How many members had this ooportunuty but missed it?

I was 14 and not yet driving... besides back then I did not like the looks of these AT ALL - my preference was the Corvette, Mustang, Cougar and Camaro.

You guys certainly had more excitement than most.
I had a boring job as a medic.

Missed out on bunches. Remember so well stopping by a dealer in 1973 that had a used Super Bird on the lot. Couldn’t move it and said he’d take $1400 for it. Might as well have been $144,000 because I couldn’t afford it. My Dad had a 1964 Mercury Marauder 4door hardtop with a 427. Got rid of it the week after I got my drivers license. Really wish I had both of them today!

The money they get for some of these cars is crazy.

A buddy had a 69 Shelby sold it for $3500 I was there when he sold it but nobody had much money.

In high school I wanted an AMC Javelin but never got one. After I graduated college in 1978 I bought a new 1979 Firebird Formula for $7000.

When I was six we had this tasty little nugget…it was 5k but it has wood grain. That makes it premium.

Not if you use it right.

So if they invent time travel before we get our Mavericks will you go forward to pick it up or take your down payment back in time and make a million dollars?
