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

I bet a lot of members here were st being born n the 70s!!!
In the 60s, $100 was a LOT of money. Everything is relative.
An older kid took me for a quick ride in his '64 409 4 sped Impala SS back about '62 or 3. I was like 14,15. WOW it pinned your *** in that bucket seat. Then couple years later I saw it on the Chevy dealer's used lot. Then it was gone. I wanted that BAD!! I heard a Black guy bought it cheap and blew the motor a week later!!
My initial start in old Mopars was about '84 and I was like 36. They were everywhere and I bought, fixed, drove, parted, restored the sold the chit out of them!!! Fun back then. Not too much anymore!!

Yeah, I'm 22 and the local Buick dealer has a '69 'Cuda fastback with a 383 and a 4-spd that has had the dogshit run out of it. Wanted $900, I was stuck on $600. I lost, car was sold, went up to Billings MT and the last I heard the 383 lasted one more run and then puked its guts out.
