This was my '69 Grand Prix I had owned since right out of high school, until a few years ago. When my wife and I got married, at the time, I didn't know she lived within a block of the original owner as I lived in a different city. Once he found out I had it, he drove me crazy wanting to buy it back. After a few years I finally sold it back to him. Regretfully. I sure do miss it and taking it to car shows.😟

Nice story Geno, other than losing a beautiful car. Maybe you can buy it back from him?

@carsman1958 Sadly John, he's moved away and I've lost touch with him.😥

Geno, I love the first year GP. The first time I saw one, I fell in love with the dashboard all centered on the driver.

@bob-jackman Those interiors really were like getting into a cockpit. I've owned several GP's over the years, including another '69, a '72 SJ 455, an '82 which I dropped a Pontiac 400 into. Man, was it fun picking on Monte Carlo SS's, IROC's, Mustang GT's, etc. and a 2000 GP GT.😊

That is one beautiful Grand Prix!! You did what was right for the time so don't ever look back - just let it go. I, too, could beat myself up over several cars that I probably never should have sold/traded. Such is life.

@perrone1 I'm with you Tony but I still have feelings for some I either built or restored myself.

I know how you feel Geno. When I retired in Surprise AZ I had to sell a 40 Ford and a 52 Chevy. Regrets, regrets but I did get a 1940 Chevy which turned out to be a winner. I love your GP. Nice ride! As soon as I figured out posting I will post it, Tom

Geno, that is one very beautiful Grand Prix. I can relate to your feelings of "what if?" I'd kept it. Those feelings are normal emotions. But they are also the keys to life with the memories that include them. The good thing is, you can't sell them! And when you talk about them, like you are here, don't you really feel the car still with you?
