Default Cars I did not buy...

Way back when I fell in love with Pontiac GTOs especially 66's, I bought my first and only GTO in 1988 which was a 1966 post coupe. I was only 24 years old and didn't know anything about cars. I just had to buy that 66 because I love the look of it WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR THAT IS ! After I bought the car for 5500$ cad with a new cheap paint job all over bondo I then looked under the car and realised the floors and frame were very rusty ! What a dummy I was! The car came from salty NY state. Anyway here are the cars I shoulda,coulda and woulda bought if only... Remember that is back in 88 and early 90's : 1974 SD TA for 2500$ good shape too! 1971 GTO JUDGE 455HO for 7500$,1968 GTO RA Solar red with 31 heads in need of total restoration for 1500$ but what a rare car ! 1972 TA 455HO for 3500$ good shape too!
1966 GTO convertible tripower with a dented in fender (accidented) 3000$...
If only I had a time machine !!! Somebody hit me with a 455 crank on the back of the head !!! By the way the seller of my 66 GTO told me the car had a 400 in it , later I found out it was an anemic and very tired 75 350 but three years later I acquired more knowledge and found a 66 gto 4 barrel WT 389 for 400$ needed rebuild of course. I no longer have the car but still am looking for another GTO or Transam project.
