I love stories about cars people once had, and got rid of, or about cars you should have bought but didn't. Would like to hear others. Here's mine:
I was 15 (1978) riding somewhere with my dad. We pass a gas station with a 1970 (I think) Chevelle SS454 Convertible for sale. Orange with white stripes, white top and interior. As I recall, the car was in great shape and it was $1,500. I remember begging my Dad to buy it. Even then I knew it was special. Needless to say, he did not stop.
Also, when I was 7 or 8, my best friend's sister had a 1969 Trans Am convertible. White with Blue stripes. Many years later I saw a show that said there were only eight (8) made and those remaining were worth over $100,000.
Sorry so long, but I have a bunch of shoulda, woulda, coulda stories like that.
