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

One Summer’s evening in 1978 I get a phone call from a friend who drives and races a 1969 Hemi Road Runner. He tells me that his dad is tired of seeing his 1968 383 Road Runner sitting in the driveway and he has to get rid of it. He offers it to me for $100 since the motor is a basket case. I decide to pass because I already have 5 cars scattered around my dad’s house and I just can’t drag a non-running car home.
