    Just read the similar topic about Ferrari's and 250GTO with trailer going for $6500. This made me think what was the car that you (or your pal) soo for sale and didn't buy.

    Friend of mine still wonders why he didn't buy a "grand pa's" old Lotus Europa that had dead wheel bearing for £500 two years ago.

    So, please, lets share those moments of "why did I not..."

    Cheers

    Passed on the ex-Cunningham V-12 rear-engine Maserati Birdcage for $2200 with trailer, because that was my entire yearly budget as a student in 1972. Now $2M + if available. Butzi Porsche's 916 for $18,000 in 1978, because I was stoopid!

    1968 Shelby GT-500KR around 1985. The guy was asking $12,500 but would let it go for $10K if we were ready to buy. It was in pretty good shape and all original. However, two broke 16 year olds could not even dream of $10K at the time :(
