If you could

Since George has been reviving some of the old threads, I thought I would create a new one. Or, at least, I hope it's a new one.
Here's the point. Most, if not all of us have had cars they wish they still had. Some were just nice cars. Some were classics. Some were first cars. You get the picture. Post up some, or all of those cars you wish you still had or could get back.. Tell us when you had it, your age, at the time, original cost and what it might be worth, to you and in value, if you still had it.

I'll start with:My 1935 Ford 3 Window coupe. It was the first car I bought, after high school. I paid $400 in 1966. I was 17. I traded it for a motorcycle, about 2 years later. In part because it had starting issues, ( I later found was nothing but a condensor), and my girlfriend hated it. On average, today it would be worth around $40,000. That and the fact it is such a classic, I'd love to have it back,
My 1966 Ford Fairlane GT. It was the third car I bought, after school. (I had a 64.5 Mustang between the coupe and the Fairlane). I was 19 and knew Uncle Sam was looking for me. I traded the Mustang and another $700 for it. I'd like to have it back, mostly for the current value. Again, probably around $40,000
My 1970 Torino Cobra. I bought it about 10 months after returning from NKP Thailand, (Uncle Sam found me). I bought it from a friend, used, (1 year), for $2,000. Again, I'd like to have it back, mostly because of it's current value, ($35,000 to $40,000). I sold it because I got married to a woman with three kids and bought a station wagon. A 1973 Pinto, Station Wagon!!!
My 1954 F100. I bought it to flip. I paid $1,200 for it, in 1975 and sold it three months later for $2.200. Again, current value is why I'd like to have it back.
My 1973 Datsun 240Z. I bought it right after I separated from my wife. If I recall, I paid $2,500 in 1981 and sold it a year later for about $3,000. I'd like to have it back because of the cool factor and, of course, the current value.
My 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback. I bought it as a project car in 1986. I did a little to it, got it running, replaced the 2 barrel with a 4 barrel, new carpet and seat vinyl. I got another divorce and had quit a job, in 1991, so I sold it for $4,000. I'd like to have it back for all the obvious reasons.

There ya go! Your turn.

My wrangler just because of all the fun I had in it.

And lastly my 2004 F250. It was paid off and just needed some love..... and a new powerplant. That 5.4 was gutless.
