Worst buying or selling decision!!

[Canuck]

Passed on a 71 Hemi Cuda... twice. It was a Chrysler Canada Exec car,local broker picked it up and offered it to me in July 71 for $4500. I had been in my first career job for 7 months and just making the last student loan payment so I had no money. Two months later bought a used Camaro.
The following spring,the broker has the car back,first buyer let his wife use it and she hated the car, now the price was $2500...I passed again, I was travelling every week and racking up 500-800 miles per week.

Best decision..... March 1988,original owner called and asked if I knew anybody interested in his 71 442 W30 convert. I had it bought within three hours..still have it.

Back '83 I bought a complete, fresh 396 and GAVE AWAY what was probably my Chevelle's original engine.

Paul, that's honestly one of my favorite cars, ever. Green on green, with the W-25 hood, dog dish caps, and topped off with the W-30. Absolutely fantastic. I love green cars.

5 years ago I passed up a very nice offer to by the 69 Rallye Green COPO Camaro that Nickey now has. My wife and I still kick ourselves over that one.

My brother passing on a JL8 Z in the early 80's cause it was too expensive, $8k.

Pulled a 70 GSX Stage 1 4-speed w/air car out of the brush about 7 years ago. Paid 12k for it and turned right around and sold it 18k thinking it would cost too much to restore.
