Post Up pic's of "The One That Got Away"

Thanks, when I posted on here about this it got me thinking and I tracked it down yesterday and sent Ross a message......maybe I can buy it back for a few thousand

 

I miss my coupe, The only thing my father and I really spent any time together on. But shit happens and I am now looking forward to build cars with my kids.

 

Not a HAMB car but I wish I had my 67 GTO convertible back. Bought in June of 1979 for $1100.

The one I regret not being able to get was a perfect 56 Chevy in 1977. Car was like new. Plastic bubble seat covers. They wanted $1500. I didn't have $1500 at 15.

 

The 54' was a lot of fun but had an offer I couldn't refuse and is now in Japan.



This 50' Ford was just bad voodoo.



Nobody in the family liked this 30 very much with no doors.



But if I had my way, I'd take them all back.

 

sorry no pictures but ..i sold my american 57 ponch i built when i was 18 $4000...all stock resto....sold it to a guy in his 60's...and he customized it w/everything imaginable even a six carb set up and disks....i can buy it back today $45,000.not the same car tho

 

Yep I remember that ride!....Whats jay up to?

 

Man that is nice.

 

Jay is building, and restoring CB Honda's. He's making Cafe Racers out of them, and sold one to Jason Lee (My Name is Earl) Here's Jay's web site. www.lossaengineering.com

 

59 Coupe de Ville bought it for $800 in 2003. Sold it for $2800 in 04. Only had about $1200 total into it. If anyone bought one out of Tucson around 04 let me know, I miss her.

Later found out the guy I sold it to flips em, not a resto project like he said.

 

I really wish I still had every car I ever owned.

 

Sold this in 1974 to buy some land. $4800
Poor quality of the pic. is due to converting from a slide

 

Never saw that coupe before. all of em

 

I almost "missed" this one There are a couple of interested people that keep bugging but I'm trying to hold on to it!

 

The first '49 Merc. I chopped circa 1957. ( sold it for $750, that was a lot of money in '57)

 

Hey Bro, I know you!

I mean, um, you live right down the street from my parents.

I used to live in an apartment on "C" and I would slow down and drool every time I drove past your pad and the car was out front.

 

Yea, that's me. I really miss that car. Damit!!!!

 

very nice!!!

 

Heres mine, my 63 Impala SS....off to Japan! Should of kept her....

 

Should'a kept it, The guy I sold it to totalled it.

 

It's still being enjoyed

 

Damn. Even I have remorse for you selling the merc. I love(d) the chop on that thing!

 

I'm really missing my 1960 F100, It had a 4spd and 223, shortbox, 2wd, you can see a picture of it if you check out my profile. I ended up selling it to the scrap man due to lack of money to fix it's numerous cancer spots. I have since replaced it with a 1957 F100 2wd, shortbox, big window, that is in the process of getting a 394 Olds Sky Rocket, and TH400 bolted up as we speak. I would trade this truck, to have the '60 back though... it was my first truck

 

In Japan
In Sweden

I'm noticing a pattern

 

I hope to find out where my car went, and that's the thing I fear the most, other than "oh that became a parts car."

 

Hers 2 of my favorites
This pic was in February of 1982.
I had just finished the Roadster and had just sold the 5 window.
Sold the Roadster in 2000 for medical reasons

 

Anybody who knows me has heard me whine about getting rid of my Impala!!!

 

The very stright 1936 Plymouth Coupe I had back in 1963. It ran a 292 Y-Block, built Merc-O-Matic, 4-11 Possi rear. Really a fun car!

 

Here is one of my dads that got away... To this day he still talks about this one. A "1934 Buick Victoria" Don't see this one often!

 

I'd give my eye teeth to have these 3 back...

1982, 1997, 2003....puke.

 

I miss my old Hemi Coupe. Like Clark, I could build another for a quarter of what it would cost to buy it back, but it would not be the same.
