What cars do you regret getting rid of?

What cars do some of you guys regret selling over the years? 
I'm only 20, so I haven't gotten rid of anything cool yet, although I will be selling my Firebird soon to get a truck. 

My dad had a 68 Charger 383HP 4 speed, and a 74 SE. 
I know he really regrets selling the 68, but we'll have another one someday.
I read somewhere that only 257 were made in 68 with a 383HP?  Does anyone have any more info about this?

We went to look at a 66 Charger last summer, and the guy who was selling it had a picture of a white Charger 500 with red interior that he used to own.  I know he regretted selling that one.  The guy lives near St. Louis, maybe someone on the area still owns the car?

So lets hear some of the cars you guys had back in the day.

Old Moparz

My 1969 Charger SE, but mostly as a parts car for the 1968 I have now. Although having it sit around since 1984 probably wouldn't have left me much to use right now.

I did consider buying back a Cadillac station wagon I had sold, but was already well into Mopars by then & didn't have the room or the money when it was up for sale.

i haven't had but the '65 dodge 880 the two vans and the ' 89 new yorker, besides,  the three i have now are the keepers... but 20 years of driving vans as daily drivers gets to be a bit much... i dont care how useful they are...

                                                     practically gave this one away cause I couldn't get a roof for it in fall, rains here a lot, but
                                                           the next spring I sure regretted that, , ouch  $275  :icon_smile_dissapprove: :icon_smile_angry:
                                    84 Nissan ext. cab 4x4
  
                                 


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

70 Super bee, and 72 Charger 440 with a RT hood, 67 barracuda, 67 Charger, 74 Challenger...... I think I always regret letting the last one go the most.  The one I diddn't buy is my biggest regret, 1990 we just bought our first house, I had just gotten out of the Navy, I had talked a guy down to $5,000 on a convertible Cuda 383, orange w/ white interior hockey stick stripe.  I had my 70 convertible Challenger I bought in 82.  My wife was having a fit, we are going in debt on a car that you already have one just like it in a different color.  I decided rather than listen to her for 15 or 20 years, I would pass.  I came to my senses and went back a couple of months later but the car was gone.

Luckily, I've held on to my Chargers!!

I used to have a '71 Satellite that I converted to a Road Runner clone when I was in my teens in the late '80's. I was lemon twist, white & brown split high-backed bench interior (yes!!!), black strobe stripes, & go-wing. Fat 50's with Cragar SST's, & a 440. Not anything rare or valuable, but damn that car was fun. I always wondered what happened to it. I can't find my old paperwork anywhere or the VIN# or else I'd trace it. Last I saw it was at E-town, NJ, in the early '90's. It was leaving on a flatbed, never saw it since.

2nd was a '87 Conquest TSI.

My brother regrets selling his '70 Cuda 383-4spd. A/C, leather interior, power windows, loaded. He's back in the game again trying to find another.

The one I didn't buy 5-6 years ago a 69 Daytona fresh armature restoration  $68,000 it was nice but I couldn't come up with the cash as fast as he needed it.

Or any of the other Chargers I have sold off

Loved 'em all... and as an interesting side note, I had relocated the 67, and was trying to buy it back..... but the guy didn't want to sell. He then mentioned this 67 R/T ragtop he had that he MIGHT selll...... which is now in my garage, while I patiently wait and try to wear him down on the 67 GTX.....
