Grew up in the land of Bobcor Automitive in Beautiful Buffalo NY. Had a very nice AC Ace Bristol, Silver/red. Drove by their showroom one day and had a silver blue 330 GTC for $6000 and a long nose 275 2cam for $1500 more.
They obviously had a buyer for the AC and beat me to death to make a deal. Took the 330 GTC which was a great car with the plan to upgrade to a 275 someday later since I did not have the extra $1500.
Drove it for 5 years and sold it to go to Grad school in 79 and was all excited to get $14,500 for it. Ran into the same car at an Auction at Watkins Glen during the F1 weekend. Car went for $225,000! Still looked great! New owner wanted to see if it really did 155MPH on his way home and encountered a non-moblie bridge abutment. There was not enough of the car or him to even save the shift knob! What a shame!!
Also had a small Ford dealer in the rural areas who was a Shelby Mustang guy. Had about 5 of them and was attemting to downsize and did not like the green/white striped 66 GT 350 Wanted $1800 for it and of course I was cash short!!
How come we are so wise in hindsight??
