My late dad always regretted getting rid of his '64 and a half Mustang convertible, white black top, 289 HiPo with four in the floor. I have two, a '76 Malibu Classic two door with swivel bucket seats. Had a little 305 2 barrel. The other was a '85 Monte Carlo with the 4.3 V6. Bought it from Budget car sales with just under 25K on it. It was a great car, never had any major issues and had all kind of road trips. In first two years almost doubled the miles on it.

I worked at a lincoln-mercury dealership in the 70s and the marquis was the best riding car ever ! Two cars I wish I still had were my 76 lincoln towncar and the very best , 1972 cougar 2dr , 302cid. Lastly was my 73 merc comet , 302 cid. Hell of a runner and an excellent handling car. I also had a 79 brat 1600 cc that would run the wheels of most american cars. I've owned about 60 autos in my life. Best trucks were/are my two 89 F-250s. One 4wd and the other 2wd.

Love the regret videos. Id say my most regret sold car was of course my first car. It was a 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo Sport Coupe, white with blue interior. Even though it only sported the 4.3 EFI V6, it drove like a dream and just dripped with class. I purchased it when I was a junior in High School and actually kept hold of it for about 15 years. Finally between life, needing a lot of engine work and lack or storage, I ended up parting with it. Ive had a couple of new Monte Carlos since but nothing was quite like the personal luxury coupes of the 70s and 80s.

My dad had a ‘75 Monte Carlo that he bought brand new and kept garaged until 1998 when he took it out for a spin and wrecked it. My dad was a marine and combat veteran whom I’ve only seen cry three times in my life…when my grandmother and brother passed away and when the Monte Carlo was totaled. My friend’s mom had the late ‘80s SS in a dark plum color. That was an awesome car!

I had that 305 three speed combo in, get this, a 1979 Pontiac Sunbird notchback coupe in buckskin tan with the three color gradient sport stripes, rear deck lid spoiler and the "big boy" Trans Am styled rally wheels with the polished trim rings - Trans Am bucket seats, AM only(?) 8 track stereo, center console shifter and AC that would run a refrigerator. My buddies used to call it the "Baby Trans Am", like you left it in the dryer too long. Not the most refined car but very fast and comfortable - and nothing else like it. I've never seen one since (save in photos) Freaking loved that car!

My favorite car that I finally had to retire after having it 20 years was my second car a 1976 Cutlass Calais. It had a 350 4 barrel, a console automatic shifter, we called a "slap stick shifter" it was silver with a maroon velour interior, reclining seats, had the opera windows, landau vynal top, limited slip rear end. In the day I had B F Goodrich T/A Radials on it and polished aluminum slotted mags. That car was so fast, I topped it out at 140. It handled great, super traction in the snow. I always wanted to restore it and slightly customize it but never could afford it at the time.

Of the 6 cars I've owned since 1993, I would say I miss car #4. Which was a brand new 2000 Nissan Sentra SE; Black with a 5 speed manual transmission. Car gave me ZERO problems, unless you consider the one time my battery went dead in the middle of traffic one day. The only reason I traded it in was because the winters were getting more ridiculous. So I traded it after 7 years for a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer LS 4x4 ... which I still own.

With respect to the question about the 64-66 Tbird, none of them had steering wheel shifters. Only the Edsel 1958 (upper line Corsair and Citation only) had a push button trans situated in the steering wheel hub. Some say the 58 Mercury Monterey convertible had it also. It was Chrysler/AMC-Rambler products that had push button shifters on the left or right of the dash.

Regarding your question about the 1964 Thunderbird push button automatic transmission, here's what I found on the net: When the 1958 Edsel launched in the late summer of 1957, the Edsel became the first and only Ford division to launch an electro-mechanical push-button transmission system, which it trademarked as Teletouch. Teletouch placed the transmission buttons in a ring within the center of the steering wheel.

1976 Mercedes Benz 300D. Bought it for less than $2000 with 75k miles on it. Purchased it from the original owner's wife at an Estate sale. Everything on it ran perfectly. I eventually sold it a few years ago with 127k miles for $3000. I saw it for sale online for around $11k. My dad regrets selling his 1971 Ford Bronco. He sold it in the summer of 2005 for around $5000. It was a hand-me-down from his father (Original Owner) in 1977. If he kept the car, it would be worth anywhere between $25k-$50k. All of these were primarily rust-free cars from the PNW.

OK I'll ad one, but I'm glad I raced it. It was a 67 Mustang fastback R code iirc, a 390 4 speed car. I got it in 1978 and it was pretty much a cosmetic wreck. Later I discovered it had been slid into a curb and the frame was bent. So I cut it up and made a street stock race car out of it. Before I was done with it I made it a nasty stock car. I built a "baby 427" and it was bad to the bone!!! I learned a lot about racing and building race cars with that Mustang.

Hmm I have a handful. But not all were cars. My 1971 Ford Torino 500 2 door with a few modifications. I added power brakes, the beefier radiator from a police car, and cam with Edelbrock intake and 750cfm carb.. put a shift kit in and lastly added aftermarket aluminum heads.. it was a 2 door with a medium metallic blue and dished rear window. Fortunately she found a good home. The other was a truck I pulled out of the weeds and got running and drove home. It only cost about $30. It was a 75 Ford f250 hi boy with a 360 and stock 33 inch tires. Front and rear limited slip. I had issues with the 360 so I put a 390 put of a 68 galaxie in it, and I drove it until prices on gas climbed too high after 2006 and it's working at a saw mill as the big man's truck. I could have got a jeep j20 pickup at the same place as the Ford but I didn't have the money for a new clutch and universal joints, even doing all the work myself.

I didn't sell my favorite car I wrecked it. It was a 68 Camaro RS/SS and lord do I miss that car!!!

I've had way too many cars , I'd have to really sit down and put it down onto paper. But I still own one of my favorite Motorcycles of all time, now for the past 40 yrs. a 1975 Honda CB400F, Supersport. just finished taking it for a ride. I will be selling it maybe , finally later this year . I don't want to die with it, let someone else enjoy it after I'm gone!

68 Road Runner 383, 73 Javelin, Road Runner 360 4brl. Although I had finish probems with the Javelin, it was the sportiest--68 Road Runner most powerful.

I don't actually regret selling my 84 Cressida because it was an electrical nightmare. I regret the bells and whistles weren't as good as the mechanicals

I only really regret selling a couple of cars; mostly regret buying many of them. :P I do regret selling my 1973 Dodge Dart Sport 340; my first car, and my 1953 Studebaker Champion 2 door sedan. Also, I disagree. The Accord does look cool. It's no Trans Am, and you won't be running block for a load of illegal Coor's beer in it, but it's still a cool looking little hatch. Then again, I just bought a Fifth Avenue to tinker on, and I like the looks of those cars too. So I may not have the best taste.

It's not my regret, But my dad had a 1969 AMC Javelin that I regret he sold. It was sharp..Red w/ Blk.top. Even though he is no longer with us I am glad we still have his 1969 AMC AMX.

ThunderBIRD that is both of the answers. PUSH BUTTON was to Start the Engine, mot the tyranny, the key was still needed. 1966 Thunderbird (brick red paint with a black leather and chrome interior) highsckool grad gift.. . It was choice between a DatSun B210 that or the TBIRD…. Mom sold it on me while I was away at sckool… In disbelief I was in shell shock (ptsd) for a while… So much fo the Party 🎊 Party🎉 which is what I was driving while educating in LALALalaland; but with $10.00 I could fill the Gold Ford Fiesta and drive from east LA to Anaheim up to Santa Monica still have 1/2 tank.i returned or was kinda dragged back to SF Bay Area…school called mom. Hollywood in the mid 1980’s was… 😝

Great show. Side note. The Thunderbird shown is a 1965. The 1964 Ford Thunderbird had the word spelled out on the front hood “T H U N D E R B I R D”. Regardless, they 64-66 Thunderbirds are absolutely beautiful American classic cars. Great program. Sharing it with many others. 👍🏻😎🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸👍🏻😎🏎🛞🚓😎👍🏻
