What is the one car you wish you had back.

Had a 51 cad. hearse. Always wanted to remove 4 feet from the center making it a three door.

Also regret selling my 57 Chrysler 300C.
 
added a 69 RR

I can't choose just 1

1st my 1st 68 Charger R/T

very close 2nd my 23 Altered,
I loved that racecar, not sure why I got rid of it to this day,
sold it on a stupid whim, it had like 6-7 different engine combos in that car IIRC,
Pete Jackson FI 301ci SBC, a Blown Enderle FI SBC, a Enderle or a Crower FI BBC,
a Blown Enderle FI BBC, a Blown FI Milodon Mastodon 526ci & 540ci combos

3rd my last Silver/Black 68 RR 479ci N20 street/strip car,
that I sold to a friend about 5-6 or so years ago now, needed $$$ to pay taxes &
I also had my current 68 RR, but now I have to do everything all over...LOL

4th or my 49 Ford Pro-Gas car, 496ci BBC, man that car was fun,
she had tunnel & an Enderle Bug Catcher Hat 1st with a Powerglide,
then a Blower with an old style 4 port Hilborn FI 540ci all alum Donovan/Brodix BBC,
then a Milodon Mastodon 526ci Alky Hemi/Jeffco/Crowerglide clutch

5th it's a tossup too my 71 Camaro 321ci SBC Alum Donovan 8.90 Super Comp
6th or my 67 Camaro 468ci BBC Brodix 8.90 S/C & 7.90 Super Eliminator car
7th or my 89 Camaro Calif. Outlaw Pro-Stock multiple different BBC/Lenco combos

8th-10th a toss up either any of my 92/94 or my 2000 Trans Am's
T/S & Calif. Outlaw P/S 499ci-540ci/Lenco N20 or blown cars

11th my 1st Power Wagon a 66 with a 440 4 speed,
I got right after my 1st Charger

12th my 99 Dakota R/T 408 stroke, Alum. heads & Powerdyne supercharged lowered & tons of suspension mods, great street truck

man I could go on & on,
any of my 12 Chargers, any of my other 12 RR's {on #13},
or any of my 26 Racecars that weren't covered

Hell I wish I even had pitchers even of some of them still,
too many moves, too many years to cover...

Hell I'd love to have a couple of my old trailers & tow rigs back too...

what can I say, "I'm sick...LOL"
step 1; admitting you have a problem

I'm Budnicks & I'm addicted to cars/trucks, I'm a self proclaimed gearhead...
I loved & miss them all... Even the Fords & GM's

The 2 I regret selling were:

1. My first car, a 1970 Chevelles SS396. Black Cherry with white stripes, Cowl Induction hood and an M21 trans. Went off to college and it went for sale. I think about it every day.
2. My 2001 Mustang Bullitt #851. Great car but I'm just too big for fox body Mustangs!
 
my 70 charger r/t and my 74 roadrunner. one is long gone and the other, I ask the guy about once a year if he is ready to sell it back to me.
 
1970 Dodge Challenger SE/RT Go-Mango, Black vinyl roof with that fantastic "opera rear window"
440 Magnum, Slap-Stick, AC
 
'69 Coronet 500 convertible, Bronze with white top and gut, 383, automatic, a/c and hard loaded. :cry:
 
1968 Charger R/T 440. kept blowing fusible links, and traded straight across for a Honda N360! what the ef was i thinking!

Few cars I wish could have back again but mostly my 70 Charger R/T it was a 440 6 pack, track pack car, brown with tan interior, I only had it for a year or so in the mid 80's.
 
I still have dreams of my 1966 Mustang fastback. 1974-75 In my dream I think I should go get that car and drive it more.
 
Actually, there's two I wished I had back.....

My very first car...70 GTX 440-4bbl, 4-speed console, fresh air hood, B5 blue, black top and black interior. Paid $500 for it in 1975.....

And a 70 RoadRunner 2-door post, bench seat, 4-speed, numbers matching 383, FE5 red, no vinyl top. Paid $2300 for it in 2001. Sold it to a guy in Lawton OK in 2003.....

If my leg had two knees, I'd kick myself in the ***...... :D
 
[QUOTE="If my leg had two knees, I'd kick myself in the ***...... :D[/QUOTE]"

Rick......i feel You Man...kick me please...& when You're done...do it again
 
My 1965 Plymouth Red on black with black vinyl top and 383 4 speed 3.91 sure grip car. Pops gave it to me. Wasnt the fastest thing and was tired with worn interior and primer paint but I loved it at age 17-19 and sold it to put the 440 in my 66 charger. Bone head move.
 
My '68 Road Runner, sold it to pay for the new '75 Corvette I ordered in the PX in Germany when getting out of the Army in November '72. My Dad sold the car for me and I have no clue where it went. Was painted black (by the guy that painted the Sox and Martin cars) from the original silver and the cloth seats were replaced with '70 B Body buckets. Hurst Competition Plus shifter added.
