Re: Cars you DID NOT BUY.
around 88 Sox and Martin Belvedere...Hemi missing..still Red White and Blue and lettered up...went to look at a 67 GTO convert and got hung up on the Hemi...never could get it done..years later turned up at R&R..bunch more money..never found out the history but Ron said it was real, but a back-up car or something..cant remember the details..Ron got sick and the cars all got sold...it was ruff...but still a Hemi car, with Sox and Martin on the side
71 Hemi Charger r/t..no motor, slate grey..$8500..thought too much missing motor..99ish
71 440 6PAK 4 speed charger r/t auto with orig motor included..red with white top loaded air grabber etc..$6000...thought too much...97-99 i guess
70 Super Bee sublime...rust free texas car..440-6 air grabber 4spd on and on..motor in trunk $6000 thought too much around 2000
70 Trans Am Javelin.real RWB with 2 parts cars..$2000..couldnt get it moved quick enough and was crushed because the guy was being evicted etc..all orig missing the 4 speed trans..very nice car..around 99
71 Judge..$4000..correct...dead broke,, 1986
and on and on..
one i really regretted..65 365 h Corvette Coupe..side pipes, knock offs..white with red guts, made up..slicked over bondo buggy...sitting on a buy here pay here lot...$3000 i was 19 maybe 20 and making $8 and hour prepping cars for paint and was barely making it...mom lent me the money...but i got guilty conscious on it, because i already borrowed a ton to go to trade school..etc, and gave her back the check the next day...$3000 seemed like a million to me back then..i didnt know how i was going to pay her back
the next day i bought my first GTO, a 71 triple black 4 speed for $500..54xxx original mile cream puff..bad clutch..wouldnt move, on a car lot and they wanted to dump it...up on St Charles Rock Road in STL...i loved that car...and have pretty much been a GTO guy since..mom gave me the money...she knew i was suffering over the Vette..lol..
