I’m glad that I don’t have any regrets about Corvettes. It doesn’t bother me a bit. In fact I never even think about that time that I passed up on that 1962 Vette. It had a hardtop and soft top. The interior was good but the engine was all stock. It also needed a paintjob. There was no way that I was going to pay $250 bucks for that, no siree. No really, I never regret that at all. That was back in 1974. I have completely forgotten about it though because it doesn’t bother me.
My favorite of the dozens of cars and trucks I’ve owned….an ermine white ‘66 Chevelle SS convertible with red buckets and consolehp 396 with factory three speed…not four….though I did install a four speed eventually. It was my second car and I was a month shy of nineteen years old. Now I drive my Ford model Ts and 84 Vette. The c4s get a bum rap in the Vette world but they were true super cars of the era with the ability to get a full 1G while cornering. No other production car in the world could do that at the time. The EPA made Chevy put detuned crap engines in them hence the ridicule. One point regarding the first poster….by 1971 the 427 was history, replaced by the 454.

LOL. Are you even a man if you don’t have at least 1 car you should have bought, or shouldn’t have got rid of? There was a 1972 Challenger that I wanted to buy so bad in 1992 but i couldn’t sell my Trans Am in time. A buddy of mine from HS bought it and jacked it way up in the air to put headers on it. Then he got in some trouble and went away for 6 months. That car is STILL in his moms backyard. Saw it last in 2021...
