Worst buying or selling decision!!

[ohhawk]

Worst decision from a emotional standpoint anyway would be an all stock '57 2 dr. HT we purchased from the original owner in Monterey Park, CA back in the early 80s. All stock car that we eventually totally restored. The only Coronado Yellow / White top '57 2 dr HT I've ever seen. Sold it for $15,000 back in the early 90s to some collector from a Detroit suburb (Dryden?).

Wish I had it back along with many others along the trail.

Rich,

That's a dicked move. You sound proud of it. Way to play fair. Maybe someone will pour something down our carb when you get it finished.

Back in 82 I could've bought a buddy's '70 Hemi Challenger for the then equivalent of $7500 , what did I want with an old Dodge I was a Chevy man ...




Couple of years later I coulda bought a L72/4spd 66 SS from the same guy for around $10000 but didn't have the moolah at the time ...



Both cars are back in the US now .

Winter of 76-77, passed on a beat up 67' fastback 427 corvette for $4,500. The seller said it had some special engine in it, what's so special about an L88? I was leery of that new-fangled transistor ignition too, so I bought a 70' LS5 corvette instead, 454 vs. 427, bigger is better, right?

Supernova,the car has been done for 15 years.I did it because the guy blew out all the windows on my car,then lied about who did it.I blew the windows out of the car that belonged to the kid he blamed,then a huge fight broke out and me and the kid this clown blamed almost got thrown out of school.He was a punk,and he never drove the car that he spent all that time working on,and I told him to his face that I did it.

The sad part was that the car he blew the windows out of was a junk I was cutting up.The only reason I gave a crap was because he did it while the car was sitting in shop class and the teacher wigged out on me for making such a mess in the shop.

Selling my 1968 LO23 Hemi Dart race car in 1988 and then finding out 22 years later it was Dick Landy's 1968 4-speed Hemi Dart!
