Default Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!

Mine are not as bad as some of yours, but they hurt me just the same

Buying my SS350 basket For $500 and not waiting for a more complete car. Then to top it off accidentaly including the original smog manifolds in a 69 El C sale instead of the auto ones.

Selling any of my past cars (69 Mach I, 66 Pontiac tempest, 64 chevy pickup, 69 El C!)

My parent's biggest selling decision was when they traded in the 1969 GT500 they bought brand new; traded it in for a 1970 Olds Delta 88 convertible

A few of my mistakes;

Passing on the Ivy Green '66 GT350 for $8,000 at Carlisle back in the mid eighties.
Not buying the Palladium silver RAIV Judge that was for sale at Carlisle in the early '80's. Car was a former POCI national champion and was perfect.
Not checking out the grabber blue '70 Boss 302 that was for sale at a place called "Car Village" in Pa. back in the '80's.
Finally, selling my Forrest Green '70 Z28 because I wasn't real fond of the green color (I love it now) and also selling my 1968 SS/RS 396 Camaro. Sold that one when the wife and I bought our house and we needed things.
