I thought it might not be a bad idea for a thread.

Over the last 15 years, I have made some mistakes that I wish I could have back.  I got rid of my mint green Stoner Junior about 7 eyars ago and I wish I had kept it.  It was stunning.  This is only one example.  I have others.

Anyone else?Huh?

I regret selling my 1967 Chevelle Convertable, what a nice car after i restored it and was tooling around Jacksonville Fla with it, even went to a few car shows with it and won 2nd place at the Midwest Chevelle Regionals in Wichata Kansas back in 1992. God i miss that car.

Did you get much for her? Was it a sale or trade?

Sold a real 1969 Trans Am back in the late 80's...
Don't think I'll get an opportunity to replace it since they have escalated in price ! ! !

bought my first car, a 1969 camaro for 500.00 in 1981 when I was 15, rebuilt it, painted, reupholstered it etc, think I sold it for 1500 4 years later in college, i bet they fetch a little bit more than that today.  I was lucky as my age group, the muscle cars were hand me downs from parents, so tons of vintage chevelle's, nova's, mopars, camaro's firebirds etc in California the time me and my friends were learning to drive.

a 1973 formula firebird with the ram air hood it had the endura rubber front end two  round headlights very different from the smokey and the bandit front end. Never realized how rare the car was till i looked at a thrashed 73 t/a, was a pile of junk and the guy wanted 3000 bucks for it. I sold my nice 73 firebird for 800 bucks was young and dumb, have always regreted it. Like Mike said theese old cars have skyrocketed in price since the late 90's.
