Right with ya Mike: Passed up an original (and uncut at the time) 1968 SS/A Hemi Dart, with a spare long block for $4500 in 1978. I was bringing home $785 a month in the Air Force. Might as well been a million dollars.
I know what you mean about it "might as well been a million dollars", it seems like the proverbial carrot being dangled, they`re always just out of reach!
