Cars you DID NOT BUY.

[olredalert]

----OK,,,Ill tell you about one more. I had taken a job offer from Jack Douglas and his partner Richard Buxbaum to go to work at Classic Motors in 1976. Had to move from Ft. Liquerdale to Chicago. Went to work my first day at the old Jack Douglas Chevrolet store just off 294 in Hinsdale (home of the Ferrari dealership today, I think). I went down the stairs into the shop and there was a guy detailing out a GT40 Ford. I was kind of surprised, but Richard told me he found it one town over and bought it. He then informed me that this particular GT40 ran at Lemans until the Coletti transaxle puked. Later Richard told me I could own it for $30,000. I had just bought a house for a couple of bucks more than that and had to finance about 90% of that, so it just wasn't in the cards. Should have hocked everything I had and slept in my car. Whats that car worth today???......Bill S
