1968 Barracuda? $60,000? wtf?

I am a commercial plumber, no millionaire, too. I just can't see that kind of money into a car- if I can't use it, enjoy it, and constantly have to worry about it, I don't want or need it. Maybe I'll never be in the 'ballpark' of that version of musclecar, but I'd rather have a clone or lower car. Kinda like an old high school girlfriend- we were younger, inexperienced, had more in common, et cetera. Over time, you grow apart and break up. Moving forward a decade or two, you have fond memories of that time and get a chance to meet up with an old flame. You do it and the reasons why you two aren't together becomes readily apparent in short order (not to mention time isn't kind to some folks). I approach cars the same way-if it's too far gone, I don't want to bother with it and it will go. After all, if it was so important from the onset of the relationship, why did it become a turd? BTW, I am married and have two daughters, so I am able to muster romance from somewhere DEEP inside me
