Cars you regret selling

[AKguy1985]

I wish my uncle hadn't sold his 71 roadrunner. It was a 383 with a Hurst 4 speed. Some guy was randomly driving down the road and saw the rear end of it underneath the cedar tree it was under. Guy stopped and offered my uncle $2,000 for it and he took it. So if anyone knows Jerry layman he may still have it. Hope it went to a good home.

1996 Impala SS. Murdered out. Full Hotchkis suspension, Baer brake upgrade. I hated to sell it, it was a head turner. A guy drove up from Dallas with a handfull of $100 bills and I did the right thing and took them.

Two vehicles I most likely will not get rid of.

The first is a 1976 Ford Courier that I keep at our place in New Mexico. Looks rough, but runs great and the grand kids love learning to drive a stick shift and cruising up & down the back roads. Also very handy for bouncing around the place. Has done a bunch of work. Also, RockAuto still has many parts available for the old pickup.

The second is a 1993 Ford Ranger. Purchased from my Neighbor 4 years ago with 112,000 miles on it. Runs great and we use it for a daily driver to keep miles off our other vehicles. The A/C compressor went out a while back. I need to replace that, but otherwise in great mechanical condition.

These older vehicles are lot easier to maintain and work on.

There have been plenty including my first car a 69 Camaro. This was the latest I sold a couple months ago that hurt bad just days after it left. Guess not everything I own is for sale at the right price.

Many of those I had were 1 owner and I was the second owner.
Many of them were show room clean.
I was a fool.. But I did drive them and then sold them when I was pulled over and asked if they were for sale.

I sold my 1947 Dodge truck when I was 19 or 20 and I have it back now.
NOT FOR SALE. I have been offered over $35,000 for it.. Not for sale.

Many of the cars in the list I have were purchased way cheap. Most expensive one was $900

A fool and his cool cars are soon parted.

I regret selling my 1969 Chevelle SS 396 4 Speed, it was an L88 Option, Butternut Yellow with Black Vinyl Roof, Black Interior. An absolutely beautiful, looking, sounding and running car. I bought it brand new from Davis-Child Chevrolet in Hutchinson Kansas in July of 1969. I paid $3,600 for it. Sold it in 1972. What an idiot I was. I will always miss that car and wish I could have it back.

The same years I owned the Chevelle SS I also owned a 1964 Impala SS 409 4 speed, Black with Red interior and very fast, very very fast. It was actually faster than the SS Chevelle. I had an accident that totaled the 409 and was lucky to survive. I was wild and crazy during those times. Now I'm just crazy, not wild.

I also regret selling a couple of others as well; my '55 Chevy Belair 2 door Post and a 1944 War Year Ford Pickup. The pickup had a vin tag that was stamped Dept of U.S. Navy. I owed the '55 the start of my Junior year in HS. A really sweet ride that never ever gave me any problems. Started every day and always brought me home.

The war year Ford pickup was a cool ride. Around 71/72 I found it driving down the alleys of Hutch looking for old pickup trucks. Hell of a find, I paid 40 bucks for it. Put a new battery in it and drove it around town for about 2 1/2 years. My dad sold it while I was out of country doing the things that scare the sh*+ out of most people.

Nowadays, we have a nice Caddy SRX, a Silverado, and a Classic Formula F233 (one of the first Cigarettes). I still want that SS 396 back.
