Cars you DID NOT BUY.

[JRSully]

That's easy, the big 3 that will be with me till the day I die; All early to mid 80's, early 90's or so. All in the mid $3k range

1. 69 RS JL8 Z, triple green, loaded, wanted $3500 for it, missed it by a few hours and heard it's in the Midwest somewhere, still have some pics of it
2. Untouched 440 Sixpack Cuda 4spd, every option including leather interior, Hemi orange, white top/gut, Had argent shaker too. bought by guy who went to Nam, didn't come back. Helped his father push it out of the garage, blow the dust off it and pour some gas down the center carb, fired right up. Maybe had 15k mileage on it, Begged Dad for $3k, told me I was an idiot and enjoy the hammered Escort your driving, Called back 2 days later, gone
3. Last, but not least, 70 Stage 1 4spd Conv, 4 miles from my house. just got my license and the guy let me take it on a half hr cruise! Car could rip a house off its foundation. Back to Dad for another $3k, same answer. next guy who called on it bought it, was at NMCN a few years back and the owner truly enjoyed the story of how he got the car via my misfortune!

Did get lucky on a few though... It was a lot of fun chasing these cars back then, that's for sure!
