I have been lucky enough to own a majority of my "Dream Cars" in my life, Keeping them on the other hand has been my downfall. Today It is crazy to see the prices on some of these classic cars that I have once owned and sold to buy other cars...

Sometime in 2004, (If I remember correctly) I got a phone call from a friend who said there was a car I might be interested in and it was sitting in a guy's shop about 20 miles from me. He had painted the car and went through the motor/drivetrain and then lost interest. It basically needed to be put back together after paint, and the interior needed to be finished. It was a numbers matching, 1979 Pontiac Trans Am.

I paid $3,000 for the car and a couple of pickup loads of parts. I finished putting the car back together after its recent paint job, bought all new interior and put it in, and had new graphics installed and new wheels and tires installed. It was an awesome car. I should have never sold that one!!

I sold that car in 2006 for $9K, I made a bit of pocket change on it and felt pretty good about my sale.

I no longer feel good about that sale. If I had that car still today it would probably be worth somewhere around 4 times as much as I sold it for back then.

What car did you sell back in the day that you regret selling? List it below with a pic if you have one...

In 1997, I bought a running/driving 1969 Dodge Charger. It was a 28-year-old car at that point in time and widely regarded as a True Classic American Muscle Car. I paid $3,000 for that car. It was a LOT of money in 1997, but attainable, not out of reach, not a ridiculous asking price. Today I jumped on Facebook Marketplace to take a look at what is for sale and ran across a 1992 Chevy Cavalier for sale for $8,000, described as a Classic... Last year at Mecum Kissimmee, I watched a Chevy Chevette bring an astronomical hammer price. Am I being snobbish in what I believe are Classics?? Are the budget, throw-away cars of the late 80's/early 90's really regarded as classics?? I have my opinion, what is yours?

This 2022 Corvette has lived a short, rough life. With only 14K miles on the clock... It was part of a fleet of Exotic Rental Cars that met its maker under the unskilled hands of an apparent novice driver not prepared for the 500HP brutality of the C8 Vette.

The insurance company was trying to prepare a repair plan for this Vette virtually. Luckily the vehicle owner and the repair shop thought better of that idea and called CFL Auto Appraise in to provide an in-person inspection and a detailed damage estimate. Things did not turn out so well for the Corvette as this will more than likely become a donor car and be deemed a total loss.
