Twelve big ones for a Magnum XE.
I guess I should've tried harder back in 1998 to buy that one a local gas station had for sale for $600. Blue outside, blue inside, white top.

Then again, I could've had a super-minty '81 Cordoba T-top. Black with tan interior for $100. Old lady couldn't drive anymore and if I promised to look after the car, $100 took it. My mom said "No". (I was like 17 or 18 at the time)

Crazy to think of all the things I passed on and are now worth a small fortune. I wonder what my old Valiant Brougham would be worth today?
