Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!
worst: buying a diamond for the ex-wife 25 years ago....
 best: while living in a 10' wide trailer and rolling pennies and spending the 'house' money to buy my ZL-1...which eventually helped lead to my divorce...haha... ..and actually helped me pay for my divorce when I sold it too!!!

Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!
Letting my dad talk me out of buying a 1970 GSX because the 455 would get terrible gas mileage. Yellow with a black stripe. It had black interior with buckets and a automatic. The non-original motor was rebuilt with the original heads, that was the bad part. The good part was that the original motor was in the trunk! LOL
I heard $900 bought the car. This was about 1984 in Beloit WI.

Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!
Too many to list. The one I regret most is parting and crushing a 68 Hemi Super Bee a few years back. Hated to do it, but the car had been "V.I.N. farmed".

Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!
Worst....In 1977, selling a 13,000 mile ***perfect condition*** LeMans blue 69 Nova SS that was originally a Brigance Chevy 427 conversion car that had been street raced since new. It had a 283 in it when I had it, but it was still like a brand new car. Still had the 5.13 gear in it when I bought it. My wife was mad at me when I sold it back then, and she still reminds me about that to this day
 Should have kept it and sold my 73 Z28 Camaro...dumb, dumb, dumb
