Where do I start? I guess chronologically.

1955 T-Bird w/ Continental kit, 3-speed
1962 Impala SS Convertible, 327/300 hp black on black, auto
1967 Plymouth GTX 440, black/black, manual
1969 Plymouth Roadrunner 383 Tor-red(Hemi Orange)/Black, manual
1969 Plymouth Roadrunner 440/ 6bbl, Vitamin C Orange/ Black, manual
1970 AAR Cuda, 340-6 pack, Limelight/black, manual
1971 Mercury Cougar, 429 Super Cobra Jet, Black, Green, manual
1973 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus, 400 (Police Intercepter), Midnight Blue, white, auto

I'm sure there's more. See, if you're old, you can go back quite a ways.

And have many regrets!

Being a certified card carrying "old Fart" I have owned a lot of cars. Three come to mind. My 1960 Thunderbird. It had the only factory 3-speed stick I ever saw. My 1978 Monte Carlo and my 82 chevy Van. A Chevette ran a stop light and totalled my van. She was flying. Had no registration and no insurance. I think the cop is still writing.

My '67 Mustang GT Convertible.

My father's biggest regret, which he rehashes every January/February around the Barrett Jackson auction is his '68 Shelby GT500KR fastback.

Easy...my last car. It was a 2000 Trans Am - Bright Red, that I bought new about 6 months out of college. I had to make the call on whether to keep the paid-off T/A with almost 100k miles on it and pay a little over 4k in maintenance and repairs or get the mint condition SRT-6 with only 2800 miles on it, requiring a trade-in of my beloved T/A. If I could have afforded it, I would have kept the T/A and bought the SRT-6. I'd be lying if I said I never miss it, but when I do I just get in the SRT-6 and hit the fast button

I will, at some point in my life, own another Red 2000 Trans Am.

1967 Chevy Nova SS, blue with black vinyl roof! It was my first car back in 1971 and I didn't know any better when I traded it in for a regular 1971 Nova.

I do miss my first car, a 1969 Chevy Impala with the 350. It was fast enough for a 16 year old!


I also had a 1987 Chevy Camaro which I drove the wheels off. It wasn't a Z28, but the chicks still dug it!
