how could you even consider a boring new challenger for twice the price?

If it's any consolation, I missed out on a '75 in much the same way. Something about it caused me to hesitate and in the interim, another buyer showed up and paid full asking price. So, I've learned to adopt the S.G.A. (Sour Grapes Approach). Works like this:

"Yeah; wasn't meant to be. I just KNEW the missing spare tire assembly, funny noise in the engine, and swervy steering were bad news. And the broken front clip! That would've been $350 and a weekend right there!"

Never fear; for every driver's seat is a rear end meant to sit in it.
