I can understand your regrets - my first car was a 1964 Porsche 356c - - - young and dumb I traded it in because I wanted a "new" car - - - - if I had that car today it would be worth a small fortune - - - - assuming I hadnt wrecked it
Edward Neal when I picked up the Meteor in Caldwell, ID the guy I bought it from, Bruce, told me he just bought a 356. I don't remember the exact year or if it had letters but he described it as the biggest piece of s#!t he ever bought and thought he was being stupid until he called a friend of his in Cali that restores them. The restorer told Bruce he would pay him double whatever he paid so he was preparing to trailer it down. The numbers? Bruce paid $15k and flipped it for $30k. Not bad!
