"i should have jumped on that when i had the chance"

[randy s]

i think we've all run across vehicles that we kick ourselves in the butt for not having bought em' when we had the chance and snoozed . any one car or truck that you wished you'd picked up when you could and didn't and prolly won't come across again? mine was a old ford 4 dr. crew cab 4x4 f-250 short bed with a factory 427 4bbl carb and c-6 trans. that was a special order for the alaskan pipeline gig. i can't remember how much it was but it wasn't that much as i recall. that would have been cool to have but i snoozed. anyone else got a story?

Around 1978-1981 you could buy a 1972 Pantera,1970 Chevelle LS6,1970 Boss 302 mustang, OH and lets not forget the 1970 Hemi cuda 4 speed for around 3-6 grand nobody wanted them what was I thinking? Hell If I would have I could have retired by now just selling them.

oh yes!!!! several but one that i always kick myself about is a mustang. i dig all cars and hot rods. i always wanted a older mustang and i saw this older guy for years driving around a town i was working in (chino). then, one day i saw it for sale. i stopped and took some pictures so i can get some financing. i spoke to the person that was selling it and they told me the guy had passed away. the guy bought it new and it had everything on it you could ever order (cal package, rally package, sport package, pony interior. i missed it by one day, thanks to my bank. and it was not red, it was orange factory

Mine was a 1969 Camaro SS/RS, all original. Yellow with black stripes, black interior. It was a few years ago when I was 18, living in VA, tried to talk my Dad into it for $12500, almost did. We both regret it now.

Wow theres 2 of us!. I really miss Thumper! Rode it long distance one time 400 miles. You needed to put your smokes in your pocket upsidedown or all the tabaco would fall out. Shure was great to spot a shortcut and wait along the highway for the beamers and harleys to catch up though. Plus even the nastiest Hells Angels thought it was cool.

69' Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 ram-air convertible. $2100.00 on a used car lot in Anaheim back in 1979. I guess they only made a fist full of them.

Saw the exact same thing go for $80k on Barrett Jackson. Shoulda' coulda' woulda'
