I almost bought an old Vette once, a 1958. Problem was it just had a little 283 engine (the original one) and it needed some paint. three hundred bucks just seemed like too much at the time for what it was. I was 17. Yes, I still do kick myself all the time for that. On the bright side, I did buy a “built” 427 for my ‘68 Camaro instead. Had a lot of fun with that.

I once had a 1973 Ford LTD with a 429 motor. It was a lot of fun--you could be going 100 mph and it felt like you were going 45--but it was a gasoline slurper.
