If you only knew how many times that thought has crossed my mind in the dozens of times I have looked at the ad. Wish someone would buy it and it would just disappear so it can become a distant memory! What hurts even more (not that I could have afforded it then either) is when I was 16 (I'm 41 now) I saw the exact same thing sitting on a muscle car lot on South Broadway for $10k
As for the 308 GTB one hell of a sexy car especially since you can get a good driver for around 20K these days but something about a 6 cyl built buy Fiat that just doesn't get me going. To bad you couldn't squeeze a Testarossa motor in there.

One of the biggest regrets I have ever has was selling the 1970 plum crazy purple Challenger 440 six pack RT/SE I had when I was 16. I bought the car in cherry condition for $1900 and the only thing it needed was a new power steering pump. A year later I though I made out like a bandit when I sold the car for $6500. Make me cry to think that that car today is worth at least $50k!
