It’s kind of tragic to think about all of those “wish I had”, huh? I’m still kicking myself for not buying a straight, non-running, low miles '63 split window Corvette back in a 1971; for 1100 dollars. The motor wasn’t blown or anything; it had just been parked in the backyard for several years with a dead battery, gunked up carburetor, and so on.
Had a 327, 4 speed manual, and the right color - red on red.
