I haven't had any real classics. The one car i wish i had kept was an LC 4 door SL torana I bought in sometime around 2006 or so as a second car run around. It had a 161 motor and disc brake front end. Bought it off a mechanic I knew for $750. Had it resprayed by a friend in a light metallic green for a few hundred plus paint. It was fitted with mags and went really well; even had an under dash aircond and no rust. The only thing it required was a new grill as the fitted one was a bit worse for wear but they were as rare as hen's teeth to find. Sold it after 2 years to my nephew for $1500. He subsequently wrote it off after a year and also took ages for him to actually pay me the full amount owing.

When I think about the number of cars I have owned since first getting my license to date :
I've never considered one of them could have been worth good Big bucks much later when sold in all my years. I doubt anyone would unless they had the money to by a bargain known collectable at a low time.

Red LX A9X Torana hatch with 30K on the clock. Sold it in 1986 for $10,000.
Two years later, sold my red Targa Top Corvette Stingray. 1968 427 manual for $16,000. A year after that, sold my orange HX 308 manual Sandman Panelvan. All would now be worth a lot more than that.

I remember a few people painting them black. Saw one at the Summernats back in the 90s that was black and had the Calais lights. Looked much nicer
