yep, there are a few cars i have sold that i regret selling;

68 tbird. i was close to getting that car up and running. had to sell it though because i ran out of money.

79 fairmont. had the 302/C4 drivetrain. it was a fun car to drive, even though it was a four door.

84 tbird. it had fuel injection issues i couldnt solve, but when it was right it got 34mpg on the open road, and was also fun to drive even with the V6.

80 pinto. again a fun car to drive with a 2.3/4spd trans. mine also had the ralley package.

one car i sold, but was able to buy back later on is my 66 mustang.

84 F250. the only reason i sold it was it was too loud at speed. it had the 6.9 diesel/4spd(i wished it had the automatic though cause i would have kept it then), and got an average of 21mpg all the time.

'99 Camaro SS A4 T-tops
Yank SS4000, Maganaflow CB, Kooks headers, etc....
It was set up to run mid-11's.
Ran into a hard time and had a busted tranny as well.
I sold it to a GM mechanic who had it fixed w/3.73's in it in no time.

I'll have another one again..

There's only one I've actually sold and that was the '90 F150. Nice truck and ran well. Saw body issues creeping up and knew the thing would be toast in a year or two with rust I could probably never truly get ahead of.

Can't really think of anything else. All the others had problems/issues that coupled with age and body condition didn't warrant any real money being thrown at them. The rule at my house is drive them in, flatbed them out. If the junkyard wants to sell them as a driving unit that's their choice.

71 Chevy Malibu Sport 350. Had a factory 4 speed. Would be worth a lot now. Sold it for $350 in 1981 during the gas crisis...
