Cars you DID NOT BUY.

[Rixls6]

65 Shelby Mustang in 1979, for $6500. Very clean low mile original with the tri-Y headers, and original spare, and a Paxton supercharger.
We were looking to buy our first house, so didn't buy the Shelby. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Not a car, but an engine. About 1977 for $1,200
66 Hemi out of a Belvedere. All original, and we started it chained to the rafters of an old rickety garage in Chicago. The whole garage shook every time I goosed the throttle. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]
The hoist we brought with couldn't lift the engine and kept sinking down before we could get it high enough to go in the pickup.
Called a wrecker, but his sling wouldn't go high enough either.
Should have tried to get another hoist the next day.
