Tom... your family used to have all kind of Chevy muscle cars on the car lot back in the 1980s I wish I could have bought. It just wasn't in the cards for a broke high school kid. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Along those lines, how about cars you bought and parted / junked? In 1980, my Dad was building a '40 Chevy coupe street rod. He bought a fairly solid '66 Malibu convertible for the running 283. Ermine white, red interior, black roof. Bought the car for $60, drove it home, yanked the engine, and sent it to the junkyard!

The worst &quot;wish I woulda bought it&quot; was a '70 SS396 convertible. Astro blue, blue buckets, 4-spd. Original engine gone and replaced with a hopped up 327. $2500. This was around 1985 in the west end of Pittsburgh. My Dad has a '63 Impala 327 4-spd for sale at the time, and there was no room or money for another car until the impala sold. The Chevelle got sold to a kid who wrapped it around a pole coming home from the bar 3 weeks after he bought it.
