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

I passed on a '69 383 Charger with a Burnt Valve. It was Brown with a Green Fender and Dry Rotted Tires...
Said No to the $1500 they wanted in 1987... if only I knew.
I was a Dumb 17 yr old and I bought a '72 240z that ran instead.
Cool. I was going to chime in that I had my eye on a Z when I was 17 in 1986. That was the car i passed on. LOL! I forget what they wanted for it. $1800 seems to ring a bell.
