67 Firebird 400. One owner, local car. It still had the opti-clean glass bottle windshield washer resivor. $4500 IIRC. Needed paint but the body was pretty good.

74 Formula 455---white with red interior. Some where around 4-6K---had no cash in either cars!

My dad got a 69 ss 396 new in 1969. He sold it in 1971 when he met my mom and she made him get a buick..... In 1991, the guy he sold it to called and offered the same 69 back to him. It was in perfect shape and all original still. he said no........

He never told me how much it would have been. I was only 10 at the time. He says it was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made was to not buy it back.

1990 V6 Dakota $300 about 2 years ago. Decided to buy an S10 instead..

1993 open class Subaru Legacy rallycar. Tons of parts and engines and everything. Full Can-Jam built body with rally computer everything plus a lil corp help thru Subaru canada for a season running amateur. $6000................... My old 93 Z ended up at the dealership and my camaro DNA took over............again............... Coolest thing about the car is it had won 3 canadian rally championships. I still regret not finding a way to have gotten both.

1976 trans am 455 4 speed, 3k this week, dad should have bought it.

Had a choice between a 2005 S60R and a 2004 G35 for about 14k and my parents convinced me to get this Grand Am for 10...

i remenber the 68 formula, i thought you were buying it, if i had known you were going to pass i would have bought it. remember the guy said his son didn't want it he wanted a honda civic! if my boy does that 15 years from now i'll kick his ass over his shoulders!

hb35man · 01-14-2010, 10:10 PM

1965 Mercury Cyclone,black,289,headers ,cam,four speed it was gorgeous.Only $2000.

. But I was just about to make the trip to South East Asia so I sent the money home and used it for a down payment on ten acres of farmland.
It was 1971 and I remember it like it was yesterday.

I passed on a 1969 Camaro 427 COPO 4 Speed for $2800 in 1973 and bought a 1967 Camaro SS 350 4 Speed for $1800.

My banker called me a many years ago and said they just repoed a 94 viper with 2000miles on it and they only needed 15grand to get out from under it. At the time my stable was full and didn't have anywhere to put a car that had no top. So a friend of mine got it and still has it. Now it only has 20,000miles on it.
