What cars did you pass on buying in the 60s/70s because they cost too much

In one of the many mistakes of my misspent youth I passed on a REAL ‘70 Superbird in 1978. Back in the day of newsprint ads a guy was selling a Superbird about 10 miles from my house. I called him and agreed on a time to meet and when I got there I decided it must be a POS because it was parked in a detached garage that looked like it was about to fall down any second. Then the guy opened up the garage door and backed out what was one of the most beautiful original Superbirds I’ve ever seen to this day. It was Sublime green with a white split bench interior, pistol grip 4 speed with a 440 4 bbl.
