There's been a few, but I always think about the 1969 Mach I that I traded straight up for a 1971 Gremlin. At the time I need gas milage (because gas got up to 53 cents a gallon) and back then the mustang was no big deal. Kinda funny, kinda sad, when I look back. Oh well.

Luckily I still have two nice fastback Mustangs, a 67 ''S'' code and my 65 GT.

None as everyone I have ever owned is still in my possession. The only exception is an '80 Civic that wore out it's camshaft at 100,000 and which is why I haven't owned one since. It's replacement, an '86 Mazda 626, is still in my possession also except it is not on my list below.
There are a bunch of cars that I was able to use as company cars during the 70's which helped preserve "my" cars and the one I really liked in that group was a Duster with the Slant-6 and relaible as can be.

and all of my 60 era red line Mattel hot wheels, and that fold up garage and that big plastic wheel carrying case and those metal clip things that came with the cars.
I would have a downpayment for my next car.
