Deals you've missed because you just didn't have the money.

A Wild Plum, 304 4 bbl, 4 speed '72 Javelin for $300. Pop and I just started the restoration shop and I put what was my life savings into the shop.

A '69 AMX, 390, auto, for $1500.

Pop and a mechanic at one of the trucking companies he worked for were going in on a package deal of a '57 392 powered Chrysler and a '67 Hemi powered Coronet for a grand. The guy wouldn't sell either individually. Took a couple of weeks for either to get around the $500 each to get the cars. The mechanic wanted the Chrysler, Pop was gonna get the Coronet. As they were driving to the guy's house to buy the cars, both of them were loaded on a rollback going to the other way.

A friend on another forum gave me first offer of refusal on a '71 Challenger convertible, A66 car. I had the money, but couldn't justify spending it on a car at the moment.
