Macomb, MI
Quoted from RandomGuyOffCL:I really hate you...I mean I really hate myself...back in 05 after selling my house, I had about $300k in my checking...went to the ford dealership and saw this car in the showroom, i touched it, could have paid cash for a couple of them...instead I bought a 97 thunderbird Lx V8 for $4000 from the used inventory and rolled the remaining $296,000 into buying my next home.
Well, I still have the thunderbird.
I could tell literally 8-10 stories like this through the years in dealing with classic cars.
The one that stings the most - In 1988 I saw a Daytona Yellow 1969 Camaro for sale on the side of the road at a farm. Turned out to be an original Z/28 with the original DZ302 block still in it. The real kicker is that it was a JL8 rear disc brake car which is stupid rare. The guy wanted $3400 for it and I passed because it had a bit of rust forming on the rear quarter. Today, it would be a huge dollar car. I still have dreams about buying and restoring that car.....
