Worst buying or selling decision!!

[SS427]

......not taking Chads advice and flying to upstate New York to personally hand an original owner some down payment money on a certain LS6 convertible. The owner said there was no need and he was a man of his words. Instead he sold it to someone who knocked on his door a week before I was to go get it. As Jeff Dunham would say........DUMB A$$!!!!!

In 1979...I went to look at a T/A 340 six pack Challenger that was being sold by the original owner. It was a root beer-ish brown color and he was selling it because he had started a family. He wanted either $3200 or $3500...but I ended up getting a 6 cylinder Nova instead (family didn't think it was wise for me to have the car) The car was perfect in every way...

Also, within a year of that...I spotted a 69 Trans Am on the used car lot of a Buick dealer in Westminster, Ca. The price on the window was ~$3300... I called my brother Gary, and by the time we got back up there it was gone

There was a white with blue top 1967 Camaro convertible that was always parked at Gemco near our house. I used to laugh because it had a metallic blue nose stripe and blue interior...and I "KNEW" that they never came that way (Yeah right). I often wonder what happened to that car?

Finally, there was a green 1969 RS/SS 396 for sale on a used car lot at the corner of Lincoln and Brookhurst for $2500...didn't get that one either

In 1965.....one of the guys I hung around with was looking for a car and we saw there was a 65 Chevelle in Skokie Ill that was advertised in the Chicago Sun-Times.....so ...we drive out there to look at it and it ended up being a Red/Black Vinyl Top Red Interior Z-16.....the guy that bought it couldn't afford it ......he was asking $3500 and my friend offered $3000.....No Deal....so we drove over to Mr. Norm's place and he bought a red Coronet 383 4 speed car.....LOL

I went to look at a '68 Camaro with a transplanted '68 L-78 from a Chevelle. ALL the GOOD parts were still on the engine and the car was a RS with tilt, gauges,custom interior, etc. Original SB car with a TH350 and a 10 bolt. Body was saveable, but not 'pretty'. (I had visions of doing a '68 version of a B/M car. ) The owner wanted $7k for the car and I didn't think I could come out on it so I passed and a friend bought it.

He split the engine from the body and listed it on e-bay. The engine with ALL the correct dated components (including the OE dated plug wires!) sold for $7200, and the buyer came to pick it up. The rolling car sans engine brought another $7k. Turns out it was also a "- -" paint car that looked to be Grecian Green, but was just a bit lighter.

I still have pictures of the car and they pop up on the computer every so often to remind me. Off in the distance I can hear Ron White and Jeff Dunham talking about me.

Talked to my mother last night, and she reminded me that she tried to give me her 64 impala ss 327 when i turned 16, but i thought it looked like an old lady car, so i got a 1971 capri as my first car!! good choice!

I sold one of the original eight T/A Radial Tirebirds in 1980. I was using it to drive to work and I broke my left leg. I couldn't drive a stick for months. So, I sold it for $2,200.00 and bought an automatic Firebird Esprit.

Canepa Design in L.A. has one for sale now. Asking Price is $750,000.00
