During the scare years, my pal Lyle went around buying up all the 'good number' Chevy and Pontiac parts he could, mostly for pennies on the dollars... Together we bought a few big block 4 speed cars (one of them a '66 Impala drop top 396 that his ex still has!) and held onto them through the 80's then sold stuff for at least double what we had in it. I remember Lyle sold a complete Vette 427 to some dude in New York for 4 times what he paid for it--he bought dinner that day!!!!! My best deal was a '67 Firebird drop top, 400 4speed car I paid $900.00 for in '74--used it as a toy, drove it rarely, sold it in '96 for $13,500 with the two big expenses over the years being a new top and a set of tires.... Lyle and I have talked about it many times, why in the heck didn't we buy up 10 times as much stuff as we did!!!!!
