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

Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!
In about 1976 or so I was 19 and didn't have much money. I heard about a 64 Impala SS for sale that was about 40 miles from me. When I got there the car didn't run. A friend and I tinkered with it and got it started. The guy wanted $500. I gave him a $50 deposit and planned to pick it up the next week. I don't remember what happened but I never went back for the car or the deposit I left. BTW, the engine was a 409.

Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!
Buying an IROC Camaro,and basically giving away my 72 SS Chevelle (my 1st car) in the fall of 1984.
The kid I sold it to,wrapped it around a tree and totaled it,and I stumbled upon it at Victory Auto Wreckers months later...  I pulled the buildsheet from the backseat before they crushed it,and still have it today.
