Sold a 1969 Gran Torino GT for $550, no rust to speak of. It was the same year and color as below. I still remember my freind's words "this will never amount to anything". Yeah right, what a beautiful car. The turn signals on the hood scoop were cool, but it is a Ford

Can we include "Wish I hadn't wrecked it" too? I had a 1971 Mazda RX2 Coupe with a 4-speed. Same color as below. Funnest dang car to drive, beautiful interior, a great a$$ end and Brap Brap Brap! I would love another, but where would you find parts. I buried the speedo many times 140-145 MPH, it had a newer Wankel.

Here's one just like my old car. Nice intro all the way around. I haven't seen an RX2 over many many decades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rywD5tOQTI0......................."the replacement engine had pistons, blah blah blah, we don't care"
