Chris@Adams Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Okay guys & girls, we all have a car or truck that we sold and wished we still had. I will start, this is my 1977 GMC that I sold back in the early 90’s. Post up pics of yours! Captain Slow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris@Adams Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Nice, you don't have any actual pics? I think Dan isn't the only one that likes blue. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even our wedding pics. We've turned the whole house upside down looking for them multiple times, but they are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bscott94 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) My brother had a first gen Cummins that he sold right before I got my license. I was not happy about it. That was one of the first vehicles I remember "detailing" I remember standing in the bed and claying the roof and helping his wax it. It was a beautiful truck. I'll see if I can find a picture of it somewhere Edit: I found a couple pictures on his Facebook page. These are from 2009.

Captain Slow Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I only regret selling this one: My beloved 2009 SRM G8 GT. While my 2017 Chevy SS is far superior in all performance categories it doesn’t have the place in my heart that the G8 does. Started it up one morning to the sound of the dreaded DOD lifter knock. At the time I didn’t have the $$ to fix it so I traded it in. Little did I know two months later my financial situation would improve drastically. I had the chance to buy it back from a dealer in Wisconsin that bought it at auction but didn’t pull the trigger. 🤦🏻♂️ It’s been in two wrecks since then so the thought of hunting it down is now a long lost one...and no, another SRM G8 GT couldn’t take her place.

RayS Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 While I loved my '69 Blue Nova it was outclassed by the '71 Red Mach I, which didn't come close to the Rust Red '56 Chevy Pickup, that someone was not smart enough to keep - be right back .... Sorry, I had to go look in mirror while I slapped myself for selling that truck. The oak boards in the box were hand cut, sanded, stained and polished to a high gloss. The box rails were also oak and were all from the same tree. The bolts in the box were all chrome, as where the chains for the tail gate. It was all the little things that were right about the truck and I really should have put it in storage for the three years that I was going to be in Alaska, but someone offered way more money than it was actually worth at the time so I sold it. Way too often I think about getting another for a project vehicle, but I just don't think I could get that level of perfection or at least what is still in my mind 35'sh years later as perfection.

tlbullet Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Thats an easy answer for me. Its my 94’ Acura Legend 6 speed coupe! I had about 50k miles on it and traded it in around 2001. Although i still loved it at the time i was commuting into NYC and figured there was a better chance of it getting stolen than not! I figured i was giving the car a chance and let her go!😢 I look everyday for a replacement..probably several times a day! My favorite site (other than this one!) is Bringatrailer.com (BaT). Awesome cars. they had my dream car last week...unfortunately sold for over what i was looking. ($25,500!😳). I dont have pic of my actual car but this car is exactly what im hunting for .

MacA Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) I've had too many car/trucks over the years. MANY that I have regretted getting rid of, but I have to say that the biggest regret was selling my 1972 Corvette 454 4spd. I put a lot of money and sweat into that Vette. It was immaculate! Still wander what I was thinking when I traded it away!! 😞 Edited June 7, 2020 by MacA mc2hill, Beemer and Rich 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLC_Shark Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Traded in my 2005 Magnum R/T for a minivan when we got the new about child number 4. I'll have to see if I can find pics. Someone local bought it but they are digging it out bad. 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
