1966 Datsun 1600 Roadster - SPL311-05969 - California car with NO rust ever. The next owner stripped it down and redid the body. He told me it had no bondo or rust on anything.

Currently he would like to sell for around $5,000.

When I owned it - 1991 - 1996

Now for sale - 2011 - These are the original colors.

Looks like a great car! This is the kind of photo that makes me wish I hadn't sold my huge garage with house attached & moved to a patio home!

I sold all of them because at the time they were all daily drivers and I considered each sale and subsequent replacement to be "progress".

1) The immaculate Lancia Scorpion that I 'owned' for about three days, reselling it to my uncle so my newly licensed cousin could drive it, who decided it wasn't 'trendy' enough for her geographical location, who sold it a couple of months later. And no one told me until the car was long gone. I would have bought it back.

2) The Fiat Dino Spider my dad came across in 1987, also in great shape. He owned an auto body shop at the time, and would restore random cars on the side. It was cheap, relatively speaking. When the Ferrari market starting getting out of control in 1989 or so, Dino prices were dragged along. I could have made a small killing on it, at least payed for a year of college or two.

3) The SVO. A different car in a sea of cookie cutters. Turbos were disposable back then, like oil filters, but I liked it.

I don't have any cars I regret selling yet. But I have a few I regret not buying. A '67 Torino with a 427 side oiler for $2500 and a '91 Alfa 164S for $500.

My '63 TR4. I've always been a Triumph guy at heart and, IMHO, the TR4 is the most lovely bit of kit that ever bore the TR badge... My '69 MGB/GT. What a great daily driver that car was. Dead nuts reliable... And soon to be added to the list, due to serious health issues, my beloved BMW 635CSi. Gotta pay the Doctors somehow... I also kinda miss my "86 Dodge Omni GLH-T. A "quirky" little car for sure. "Goes Like Hell" indeed! Cheers, Scott
