What did you miss out on?

My first year out of highschool went to a car show with my young bride.

For sale at the show was a completely restored 1970 road runner, ev2 hemi orange, 440- 6 , 4 speed, dana-60, all original parts, the only thing deviated from stock was the color.
It was originally yellow.
The guy was crippled due to diabetes and lost his legs, he had to sell and was desperate for the money.

All he wanted was $10-k, yep, $10-k.
Unfortunately I did not have the money, and my new wife had no idea of the gold mine that was laid before us so she have me the first NO!!!

That was a word I heard many more times throughout my marriage ha,ha.

Right next to that car was a 1970 challenger, hemi orange,white stripe r/t with a 340-6 pack and tons of chrome in the engine compt.
it had been featured in Mopar action and was for sale for $20-k.
it was perfect as well, but I wanted the runner worse.
I would have bought them both if I had the cash, but I was recently married right out of highschool and was living pay to pay.
