Your favorite old car/truck that you regret selling!

All of these plus all the 67-68 Camaros I collected along with 67-72 C10s that I can't find pictures of

It was the 60's, so photos are sparse and it would take an act of my congress to dig them up from archives, but like others, there are several:

- The 1928 Ford Model A Roadster pickup.

- The 1928 Ford Model A Roaster (rumble seat and all, paid $25)

- The 40 Chev panel

- The 42 Plymouth panel

- The 48 Merc coup

- The 41 Chev sedan

- The 57 1/2 ton step side

- The 69 1/2 ton step side

- The 71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring

- 67 VW Square Back

If in the condition in which I had them, their sale would make an amazing contribution to my retirement.

I don't have any pictures as it was before (1970s) everyone carried a cell phone/camera. It was my very first car, a 1965 Chevy Impala SS 396 with a Powerglide. I bought it from my brother-in-law's dad for $350 in cash along with a rebuilt TH400 transmission. Back then, a bench job TH400 was around $250-300. I've regretted that decision for a very long time.

I wish I had all mine back. Especially the first three, a 67 GTO, 69 Chevelle SS with a 4 speed, and a 70 440 Cuda.

I do have another Chevelle SS with a 4 speed that I bought in 95 for $3450 though.

My 68 bullit car. Bought it from my cousin in 75 for 1500 bucks. Picture was taking right after the wheels were stolen. 302 4sp gt. I still dream about the sound it made.

One of if not THE best looking Stangs they built.

A couple I miss - my massive 1984 Lincoln Town car. It had way more problems than I could solve (it used Ford's first attempt at TBI injection - was every bit was problematic as my Suburban is now), suspension bushings were failing, interior door panels and such were completely falling apart and completely unavailable at the time. It was straight and rust free hpwever - just the typical 1980s Ford clearcoat failure. When it ran it was the most comfortable thing I'd ever been in except for the other one I miss which technically was only "mine" informally.

My father had a 1969 Sedan deVille that he told me I could fix up, but he neglected it for so long it was past saving with any resources I had (including the roof to rear deck seam completely rusted away and therefore the whole interior was trashed from water/rust/mold). But when it had been running it was a luxury yacht on wheels - black and chrome, the big Caddy 500 engine, looked like something straight out of a mobster film only with no bullet holes.

Looking for something else and came across this (home sweet home, just eastish of Soap Lake, Washington, somewhere around 1954 to 1957.

2nd favorite. 1978-1982. Would probably still have it, but the 2nd kid kinda changed things.

There are a few I wish I had back, for different reasons. The one I wish I had back the most, and regretting selling the day after I sold it, was my '00 Trans Am WS6. It was lowered 1.5", door handles shaved, had the entire engine balanced and blueprinted, with a healthy cam, and line locks added. Had SLP cold air intake (a real one, using the snorkels in the hood, with an SLP Loud Mouth exhaust (with manual cutouts) as well. ONLY car I've ever owned that I was not even pulled over by the cops in. It was fast, and I knew it, and therefor respected it.

i have a couple... 75 long bed 3/4. that truck use to be a sky blue color and then my dad got it repainted yellow. but it just was a rust bucket.. i regret it but at the time i had no funds and my ex and i needed a water heater. what i really wanted to get was the 1979 3+3 crew cab camper special, we used on family vacations almost everywhere.. but mostly Oregon. man it was a 454 stick. gold with a white strip in the middle.. really loved that truck.
and the latest car that i got rid of was my moms Datsun 1970 1200.. i remember being dropped off in the Chevy blue truck and picked up in the Datsun all the way from kindergarten to 5/6th grade.

1991 V3500, former USAF truck, I was the first civilian owner in 2002. Fresh paint and lift with a pretty mint interior. I truly loved this truck but the 4l80e died and then the a/c quit, with a baby and a toddler we needed something absolutely dependable so I sold it.

About 5 years ago I got the itch to get it back, I found it in Tn. Mechanically, the truck was trashed, the dash wiring looks like a tumbleweed hanging out of the instrument cluster area and it was cut down to a short bed. Absolutely heartbreaking.

want to paint my 84 Sierra in Air Force blue. I have an old Force 4 LP 6000 light bar with amber lenses that would go on the roof as well. I served in the Air Force in the mid 80's so love these trucks when they served too.

This was 1 one of my favorites. 65 Suburban Carryall, with the Z62 Chrome option. I was 3rd owner. My dad bought it in Scottsdale on his mail route in 1976. I bought it from him in 1993. It's now in Tucson in primer that I put on it long after this photo was taken, and lowered. It came from the factory with a 292 L6, and a Power glide. I ended up putting a complete 283 from a 63 Biscayne in it, and a friend installed a TH350, and a 72 tilt column. I switched to front disc brakes from Master Power Brakes, and added GM Rally wheels which I painted the same green as the body. My 2nd favorite was a 65 Chevy II Nova 4 door sedan, all original. As with the burb, I was 3rd owner. It was bought new in Benson, Az at Benson Auto Company on 2-25-65. Sold it to a guy from North Las Vegas in 2014 to pay rent and bills. It had a 194cuin 6, and 3 on the tree. The Nova was just like the one in the add, same color, but had the little poverty caps like the blue one.

We beat those trucks and Box van's on the flight line but they took it. USAF Ret. MSgt
