Cars you DID NOT BUY.

[VintageMusclecar]

2005: I'd just sold my Pro Street `67 Chevelle and was on the hunt for a restoration project. I highlighted the details of the full story elsewhere on here, but in a nutshell by sheer happenstance I happened to find the current owner of my first `67 SS396 Chevelle. It was on a car lot here in Ohio.

I called the owner and after a brief discussion he emailed me several pics of the car. He was up-front and told me the quarters had been poorly installed and would need to be re-done, and the pics showed a mediocre paint job at best anyways.

Unfortunately for me the seller was apparently suffering from a severe case of eBay-itis when I inquired about the price.

As much as it broke my heart, I had to let my first love slip through my fingers again. I just couldn't justify getting gouged like that to get my old car back, mainly since it still needed so much work to make it right.







Love that quarter panel emblem placement. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]















The car was an automatic originally and when I owned it. My friend who I sold the car to converted it to a 4 speed.









When I owned it (~1984-1985)



Wherever she is today, I hope she has a good home. Even though I couldn't get her back, I did wind up buying my current Chevelle shortly after finding this one...and most know what an epic journey that turned into.
