Been there,Done that

was thinking about how some of the cars in our lives end up leaving And returning.
thought maybe a topic of some stories about this might? be interesting.

my 71 amc javelin
i owned this car 2 times in 20 years.
i bought it out of conn,redid it in mass,and took it with me to ny when i moved here.
sold it a few years later,and then bought it back 8 years after that.
its the one car i had the longest,and to be frank,i have no clue why.
it had the 71 down crank,so transmissions were a pita and the body needed help,
yet,i was stuck on that car.
i finally sold it again a few years ago,and of course i Still think about it.
if it comes up for sale,ill probably go buy it again!
no clue why,
i literally went thru hundreds of cars and tons of money while that one sat in storage...
in fact i paid more for storage than the car was worth lmao,smh at meself.
the itch that never got scratched i guess.

my 69 coronet
i bought this car as a parts car.
it had shot qtrs the body was primer red and motor was toast.
i dropped a 400 in it and sold it,saw it a few months later,trans had lost reverse.
kept trying to buy it back,finally got it a year later and had it going in a week.
that car,besides being the biggest Pile bodywise,was the Most Fun.
you could do Anything you wanted in it,no worries.
i Miss a lot of my cars,but some really stand out.
that pile was one of em

so,got any good stories?

Once mine are sold they are pretty much forgotten,
gone for good
rarely ever even seen them unless they were racecars
that I saw at the track occasionally...
Usually good reasons for selling on my end in the 1st place...

I would like to have my 1st 68 Charger R/T back,
1st got some 40+ years ago, sold 10-12 years later
but it's gone to the big Mopar God in the sky now...
