Wondering the worst decision you have made in the past..I parted out a 68 and 69 chevelle ss 396 and an original paint and equipment 70 roadrunner in the early 80's Passed on what i believe was a gen 1 hemi barracuda! no engine or trans..Hope i have the right forum.

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....

Marrying my Ex, wasnt a buying or selling decision but it sure cost me.

worst: buying a diamond for the ex-wife 25 years ago....

best: while living in a 10' wide trailer and rolling pennies and spending the 'house' money to buy my ZL-1...which eventually helped lead to my divorce...haha...

..and actually helped me pay for my divorce when I sold it too!!!

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.

Having almost $100G into the restoration of a '72 T/A...Oh, wait, I'm not even finished yet.

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".
