black vinyl top M22 LS6 Chevelle in 1981, Owned by Scott Ellingson (owned International Metal Strippers). Asking $5000. Thought it was too much.
1965 Z16 complete 396 engine in a junk yard in MN around 1982. Front clip of car was still in yard but body had been crushed. Had two friends with to verify. $700, Too much.
1949 Mercedes convertible around 1988, $1500. What the hell would I want with a Mercedes....
1969 Kingswood Estate Wagon, 427/425 in Bloomington, MN around 1990. $3500, too much.
1968 GT500 I found while on my 10 year wedding anniversary weekend in 1991 and we were out driving around in Dodge Center, MN. Drove past a farm and saw it sitting in a farmers 900' driveway drainage ditch. I copied the VIN down as no one was home and had a State cop buddy run the VIN. The car had not been registered in several years and the owner had a arrest list like I had never seen. Finally got a hold of him. Wanted $13,000. I told him he was nuts and a Mustang friend of mine bought it. Known car today.

Numerous other cars and too many to list besides the fact that it hurts too much.

Are there any pictures floating around of your 1978 High School Homecoming Parade? Was the town paper present perhaps?
