Mopars you should have purchased

Around 1977 looked at a '70 Dart Swinger, 318, factory 3 spd manual on the floor, dark blue no vinyl top, black bench interior, 60,000 miles. Mint condition, perfect inside and out, ran perfect. Asking $700. I had $400 but my parents refused to give me the rest. It was sold the next day. I still bum about that to this day. Sucks to grow up in a poor family.

A year later looked at a '69 Road Runner, base model two door post, 100,000 miles, 383 4 spd, buckets no console, light beige with tan interior, very straight and rust free except behind the rear wheels the bottom 6 inches of metal was missing from rust on both sides. Asking $400 and it fired right up and ran flawlessly. I had the money but would not be able to get the car tagged with the missing metal behind the rear wheels and I had no clue how to get it fixed at the time so I passed. Never seen another one like it since.

Bought my '69 Barracuda in 1979 from the original owner so I didn't miss that one! Got it for $1,000 with 49,000 original miles.
