Thread: calm a savage beast, my secret weapon

i know a guy who bought an old falcon 3 yrs ago for 12k.he got offered 34k for it & sold it .saw it not long ago,had another owner who had bought it for 74k,so dont feel too bad.

i keep thinking about how i should have bought an a9x or slr5000.......years ago no one wanted them

hindsight is a wonderful thing..................as are crystal balls......

cheers

Could have bought a XB Falcon GS Coupe a couple of years back. It was rusty, but it was driveable and registerable and only $1000.

Everyone talked me out of it, and now a hulk of a shell with now running gear, doors, glass dash etc goes for a fortune.

Been kicking myself ever since, but picked up the ex-army 2a this week as some form of consolation.

I learned the hard way. When you see a great deal...... Take it.

I'll sleep soundly tonight. 2 GTR Toranas in the shed, Mine, an awesomely original LJ from a deceased estate and the Kitchen Dragons, an LC, 308 stroker, Supra (can I say that here ?) box and a Salisbury.
Hours of serenity,
Anthony.

When I bought my new Hillman Hunter Royal 660 (a rebadged Hunter GT) in 1971, I could have bought a GTR Torana for about $100 more and the XU1 for about $500 more.

I didn't get the GTR 'cos it had only two doors and we were getting rid of a two-door car - they were/are a pain in the proverbial.

We couldn't afford the extra $500 for the XU1 - that was a lot of money.

I know which would be worth more today. I know, you say "Who keeps a car for that long?" We did. We gave the Hunter away this year - my son got it off me a few years back.
