Like others have said, don't look back. Buy something you can use with the money. My rule is if the car sits more than a year and I haven't gotten onto the project I sell it to someone who can use it.
My parents know someone who has at least 75 cars rotting away in sheds and outside at his place. Most are pure junk, such as a '79 or so Toyota Celica with rust to the middle of the doors, or a 4 door Valiant in similar shape. He has half a dozen '49-'54 Chevy trucks, and a bunch of '60-'65 Chevys, but it's all rusted midwestern junk, may have run 20 years ago when it was dragged in, but the blocks are likely cracked from winter freeze and the mice have gotten the wiring and upholstery. In about 1980 my dad tried to buy a '64 half ton GMC from him as our '66 stepside (with the 301 V6) was rusted to the point it was unsafe to drive. He wouldn't sell anything. I was deer hunting on his land last week and I saw that same truck, now with four flats rusted into the tall grass, the wood bed rotted away and a poplar tree grown through the bed. What a shame.

That was 10 years before I was born, so I grew up thinking that 8N was the world's best tractor. Grandpa had greenhouses, with over half an acre under glass, and that 8N did almost everything.
