Default What cars got away?
Everyone has a story or two of cars that they had a chance to buy, but didn't. Usually due to, shall we say, "Insufficient Funds"! Myself, in 1976 a 1968 Chevy Impala SS 427, black/black, 85,000 miles, for $1200. Also in 1976, a 1970 Cyclone Spoiler 429 for $800, 105,000 miles, painted an ugly pinkish maroon! Lastly, in 1973, a 1969 Shelby GT 500 for the princely sum of $2950! I asked my dad to buy this car, but he said, in all his fatherly opinion, "Yeah, if we had a boat or something to pull with that big engine"!
