To think I turned one down when I was 16 for $700 because I didn't like the color (lime green).

I was so close to getting a mint Challenger with low mileage before my father pointed out that we live in New England and 300hp w/ oversize rear wheels don't make too much sense. Why did I listen?

The greatest/coolest ebay auction of all time, discussed here:

https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...e+hall+of+fame

Everything else pales in comparison. There will never be an auction as great as this. Wish I'd saved a screen shot.

I grew up with these littering our driveway.

My dad went through Chrysler muscle cars like I go through bicycles.

Basically, that's where the "Gomango" bit comes from.

How many kids grow up with a Superbird and a Daytona?

Forgive me. Yes, that auction is just so UN-COOL ...not sure why I added it , other than it astounded me and was so friggin bizarre. Sorry

I've always known people will try to sell anything, but that takes the cake.

Was I really stupid to let this slip away? I know the answer. I was the only other bidder, as far as I can tell.
NOS Falcon Professional Reynolds 531 frame, under $200.

Ya and the lime green would probably increase the value even more.
