This thread could also be called "cars I wish I hadn't sold":

68 Chevelle 6 cyl 3-spd... $0 in '72

Was a gift from my parents after they made me sell my 50 Chevy. My dad was transferred and his employer wouldn't pay to move my car... they did move the 327 that was going into the 50 coupe and it went into the Chevelle

66 Fairlane GT 390 4-spd... $650 in '74

Got a deal because it had a noisy transmission. Replaced the bearing on the input shaft, was good to go.

50 Ford pickup with 327 Chevy... $400 in '77

Engine was frozen... had a pinched rod bearing, easy fix. Wife and I still refer to it as Rocket Truck.

63 Falcon... $75 in '79

OK, anti-muscle car but was my best deal ever. My new manager knew my salary, felt sorry for me, and gave me his beater. Later sold it to a neighbor under similar empathy rules for $150.
