Nope. This should probably go in the "lounge" or general discussion area. No worries, the mods can move it for you.

My worst decision were both my 442 and my Camaro I currently own. I should have waited for the market to tailor off and buy solid examples of both instead of the rust kings I got. Oh well, live and learn.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Doing a complete nut and bolt restoration on a '70 Challenger, RT/SE that was a non numbers 383. So upside down on that one when I sold it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

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.

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".
