I bought a new 2000 SS Camaro. Owned it for 3 years, and took it straight to the track when I got it. It ran high 13’s consistently. Had to buy a helmet after it blew through 14’s on the first pass. 😜

i sold my 1969 roadrunner 440 pistol grip 4 speed it was fast for a big $800 in 1980
I had an upholstery shop doing work on my GTO and there was a carb fire while it was there that damaged the paint on the hood. I did not feel like getting the hood repainted so i sold it as is for $2500.00. and bought a new Camaro. The GTO is highly collectable now, the Camaro not so much.

Only 2...
I guess they'd be the two shit boxes from when I was a kid.

64.5 K code Mustang. Got it running when I was 14, drove it once. Sold it when I was 15 to help my parents out. Would have loved to finish that one.

My first 1950 pickup. Swapped in a 5.0 and a T5. Full hick death trap, like a 17yo kid would build. 30 years later, and a lot of learning, I could finally make that one nice.

Had some "nice" cars, but those two I miss...

My 1st car was a 1971 Chevelle SS 396, turbo 400. I paid 2k for it, all original with 96k on it, bone stock other than a repaint (silver with black SS stripes). It was just an old car at the time. I put 40k miles on it, never left me stranded, wish I had some more pics of it. Traded it in on a 1978 Z28 Camaro, got my 2k back.

My 69 Dart GTS. I could shoot myself for selling it but was going through a very rough financial time about 25 years ago.

Dad special ordered it from the local Dodge dealer. Was passed on down to me. Only had 38K miles when I got it in 1987. Sold it in 1999 and it had 40K miles.

Dumb, dumb, dumb!!!! Gawd I wish I had that Dart back!!

My 68 Firebird with a 428 with wenzler heads and a Nash 5 speed. That car humbled a lot of loud mouths. It would run low 10.5s in the dead sweaty asshole of Orlando summers all the time, then drive to work every morning.

1. 65 Chevy II with 283/power glide I bought from a little old lady in small town TN in 77 that was completely original.
2. 67 Chevelle SS project car that I bought from a guy in Redondo Beach in 81 that was going through divorce.
3. 68 Camaro RS Completely original.
4. My biggest mistake was my 85 Yamaha RD500...KICK MYSELF IN THE ASS EVERY DAY FOR THAT ONE!

How about already regretting a car Im going to sell this week…. My 1994 Camaro track car, only 134 produced. I replaced it with a 911. But beyond that I had dozens of cars I wish I had back but I look at it with the perspective of if I did not sell them I would not have bought other ones to experience and make memories.

I had a 73 240Z in high school. Definitely wish I had that car now. I have pictures stashed somewhere. Also had a 68 Chrystler Newport. Was my first car. Bought it when I was 15. Would be cool to have, but nothing like the Z.

93 Fox body I bought new from Magic Ford in Valencia. Wish I still had the car watching the values go up on these Fox body's. Fun car and over the years I installed a Paxton SN93 supercharger, gears, full exhaust etc. Ironically I used to get all my parts through Jim @bonesfab when he was at Hawaii racing in the 90s. The car was tired when I sold it along with the upper torque boxes ripping out of the uni body.

Next is a 2004 C5 Z06 that I still own. Car is absolutely mint as new never been driven in the rain or even a car wash and only has 33k mi on the clock. Only mods are cold air intake, long tube headers/xpipe and a tune. A blast to drive. I don't plan on ever selling this one and hoping in the future it will increase in value. I have seen these Z06's creeping up recently and not many left out there that are not abused and trashed.
