Wanna buy my first car for 12x what I paid for mine?

College friend/roommate had a '79 Accord hatch 5-speed that was easily the nicest car anyone in our group was driving, since it was only a few years old.  The rest of us drove early-70's Corollas, Monte Carlos, Novas, and Mazda RX-2's.   I know he used up a clutch while he had it, then got an Isuzu Impulse Turbo after graduation, which I'm guessing he didn't keep long.  I'm a little surprised he didn't get a BiTurbo, but maybe fortune smiled upon him.    I can't imagine there's many going for north of 20k.

Our next-door neighbor had that car but in that minty green.

Why buy that one when this one is a few thousand more.

Edit: forgot a pic

I saw that, too.

Just had an idea for a car collection: unusual stretch conversions. Picture this, stretch PT Cruisers, etc. Is a long-wheelbase Marathon too common or perfect for this? 

Although I’m sure it’s already out there somewhere. 

My first car was a 1966 VW bus. Split window. I bought it for $25.

I'd happily pay $25,000 for it now.
