Hope i have the right forum. [/ QUOTE ] 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....

Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!
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!!!

Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!
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.

Re: Worst buying or selling decision!!
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".
