What car is the one you would like to have back. For whatever reason you don't have it and would do anything to have back in the herd.:cool:

For me it was a nice 78 Sport Coupe. Gold with tan interior. V8 turbo if I can remember back then. Had a big old Quadrajet sitting right on top of the valve cover!!!:eek:

Which is yours?
 
73 Nova Custom Daytona Blue w/irrid flake paint, 355, turbo 350, ps, pb, a/c..

R32 Skyline I had in Japan.......

65 Dodge coronet w/ a factory 383 PI, 904, radio delete:eek: . Had no idea how rare it was at the time
 
I gotta admit, the Regal is the coolest car Iv'e owned yet and it hasn't gotten away. :biggrin:
 
I would have to say my 87 Grand National. I was young, dumb and well you know the rest. Didn't know much about these cars at all. I was 19. Blew 2 sets of headgaskets, broken transmission, got pissed and sold it. It always seemed like the car was broken down sitting in the garage more than I was driving it. I take complete resposibility. Driver ignorance. I have learned from my mistakes. I think!:biggrin:

I bought the car for $8500 back in 1996. Sold it for 6500. It was a T-top car. Really miss it. Especially when the guy that bought it drives it thru town once and a while.

Oh well. Can't turn back time now. At least I found another TR a couple of years later and I still have that.
 
My 69 Nova SS, 396/375. Bought it new, sold it two years later, new owner wrecked it.:mad:
 
That's an easy one. My first car, a 1957 2 door 210 sedan Chevrolet. White over Seafoam green. Paid a whole $400 for it, drove it for a year and sold it for the same $400.
 
I had 2 I'd like to have back. A 1968 1/2 R code 428 Cobra Jet GT fastback Mustang,and a 1969 428 R code Cobra Jet Mach1
 
Mine is the "one I should have bought to begin with" back in 1990. I wasn't big into MOPARs when I was 15. Didn't know much about 'em at all. Unless it was the General Lee, I really didn't care too much. But I had a chance to get an "old blue Plymouth for $4k... 440 Magnum, 4-speed and VERY clean". All I knew about the car at the time is it had a slanted nose and a big-ass wing on the back. Like I said, I was clueless. As the story goes, a local kid had inherited the car from his grandfather and didn't really want it. He let it go cheap. I missed out on it cause I just HAD to have a 1978 Trans Am instead. So my car that got away was a Bird of a different breed.

Stupid me. :eek:
 
My 1982 1/2 Grand National Turbo powered 1 of 16. Was stolen back in 86, recovered 4 days later on its frame, wheels and tires, t-tops, stereo, tools gone and a bat taken to the hood and trunk lid. Insurance totalled it and would not let me buy it back. Saw it 6 months later in a parking lot:mad:

2nd would be my 86 GN I had for almost 17 years:(

Back in it now wuth the limited:)
 
I have one should bought and one wish I kept. In the late 80's I had the opportunity to by a 1970 Chevelle LS6 454 with 38k orig miles. $2500. My friend and I were going to buy it together but changed our mind. In 1988 I bought a 88 Dodge Daytona with the CS package (2.2 Liter Turbo) 5 speed. I beat that poor car and eventually traded it in. That was a fun car and recently found out quite rare with the package I had.
 
Car

I had a 1984 Mustang SVO that I absolutely loved. I don't remember why I sold it but will get another one some day. I also really miss my 1992 Yamaha Vmax w/nitrous. Damn kids!!!!!!:mad:
 
Lots of cars I wished I still had....

My 84 Regal....was a solid rust free FL car....nothing special. But it was a survivor. Not some hacked up donked out hot rodded lowered car. Drove nice too. Slow as a pig.

71 Nova 4 speed....only because I could use the 4 speed parts for my 69 Nova

71 Chevelle....had to sell it, but I had a lot of soul in that car. Lost 1/4 of my ass on it in the sale.

84 S-10....what's so special about an S-10? Well it had a V8....ok still what's so special? Well it wasn't beat up like most S-10's are and it was the lightest S-10 made: curb before the V8 was 2500 lbs, the V8 put it at 2700 curb. All steel body too. Would run consistent 13's all day long. In reality it was a hard to find truck as most came filled with all the luxuries and weighed over 3000 lbs. If I still had it, I would build a nice 400 sbc for it, then I'd be in the 11's traction providing.


81 Capri..like a mUstang, 6 cyl car....,.if I still had it, it would have a 347 stroker, C4 trans and a 3.73 rear.
 
63 1/2 Ford Galaxy

True "R" code car 427 w/2-4bbl 4-speed Red with white top. Sod it to a guy that used it as a "parts" car to restore his 390 convertible!
