Well, your right in understanding that anything sold at a profit from your tax basis would create gain income, including a car or such. And I'm sure all of us are alert to, and report that faithfully.

It's complicated by the fact most people may not track their basis (especially tax basis) on items of personal property. But, as your question acknowledges the acquisition was done as a qualified gift, (presumably by parents or such), virtually all of those transfers include the recipient getting a "stepped up basis", that is the basis at market value at time of transfer to you. That is presumably higher (as the car is worth lesds now) than the amount your selling it for. Hence, no income. (In fact a loss on sale of a personal asset, which cannot be used).

Do we have to say gifted for or gifted at?

As in being innately skilled at something? Gifted at. "Justine is gifted at languages, but not sports." Conversely, though, you would say that someone has a gift for something. "Lucas has a gift for public speaking." If you can, try to use the word without 'for' or 'at'. She is a gifted athlete, or he is a gifted speaker. Sometimes, 'gifted in' sounds best.
