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

Spring 1977 (I was a junior in high school)
1970 Challenger R/T, triple black with gator grain top, 383/slap stick, rallye dash. Car was near perfect and ran great. $1,500. Dad nixed the deal because I already had a car.
1969 Charger 383/4sp. This car was ROUGH. It had dents in all four corners, bald tires, bad interior, BUT it had a big block and a four speed. Took it for a test drive. I couldn't get it into 3 and 4, speedometer didn't work, guy had wired in a funky momentary switch for NSS, AND the brakes hardly worked. At $400 it was at least $800 overpriced...
The only one I regret:
1962 300 Sport, but this one was UNIQUE. Not sure if it had a 383 or 413 (single four barrel), BUT it had the 300H interior (150 speedo, four buckets with a full console). The car also needed NOTHING. The downside for me was the salmon colored body. Just couldn't do it, BUT the asking price was $600...
