    ok guys and gals, i did a search, but came up kinda empty. so if this thread has in fact been started, could a moderator please delete it, thanks.
    so, weve all had a love affair with the F bodys. and im sure many of us have owned more than 1 and more than likely sold one we wish we hadnt. so lets talk a walki down memory lane, and lets see the beloved camaros of days gone by, the cars we coulda, shoulda, woulda kept.
    mine was my first ever. a mint 87 iroc that my dad bought me when i turned 16 and it has 37k on the odo when it came home. it was at the lanes car show this ear. i will buy that car back...someday

    wow beautiful thirdgen there, I can see why you would love to buy it back!

    I would buy my old 1992 RS back if I could, wasnt mint but it was still mine







    That is what she looked like right before I sold her...

      The one I truely regret selling was my first car - 1969 Chevelle.

      I did have a 1986 Camaro hardtop that I sold for 200 bucks, v6/t5 but not a speck of rust. Need a little work on the passenger rear quarter, but I didn't see the potential at the time Little did I know that I would get the third gen bug later on down the road!

          I will probably get banned for this but....I wish I still had my 2000 Mustang. It could never replace my Camaro but I still miss it.

          I sold it right before I got married b/c it was hard to justify 2 nice summer cars (while driving POS's in the winter).

            I've had several cars that have "gotten away", but here are two of my deepest regrets, my '86 IROC and my '71 Buick GS.

            Quick story about the GS, just this spring I found it back and it's for sale, went to look at it and found that it's no where near the same condition as when I sold it.....crappy repaint, interior is showing a huge amount of use/wear, rust bubbles forming in areas, chrome is showing alot more wear/neglect......All these years I wanted to find it back and now that I did I wish I wouldn't have. Somethings are better left to the fond memories of our minds.

              Easy.. my 1989 RS, only owned it for about 11 months before my dad sold it.






              Only two photos I have of it.

              And for Trisha, it would be her 02 Z28 vert. Her mom at the time made her decide. Either she keeps the Camaro, or she dumps me basically haha (yea I never liked her mom and never will..sucks she has to be my future mother in law). So obviously...bye bye Camaro

                    the vehicles i regret selling are my 67 buick electra 225. the buick i got at a junkyard and sold it 3 days later after a guy offered me 2 grand for that pile of rust. also 79 trans am i regret selling the most. it had soo much potential no rust whatsoever and a 455 in it, but no interior, trans, windshield it was just a shell but with a ton of potential. the also my friend and i bought a big 87 suburban together with every power, option, not a spec of rust, lifted 9 inches with brand new rims and tires, brand new gears, newer 4l80e, towing package etc but a blown motor that neither of us wanted to fix since we sold it. two days after we were given a free 454 and we sorta hit ourselves on the head

                        My first car.

                        1978 Martinique Blue Trans Am.

                        It was fast, and I was young and dumb...12 points in 6 months...

                        Saw it about a year after I sold it...somebody had rattle-canned it white...even painted over the sidemarkers...

                        I'm sure it went to the scrapyard years ago...

                            I miss my '83 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ the most.

                            307, Cam, headers/duals with a heavy metalic midnight blue paint job. No rust. Was a head turner- and fun to drive too!

                            An F-350 dually decided to wrap itself around my front drivers side. Totally fixable, but had my hands full with my first daughter. Took the wheels off it and had the junk yard come pick it up.
