Well...we have a thread on the First car ya ever had, and it got me wondering aboot sumptin....
Most of us went on to tell about other cars we had "back then", and a lot of them are now quite collectible/valuable.
So....here's my query....
What's the ONE car/truck ya'll had you wished you still had?
I think my most favoritest car I ever had, and the one that would be the most valuable today would have to be the '66 Hemi Charger I had when I was prolly 17-18...
That's the ONE I would like to still own today....
Next?

Joel, I had a RED 1965 Mustang 2+2 Fastback 4 speed 289 
with RED interior when I was in High School/College. I sold it in 1981 to our next door neighbor for $3000.

Before I ended up with the '72 Vette earlier this year, I tracked the guy down and found out he still has the car. It's been sitting in his garage since 1989. I asked him if he would sell it and he gave the same response alot of well meaning classic car owners have, i.e., "I'm gonna restore it someday"
. Oh well I am really enjoying my Vette. Would have been nice to have the Mustang back because my wife and I dated in that car.

I "upgraded" to a 76 Vette with a weak 350 and auto trans. I thought I did good...back then.

Joel, Thanks for starting an interesting post! The one that I had that got away was a '69 427 Corvette Coupe 4 speed with factory side exhaust. That was a keeper!! Also had '69 Olds 442 that slipped away.

Can't decide:
1968 Impala 300hp 350
1959 Chevy Pickup Big Back Glass
1964 1/2 Mustang Convertible
Then there was the 1973 Pinto with fat 50"'s on the back and 78's on the front and a 12 ft. whip antenna. Looked like a remote control car.

Like my big brother ^^^^ I had a 66 Mustang through high school and college. I sold it to help pay college expenses. Its story didn't end up as well. The buyer bought it for his 16 year old son, but I could tell it was the dad's dream car, not the kid's. I heard through the grapevine about a year later that it had been badly wrecked.
Oddly it may have been the same neighbor who bought Roger's Mustang that planted the Corvette seed. He also had a 77 Corvette in Dark Blue.
