Re: Cars you DID NOT BUY.
I guess I'll add my two cents;
1980-ish Carlisle: There was an Ivy Green (no stripes) 1966 GT350 that I should have bought; asking price $8,000. Did not have original 289 and had some bubbles (very small but, I suspected rust) on top of the rear fenders by the window. I LOVE the Shelby Mustangs and, regardless of what it would be worth today, I kick myself in the arse for passing on that car.
May have been the same visit to Carlisle, I missed out on a 1969 Palladium Silver RAIV GTO Judge. The car was a POCI national champion and I think the owner was asking $10,000. I had $8k with me and made the offer; the owner looked me over and I think, had I been older, he might have sold it to me. In hindsight I guess I am glad I didn't get that car because I lived at home, no garage and my parents lived a block from the beach. I am sure the salt air would have ruined that car.
