Re: Five Dumbest things you ever did
----As you might guess, mine revolve around cars I was either to stupid to buy or didnt have the funds for. Also, cars I sold waaaaaay too soon.
----1. I couldnt raise the funds for my cousins 1965 427 Cobra. Did I say it was serial #3003. I like to forget that part as well as the price ($5500). It was 1969 after all.
----2. I couldnt raise the money to buy one of the three GT40s that actually raced at LeMans. My boss found it and would have let me have it for $30,000 in 1976 with the resto almost done. My offer of $3,000 (which I would have had to borrow) wasnt accepted!
----3. Almost didnt marry Jan, my long suffering wife, as she has kindly kept me alive for the last 35 or so years so I could pull all these bonehead moves.
----4. Painted my 1969 Monaco Orange/black leather L88 Corvette roadster with 3,000 original miles Black.
----5. Selling my now black L88 roadster for $6,500 to Jerome Shinkay!
----There are so many more, but I have to stop. Really, I have to........Bill S
----Merry Christmas to all!!!!!
