I know this isn't a question but one thing I regret in my life was selling my 1966 289 HiPo Coupe with a automatic trans. All origional K-Code engine. I sold it for 4,000. and I had just restored the car too.

And I know I am going to get flamed for this, but I sold it for a Celica. I cried after I realized what I did and that is why I bought the 67. If I could i would track down the guy I sold it to but I just hate to see what he might have done to it.

that car had to be worth alot more than I sold it for. I was 17 and foolish. 4 years later I still regret it.

I think this is a lesson for anyone thinking of buying a ricer. Ricers Suck, sure rice is cheeper to drive but but who only wants 140 hp.

I regret selling my 69 428cj Mach, my 69 Cougar Eliminator, and not hooking up with Pam Daniels in high school.

Live and learn. At least you'll never make that mistake again

I had a 65 Galaxie 500 w/390 in High School that I put everything I had into, the car was beautiful when I left for the military. I called home before being sent overseas only to learn my parents sold it on me. I spent 7 years dreaming of getting another classic. Got back to the U.S. and bought a 67 Old's 442. Rebuilt the whole car, put a ton of money into it, and it turned out beautiful. Then our first child came along and my wife demanded I sell it so we could get our first home. Fine, understandable need. But I've hated myself for letting that one go ever since. I should have sold off her shoe collection instead!

So now I finally got the car I've always wanted, a Mustang. And this one is going with me to the grave. :worship:

Haa

Sold my first classic to buy a house, too. I could have avoided selling it by finding my wife a job, but it was much, much easier.
