Sometimes I see cars for sale that are selling for astronomical prices that I could have bought for prices that may have been expensive at the time but were still affordable. Some cars I looked at but passed on are:

1970 Plymouth super bird 440-6-could have bought in 1980 for $2500...now sells for $150k
1963 Maserati 3500 - could have bought it for $5500 in 1984. Now sell for $150k+
1969 Lamborghini Islero -could have bought in 1986 for $10k...now $200k
1973 Maserati Bora-could have bought in 1988 for $20k...now $150k+
1969 Porsche 911S -could have bought in 1990 for around $10k...now pushing $100k
1964 Porsche 356-could have bought in 2004 for $15k..now $30k+

These are just some of the actual cars I looked at and passed on...what's your story?
