Biggest Missed Opportunity (Mopar)
Around 1976 or so I decided to check on a Superbird that had been sitting for 3 or 4 years beside a small garage in a small town. I walked in and startled a bunch of long-haired dopers who were passing a joint around. Just about freaked me out also as I hadn't been around too many people like that but I decided while I was there I'd ask about the car. Turns out they had put a motor in the car and the owner never returned to pay the bill and retreive the car. The car originally had a 440 in it but they had installed a 383. The owner of the garage told me he would sell me the car for $100 "but I'm not giving you a bill of sale or any paperwork with it." When he told me that I was afraid to buy it. I figured the cops had to be watching that bunch of dopers and if I tried to pull that bright yellow car out of there on a chain (nobody I knew had a trailer back then) and didn't have some sort of paperwork they would throw me in jail and forget about me.
The car was gone a week later. :angry7:
Don't get me started on the ones I OWNED then sold!
