Sold my '59 Cadillac Sedan de Ville for $1800 back in 1980 - back then any '59 Caddy was a rare beast. Was about 17 when I bought that car. Ended up paying $37K a few years back for a '59 Series 60 Fleetwood Special, just so I could relive my youth.

hmmm, not cars but cant hink of a few bikes I shouldnt have, not because of value, but because they were ideal for me.
The wife knows I wouldnt never get rid of my current favourite bike, and has said when the time comes its fine with her to keep it in the lounge between rides when we buy or build our own house

I sold my Holden FB Special for $1000.I missed that for years. Until I bought my Valiant. That cured the problem.

Not a rotor fan, they are teenagers cars and not my thing now but man the ones that are still in existence tend to go for a fortune even if they are shabby.

My first car was a '57 Berkeley with a fibreglass body it looked like a mini AC Cobra but with a 328 cc Excelsior twin 2 stroke "engine" chain driving the front wheels was somewhat slower, topping out at 100 km/h solo or 80 with a passenger ! Sold it cheap when I lunched the motor as motorcycle engines suitable to replace it with with electric start weren't too available back in '67.So easy now to find a suitable grunty powerplant to slot in for some decent performance.

LC Torana GTR XU1. So simple to work on, insanely quick in its day and such a rewarding beasty to drive on a nice winding road.
In a moment of stupidity I decided to sell it in 1985 and buy a GTi Barina DOH!

My T-bucket, sold to get deposit for house, was stripped & everything done for cert just needed reassembly. Sold insanely cheap to a 'mate' who said he & his missus always wanted it, wouldnt change a thing & Id get first option if ever they decided to sell it which they didnt think they ever would. A few weeks later it was slapped together rough as guts (to the dangerous stage & couldnt get a WOF eventhough they lied as to why to the new owner), repainted & for sale on here because they 'needed the money'. yet swapped for an SS dunnydoor. The wife agrees that if it comes up again I'll do everything I can to get it back
