I have two cars that I wish I could get back: 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator 428SCJ, C-6, I could trash a set of rear tires in a weekend! The other car I wish I had back was a 1974 VW Thing! This car was so cool, I could pick up more girls when I drove this car than any other vehicle I ever owned.(It takes %$&@# to drive a Thing)

Well I didn't exactly sell it, my parents sold it without telling me when I went off to a school that didn't allow me to have a car till my junior year. It was a '92 F150 ext cab 300 I6 5spd. It was the best truck I ever owned. I have since forgiven my parents but not a day goes by that I don't wish I had it back.

70 VW Karmen Ghia
coolest car VW ever made
sold it for $100 10 years ago because cancer had gotten the better of it (mostly in the body but the arm the front shocks mounted it had blown out and both sides needed replacing). i see it tooling around all the time now with new paint
Well I didn't have time to do all the work, glad somebody did

I had a 1970 Opel GT factory race car man that thing was fast and fun to drive after many trips to the inspection station. I finally got it street legal. Then $$$$$ was tight and I got rid of it and the old lady hated it for a mear $900.00 it was one of 3 1970 Opel GT Factory race cars that came into the country. I picked it up at a auction out here in AZ at the GM proveing grounds. GM just never did anything with them because I guess road raceing just wasn't in the budget back then. man I miss that car

Would like to have several of them back, but the one I would like most was my '59 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.

I had a 1973 Mercury Montego GT with a 351 CJ and a toploader 4 speed. This was a very rare Montego fastback.

1973 F350 camper special that my Uncle bought new with 390/C6. My cousin bought it from him and transplanted a 1970 460 from a Lincoln with DOVE heads, Edelbrock Torker manifold, headers, and C6 a/t. I bought it from him and other than adding a new battery and a/c it was nearly new. That truck was a tank!! never... NEVER listen to your wife... I'm gonna go cry now...

My first car - a 1974 Mustang II hatchback. What a car! I remember making many a GTO owner cry for mercy when that wild 86HP 2.3 liter four got on the cam! Oh well, at least it was a four-speed.
