What cars do you regret getting rid of?

1974 mk3 ford cortina,when ford was ford..jim wish i kept it!

Never seen or heard of one of those, what is the story about it?  Thanks.

  For some reason I am remembered of how the Mad Max car was a Ford Falcon or something like that.  Was that Ford offered in different countries or something?

I have never seen or heard of one of those either, so I did a little googleing and found this:
The Ford Cortina is a medium sized family car sold by Ford of Britain in various guises from 1962 to 1982.The Cortina was produced in five generations (Mark I through to Mark V— though officially the last one was called the Cortina 80) from 1962 until 1982. From 1970 onward, it was almost identical to the German-market Ford Taunus (being built on the same platform) which was originally a different car model. This was part of a Ford attempt to unify its European operations. By 1976, when the revised Taunus was launched, the Cortina was identical. In fact, this new Taunus/Cortina used the doors and some panels from the 1970 Taunus.
All variants of the Cortina sold over one million, with each successive model proving more popular than its predecessor. Such was its fame in the UK that the BBC Two documentary series Arena once devoted an edition to the car and its enthusiasts.

Well I haven't had that many cars as some of the other people listed, and I know I didn't get rid of nearly as many as my father either.

But of the cars I've sold I miss a few.

1970 charger 225/6 3 on the tree, FM3 car with tan interior. I know its an odd ball.
1970 Charger 500 SE with power sunroof.
don't miss the 69 SE with sunroof as much though.
1987 Shelby Charger GLHS #208, had a little over 14,000 miles on it when I sold it.
Had 3 of the 1992 IROC R/T Daytona's.
Had 3 of the 1991 Spirit R/T's as well.

As far as my dad goes, well I know that he definately misses these cars.

All 5 of the 1969 Daytona's he owned, even though he wanted an AT car with a console he never had one. He had 4 4speeds, and 1 AT on the column Daytona.
He misses one of the Superbirds he had, Lemon Twist yellow 440-6 4 speed car, the other Bird was Alpine white 440 4 bbl, AT console car. Nothing spectacular.
I miss the 2 500's he had. 1 HEMI, and the other Q5 that was a 440 car.
He had other HEMI cars, like a 70 HEMI Charger R/T, 70 HEMI RR, 68 HEMI RR, and a HEMI Cuda. But I never cared for the E bodies, and he wasn't much of a fan of them either.

Hey Jim, my first car was a 72 Cortina.  I don't miss it though, it was a money pit and I never did get it legally registered for the road.  I sold it and moved on to another early 70's FoMoCo product and since it was legal, I guess I always think of it as my first "real" car.

Yep it is a rather neat lookin car. I would drive one of those.
Heres another pic I found. I like this one too

Well that drags me back 30 years.  Mine was a red two door but that's the car.

my '71 Buick GS 350 convertible, one of 902, I should have restored that one.

And my old '68 Super Bee. It got t-boned in '87, I should have kept it and fixed it.
