I say I sorta regret selling it 'cause I loved it, but had it looking so good I was afraid to use it as a truck, so it really just sat. I hope the fella that bought it is taking good care of it and enjoying it.

That is a very nice truck it reminds me of the one I used to own I redid the whole truck except the trans and t-case then sme guy offered me a lot f money for it and we had too many vehicles to insure so I sold it I don't regret selling it but it would be nice to still have it

I've had a few that I wish I wouldn't of sold... especially the ones that were paid off.

I came close to selling my current 87'... but I always get a gut feeling that I will regret it as well. Decisions decisions when you want something different.

My 72 suburban. The body was totally gone and it needed a lot of work to say the least, I had big plans for it but it started having electrical problems and then the old 350 gave out. I was in high school and didn't have the money to fix it so ended up parting it out. It was ugly and everybody made fun of me but I loved it.

I was 18 sold my numbers matching 66 el camino. all it needed was a passenger side rear patch and paint. I regret it every day and I want it back pretty bad. I check ebay and some other places every now and then. I still have the vin. I tried to contact the guy I sold it to but his email address has been closed. I sold it to an older gentlemen who was giving it to his grandson who was going to autobody school. So I can atleast think (hope) it was finished right and is bringing someone alot of joy.

Regretted selling the '83, but we got the '73 soon after...

Slonaker · 01-19-2011, 05:15 PM

I have never regretted selling any vehicle. There have been a few that I regretted not buying, though.

I tried to sell my '86 a few years ago. Luckily no one wanted to buy it.

I don't regret selling my 77, because I got my focus and it has been a GREAT car... I just wish I could have kept the 77 AND bought the focus.

Even having my '78, which made my 77 look like a fried turd, I still wish I had that truck sometimes. And there again, I want both the 77 and the 78 at the same time. lol
