Being a car guy as you all are, I’m constantly on eBay, Craigslist, etc, checking cars, parts, etc, etc, etc. So this weekend I find on eBay an 86 GT, black 5 speed, 11k original miles. Car looks right, clean car fax, original tires and wheels come with car, along with books and original keys. A find, right? Bidding is low, in my opinion. 7200. Our Foxes are getting hot, and this looks to be a pristine example with crazy low mileage. It was a no A/C car, with manual windows but still, I thought that number was low. I already have an 87 GT which is my baby. But I tell the wife I’m gonna bid on this 86 because it’s so low and if it doesn’t go much higher, I’m gonna buy it and bring it to Barrett Jackson when we go in June. It should be a 12-15k car there I would think, right. Even with the fees and getting it there, there should still be a few thousand dollars left. So then she starts. You don’t need another car, why is the mileage so low, if you lose our money I’m leaving, etc, etc, etc. Since I have a six year old daughter, I felt guilty about taking the risk. I should put that money in her college fund if I’m gonna throw it at a car I’ve never seen. So wife wins. I don’t bid on car. It sells for $7600. I’m kicking myself today for listening to her. Am I crazy? Or was that a real missed opportunity? I think I know cars and their values? Could I be that out of touch? Could the wife have been right? I think not. Think I just missed an opportunity to put a few thousand dollars in my pocket. Another dream, crushed.
