If you could go back in time, what is the 1 car you wish you still had?

[1969chargerrtse]

Of all the cars I owned, and most being GM. The one I wish I kept would be this.  
I traveled from Ct to SC in the middle of a snow storm so bad I-95 was shut down.  It had factory 4:11's and I froze my feet off coming home as the heater was disconnected.  I sold it back in the mid 80's to someone in Stratford Ct and never saw it again.  I got it from hemmings for something like 3,800.00.  The writing info is from the back of one of the pics. The paint was original.

I wish for a 1960 Buick Electra. It was my dad's. I miss him. It's the car that he cruised in during the 60's and took me along when I was a kid. He was cool, I just didn't know it at the time.

He was always a Mopar man at heart. Cleveland Ohio in the 50's and 60's was a GM town, he really wanted an Imperial, said it was the finest ride, but he had to settle for the Buick. The Buick was nicer than the house we lived in. The pic isn't his car, we can't find any of his.

That's a thing of beauty....I'm quite partial to '70 Superbees and Coronets

Uh..............well   I still got my high skool car.............. Maybe my 1983 GMC 6.2 diesel cargo van..............

in australia the most valuable car is the 1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase 3. it was a special edition Falcon made basically to compete in racing. there was one sold 2-3 years ago for $750,000. if i had a time machine i'd go back to 1971 and buy one for $5,000.

I hope my kids talk that way about me when I'm gone one day.  Right now my daughter just thinks the Charger is ugly.

Not too far back in time i had my first child and i soon sold my 97 Jeep Wrangler because hauling a baby seat in and out of the back was not the easiest thing on my back.  I have missed that Jeep everyday since i sold it 5 years ago now.. 

[SnoPro440]

I still wish I had my 98 Ram.  I had a lot of fun in that thing.

[captnsim]

My old 1960 New Yorker Hardtop, 413 Golden Lion, push button trans with block-o-wood parking brake...The things I did in that huge back seat... 

Pic is not my car...Mine was black with a silver roof

you can totally adopt me and leave it to me if youd like, i will always remember you fondly, thats for sure.

[Chatt69chgr]

I'd like to have my 66 Fairlane 390 GTA back.  Would love to put a 427 in it.

[mauve66]

my 1st car, 74 RR

[John_Kunkel]

Ignore the Harley in the foreground but this is the only pic I have of my loaded '67 New Yorker, I junked it out because the parts were worth more than the whole car during the first "gas crisis". Dumb, dumb, dumb.....

[TheGhost]

My 67 Barracuda.

[Charger RT]

If I could go back in time I would have taken a differant route home and not hit the patch of ice on the curve and totaled my blue 383 2bbl 69 charger. It was my second car. I still have the hood and doors and some other parts from it after 29 years. I even moved 1200 miles and took them with me.

When I was about 2 years out of high school, I owned a 1977 Toyota Celica ST. That was a fun car to own. I ended up borrowing it to my sister when her and her husband needed a vehicle because their's broke down. Long story short, they ended up using it to trade in on another vehicle. It was this model and color, but this is not my old car.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

My 1967 Coronet R/T. I'd still have it if I hadn't pulled a stupid stunt at 110 mph on a two lane.  

[472 R/T SE]

1969chargerrtse, I see you wrote rear deck lid spoiler on the piece of paper, was it coded for it?

That Bee of yours was similar to mine.  Mine was a bench seat non air hood though.

That car & my blue 4 gear Charger I prolly miss the most.  The ability to drive either one makes missing them a moot point.

[68charger383]

Probably my 70 Cuda, 440+6, 4spd with a 410 Dana....vitamin C with a white interior and black vinyl roof...very nice ride.

Everything on the car was original so I'd bet 100% it was.  Back then I didn't  know nuttin about tags.

My '71 Maverick Grabber. Had a full race 351 Cleveland in it, auto on the floor with bucket seats. (you dont see many Mavericks with factory buckets and automatic on the floor). The engine was way to much engine for the car, but it was a blast to drive.

[greenpigs]

I haven't had many cars but I would have kept the 73 Monte Carlo my dad offered to me. I didnt want to fix the rust.

I love the 73 Monte.  Round headlamps with big swoopy fenders.

[RusTy/SE]

Not because of this site's name but i'd like to have kept this 70 Charger R/T. The car was on a vacant lot across the street from a local service station and i was able to purchase it for $300; it was not as bad as it looks.



As non-Mopars go, I owned this 77 El Dorado in the late eighties. With just 43K little-old-lady-miles on the odometer when my name went on the title, this one was a sweet cruiser. Recliner size front seats and a couch out back, I only added a Blaupunkt stereo. The ladies couldn't get enough of it
