Which Car(s) do you regret getting rid off

[Cory S]

I did that once, got a car exactly how I liked it and then sold it. Takes about a year and then you're like "why the hell did I do that". Every time

Just proves that the older we get, most of us eventually get wiser.

I gotta add: our current fleet includes a few that I keep saying I'm going to part with and move into a new project....but I can't when the time comes. I'd like to free up a garage bay. Maybe it's time to turn the trailer around and use it as a garage.

My 1984 Camaro Z28. It was my first car at 16. This is not a pic of my car but is identical to the one I had. I thought the Beige with gold trim was beautiful.

I had a red 1984 just like it, came back from the Desert Storm Department and paid cash for it in 1991. I’ve got a photo somewhere. The demand and value for these is rising

There are some truly awesome cars in this thread. What a museum collection it would make.

That and you acquire enough stuff that you can't focus on any one enough to spend too much on it.

My 05 Mustang GT. Grabbed it after coming back from Iraq and later did some upgrades to it. I had alot of sentimental value in that car. Traded it in for an 04 Cobra.

I constantly toy with the idea of getting another 05 and building one up again.

I’d say my 73 challenger fuel injected 440, and my 99 WS6.

That’s the very definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again……… I’ve done the same thing over and over with both motorcycles and cars. I’m at the end of the road with the insanity as well. The only thing i’d really love to be able to do is have my 22 Eruption Green GT turn into a Mach 1 in the same color.

You could do what I did and just buy the wheels. Great color, by the way.

My 2002 WS6 Trans Am and my 1997 Firehawk. I miss them both. It's really what pushed me to buy the Mach 1

The two I miss the most

2001 Cobra
H&R Cobra R springs, Koni yellows, subframe connectors, Steeda strut tower brace, Steeda G trac brace, Steeda Tri-Ax, JLT CIA, Bassani X pipe and catback (baffles removed), Diablo sport tuner

Going in to turn 10 at TWS

Sold the Cobra and picked up a 1999 E36 M3 Dinan stage 1 (intake, exhaust and tune) in estoril blue with dove grey vaders. Probably the most fun to drive, well balanced car I have ever owned. Moved from the Tx hill country to Dallas and traded it in on my first FJ. As great as the FJs have been I still regret getting rid of the M3.

'69 Mustang Grande' (coupe), Q-Code 428 Cobra Jet, A/C, tilt. Kept it for over 10 years, but time and money to finish the restoration eluded me.

This!! A 1971 Maverick Grabber. The car came factory with a 302, bucket seats and a floor shifted C-4. It was all original never wrecked, no rust and never spent a night outside since new. I grew up detailing this car every weekend for guitar string money! Waxed every f'n inch of the car twice a year including the underside and engine bay. You could eat off it! 1000's of hours and 10's of thousands of dollars later, I had an honest N/A 10 second street car. 13:1 cast iron block with early 67 GT cylinder heads, cast crank with Carrillo rods, 700" lift mechanical roller cam. Ya....I had to run 116 octane, but hell it was less than $5 a gallon if I bought it buy the barrel. The car hooked and went straight on the street or track. Stop light to stop light.....I embarrassed more than a few SBC and big $$ BBC! 4:30 gears with a 5500 rpm stall in a 2400lb car was tailbone breaking with DOT legal slicks on the street! Pulling the front wheels off the ground launching at will was awesome!!

I sold it to a guy I met thru a Maverick forum that lived a few hours away from me in Mission, British Columbia Canada. He had been after me for years about buying the car. I told him....not for sale 100's of times. I had the motor and trans out after a few seasons to freshen the motor and have the convertor checked. The motor was fine...just rings and bearings. The convertor was showing heat related issues so, Jim @ JPT had me send the C-4 back to him in Michigan to get updated with his latest billet internals. He fell on some hard times w/family and health issues so I missed the Seattle good weather season. It sat for almost a year and life happened! I started touring more....kid went off to college @ UCLA playing baseball, so I caved. $25K for a Maverick and trailer in 2002 was good money and I finally sold it. Trailered it to Canada and handed over the keys! Spent the weekend firing up the motor and showing him how to time, adjust the valves/carb etc. Broke the motor and trans in on jackstands and said my goodbyes! He raced it a couple times and attended a bunch of cars shows, but couldn't leave well enough alone! Decided he wanted more power and sent the Victor Jr. intake to N.O.S. and had it plumbed for nitrous. Took it to a test and tune and first launch he wheelstanded to car into the right lane retaining wall. Folded the passenger side front suspension and shock tower. Cheese grated the whole passenger side along the wall. I saw the pics and posts on the Maverick forum and seriously felt like I'd lost a child! First forum I've ever been banned for life on! Still f'n kills me today!!! My new MACh1 helps!!!
