Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue.
When I was 18 or 19 (around 1993/4), I found a 1974 Barracuda on the lot at the Volunteers of America in Pontiac, MI.
It was a blue with white stripes, white interior 318 slap stik car.
It was also $100. Needed everything sheet metal behind the driver/passenger seat replaced, save the tail light panel.
My dad said no way.
To this day I kick myself for not just buying it... there were fewer Barracuda's made in 1974 than Cuda's, and I actually had the chance to get one cheap.
We've also had 3 1979 Chrysler 300s between us, and I missed out on a super nice one because I was too hung over to go look at it. Missed it by like an hour, from what I remember. They aren't powerhouse moneywise, but they are great driver/cruiser cars and still pretty rare.
