Selling Muscle Car, just got married (1980s - 1990s). Any one out there regret selling their Muscle Car?

Question

I remember numerous people selling their prized Muscle Cars, Classic Cars, Hot rods etc. because they got married. Do you have any regrets now, because these cars are so valuable now?

Answer 1

Yes! My husband (boyfriend at the time) sold his 1971 'Cuda 440/6 pack with the 4 speed and used some of the cash to buy my engagement ring...we'd love to have it now for sure.

Before that he had a '71 Charger 440/6 that his mom traded in when he lost his license for drag racing on a public highway.

But, hey, it's 30 years later and now we finally get to get back into muscle cars so it worked out in the long run. :-)

Answer 2

yeah i do.  i sold my 67 lemans a few years ago and i regret it.  sold it for too little also.

Answer 3

Didn't sell.

When I was a hippie I drove an old '55 Volkswagen named Adolf, (so named because the license plate as issued randomly by the state has '666' as the three numbers), and people would always tell me what they used to drive and how they regret selling it.  

So I decided I'd keep all my choice stuff.  

I now have Adolf, a '55 Studebaker truck (Rusty),  a '55 Belair (Tessie [because it's two-tone]), A '55 BMW motorcycle (not named), a '62 Triumph TR6 motorcycle, a '60 Matchless (Slick [because it leaks]), a '31 Ford Roadster Hot Rod project and our daily driver is a '66 Chevy Nova (Thumper).

The only five cars I have sold in my life were a '72 Vega, a '78 Honda (Fenry), a '66 Rambler (Spot) a '65 El Camino (Ricky [because it was fast, you know, Ricky Racer]) and a '76 Chevy 4X4 stepside (Sherman).

I guess I sort of regret selling Sherman, but I didn't enjoy off-roading as much as I thought I would.  He was traded for Rusty and Ricky.  Fenry and Spot were donated to my brother because at different times he needed a car, and Ricky was later traded for Tess.  

The '72 Vega Sedan Delivery was actually a car I would have kept, but after I fractured a few vertebre it was painful to get in and out of such a low car (those things are as low as Nissan Z-cars, well, at least mine was with the low-profile tires), so I gave it to a high-school kid and bought Thumper.

Answer 4

my dad regretted selling his cars, he was in that era and owned alot of them, GTO, Challenger....all thoes and he looks at what they were worth back then and now....
