I had THREE of them, back when I was young and foolish. The first was a 1964 GTO convertible, the second a 1965 Corvair Corsa, and the third a 1969 Olds Hurst 442. I finally learned to hang onto a classic car after I purchased a 1982 Camaro IROC Indy Pace Car edition. That beauty is still stored in my extra garage. It's not worth what the others might have been, but it's still a fun car to toodle around in on a nice summer day.

Two, actually.
1. 1965 Chevy Corvair Spyder Turbo Convertible. Sold if for $500 -- need money fast to keep a loan shark happy.
2. 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine. Traded a 1961 Cadillac Sedan deVille for it -- the owner was too fat to drive the limo. It had the partition and not a lot of leg room in front. Sold if for $1,500 -- needed money for school tuition. It would be worth more than the education was if I still had it...

My 92 Pontiac Sunbird. I drove across the country when it was 10 years old without any trouble...
But I had to go abroad for a year and I had to sell it. I wish I had it now.

I DIDN'T BUT MY FRIEND TRADED HIS AAR CUDA IN MINT CONDITION TO THE DEALER AND GOT A WHOPPING $5000.00 AND I HAD ALREADY SAID THAT WHEN HE WAS READY TO SELL IT I WOULD GIVE HIM $2000.00 MORE THAN HE WANTED.
HE WAS IN A HURRY AND THOUGH HE WAS GETTING A GREAT PRICE, BOY WAS I SICK.
I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT AN HOUR LATER TO BUY IT AND THEY HAD SAID THAT IT WAS ALREADY SOLD, YEA RIGHT.

You just made me ill reading your question. Actually I haven't sold much that I would want back and certainly nothing as regretful as your experience.
