What NON-Mopar car do you most regret selling?
There is one that I see every once in a while at a car show about 50mi from here. Nice car and refreshing to see
Really? A Sprint Tempest? Cool. I've never seen another one. That sure doesn't mean anything. lol
One other reason I forgot about Daddy got rid of it. He had Sears put air conditioning on it. He was a frugal man......ok......cheap as hell and refused the heavy duty radiator. <rolls eyes> Sure nuff, sittin in traffic, the temp light would pop on. Cut the air off and it would go right back out in a few. Mama didn't play that game when she drive it. That A/C was ON and it was staying on. lol One day when we were coming down the back alley that backed up to the house we lived in, the top tank of the radiator blew clean off and blew the hood open against the safety latch. They HAD to have a radiator put in it then, but once again, Daddy put the cheapest one in we could find. From a junkyard. After that was when he took it and traded it. They never really liked that old car anyway, because right after they bought it the story was it had to go back in for some kinda recall or service bulletin regarding the cylinder head. It had to come off and something was done. I never knew what. But in Daddy's mind, it was never right. So it had a mark against it.
Then, the first time he tried to trade it was again at Lamar Pontiac where he bought it. He actually sat down......all four of us....lol......and ordered a then new 78 Pontiac Ventura four door. When it came in, it was a pretty car. But it had everything on it he didn't order. Radial tires, a V8, air, and power all of it. Like I said, he was cheap. lol Pissed off we got up and went to Riverside Ford down the street and traded it on a used Maverick with a 250. It was loaded up, but the used price Daddy liked. lol That was actually one of the best cars they ever had.
