Rare Cars that you didn't buy
There was a recession on and the only job I had was working at a car lot for what ever they had for me to do. They had a 67 GTX w/426 Himi/4 spd. that they had sold 3 times but had been returned because the insurance companies had refused to cover. I was really hot for the car and the manager told me one day that if I could come up with $500 I could buy it but with no returns. I didn't have the money and begged for loans. No sale.
Several years later I ran across a 39 Chevy PU on a farm. I had the money but made the mistake of asking my wife. She said NO!...... The farmer told me he would take the battery out of his tractor and let me drive it before I bought it. I waited about a month and decided I was going to go get it anyway. When I got there, he said he had sold it 3 days before. Price? $800. Surface rust only and the glass had started to turn white.
