Cars That Got Away

one of the cars I missed on was a Blue/Blue/Blue leather 2dr 70? imperial. It was as big as an aircraft carrier, and super straight. It waa about 15yo, & had been parked in a wood single car garage, that was close to falling down around it. I caught a slight glimpse of it one day, when I was driving down the alley. I asked the owner what he wanted for it, and we agreed on like $500. When I came by the next day, he wanted $100 more, so I said I'd come back the next day with like $600. You guessed it, next day he wanted another hun, so I told him to stick it.
Another car I missed on was a blue 64 dart gt convertible. Beautiful car, parked on the street in front of a fairly big, old apt bldg. I drove by it on the way to work for like 5yrs. And then one day it was gone, and didn't reappear for several more years. It was starting to look a little worse for wear, and so I started to leave notes on it asking if it was for sale. Never got a call. It disappeared again, and I drove around the neighborhood looking for it. I found it parked in the alley behind the apt bldg, and I got out to look it over more closely, and it was full of beer bottles, & cans like a foot deep. I gave it one more try, leaving a note begging for him to sell it to me before it's too late, but I never got the call. If I ever get a 64 dart gt convertible, I'd paint it and trim it just like that one. Prettiest one I've ever seen.
