The ones u should of kept

[lamont 71duster]

I was thinking today about some of the cars I should of kept and never sold...here one I was almost done with and decided to sell it a couple yrs ago...I sold it to a very nice gentleman who finished it up and resold it again....the car was a very nice car that I should of finished up and took it to car shows with my son..so now we're trying to get our roadrunner finished up to take it...but thought I'd like to see and here some stories about that special car u let go of

Mine wasn't an a body or a vehicle. But I wished I'd kept the 451 I'd built for my charger. Traded like an idiot.

 

[fl 71]

1970 burnt orange 340 4 speed Cuda. First new car I ever bought. $3,200 off the show room floor. Tried like hell to find it a few years back but no luck. Have since purchased a 73 but just not the same.

Here's a few, in the order they left:
* 1970 Charger 500, triple black, 383 - traded it for a '69 Ford F250 when my 'ex' and I bought our house and needed a truck. Pretty stupid looking back on it now.
* 1974 Pontiac Firebird TransAm - the 'ex' took it when we split up in '84. She trashed it inside of a year.
* 1969 Dart Swinger 340 - got stupid in '75 and started making a race car out of it to run NHRA Super Street class. The build got stalled when I got divorced (kept the house, the kids and the car and got rid of the 'ex'). Never did finish the build but got stupider about '90 and sold it during a minor cash flow problem. Sure would have been easy to put it back on the street.

63 Pontiac lemans rag top 326 3 speed
64 F100 short box 390 4 speed

I've had a few mopars but the only one as cool as my Duster was my 66 Dart, I traded it to a good home.

First car;1973 Dodge Charger 400/727/3.23 blue with white vinyl top and and white bucket seat interior.

Second car;1970 Dodge Charger R/T 440 4 speed 4.10 Dana.Orange with black vinyl top and black bucket seat interior.

Sometimes I miss my 96 vette 383 lt4 six speed and sometimes I miss my 72 Nova 383 stroker factory sunroof.

I miss my 71 Chrysler 300 2dr 440 magnum and lots of rust but damn I suckered a few peeps with that one.

A few I should have kept. The cream 69 Bee and the B1 blue Challenger are still alive. I owned them all in the late 70's.
