Non-Mopar car you wish you had purchased?

At about age 11 I saw a Pantera for the first time. I waited around for a couple hours for the owner, just so I could get to drool on the car, but no one showed up. I doubt that I could get my 6 ft 7 inches in the seat today, but I would sure like to try, same goes for the GT40 Fords. My brother and I had a discussion about buying a GT40 several years ago, when the 2005/2006 models were still somewhat "affordable", as an investment.

During the late '80's I was working for a Ma & Pa auto parts and machine shop place in Mpls (Riteway Motor Parts on Glenwood Ave, for the local guys here), and I had a chance to buy a black DeTomaso Pantera with a blown head gasket from one of the service garages we delivered to. Seems the owner of the vehicle balked at the price of the repair and walked away from the car, so the garage pulled a lien on it, and once they got the Title they offered it up for sale. I was going to "Da U" at the time and couldn't afford the $2,000 they were asking for it, as-is.....

I still kick myself over that one.
