Yeah....you probably don't want to know how valuable those are these days (assuming you don't). I watch, in awe, every one that shows up on BaT.1956 Porsche 356 Speedster. I got it in '76. It started red, but I had it stripped, shaved the side mouldings, and painted it in black urethane. It was a blast, but when I moved from SoCal to northern Nevada I didn't think it the weather would suit it (no windows, just side curtains), so I sold it. If only I had known how much it would be worth these days...
OI bought a 1970 Torino Cobra, 429SCJ with ram air, top loader 4 speed.. around 1980....The car was a basket case. The owner had it stripped down and primed. Everything was out of interior, engine was disassembled,....just a rolling shell with boxes of unlabeled parts. It took 9 months of solid work and $$$ to get back on the road. I drove it until 1990 and had to sell. We were moving and didn't have a place to keep it. Kicking myself ever since.

Beautiful car. I lusted after a Formula 305 in 87, even more so than an LX5.0 though it was slowerTt was a 305/Auto. It was slow for sure. But it handled amazing! I also miss all the glass with the T-tops. Visibility was outstanding for a performance car and it didnt feel like a dark cave like most modern muscle cars. I appreciated the hatch, I use to fit 2 mountain bikes in the under the hatch (with the front wheels removed) This picture is from when I painted the door and was installing new t-top gaskets, which was a tedious job. They didnt leak when I was done, so that was great. I was not pretty, I got it for $2,500 in 2007 and drove it to college.
YEEEEOOOOW!!! Hell, I feel your pain and I have never owned one!Regret is a harsh word..as I can say I only regret it when I see a Barret Jackson auction..
Ah….im going to harbor some hate in my heart for you getting rid of this car. JKMy 2005 Ford GT. No nannies and very dangerous on cold tires. Especially those goodyears.
