What car do you look back at and wish you had kept?
What car do you look back at and wish you had kept?
My pick would be my 1970 Corvette, I bought it right out of high school and did a frame off restoration and completely rebuilt the motor in the car. It was a 454 big block, 4 speed, black leather interior, t-tops. After the rebuild the car made a little over 600hp and so much torque it was crazy lol. Talk about a fun car to drive. I ended up selling it to a close friend that begged me for it for years.

Re: What car do you look back at and wish you had kept?
This was the first car I ever owned and one of my favorites. Its was a 1969 Ford Torino GT w/351W and it basically was a trouble free car in the 120,000 miles I put on this car and it had 160,000 miles on it when I got rid of it I only changed a water pump and an alternator and I think only one battery. I've been thinking about looking for another one this time a convertable.

Re: What car do you look back at and wish you had kept?
up until i bought my Jeep 9 years ago, all i had was junk...a few crappy GM's, and my '90 Sundance. actually the Plymouth wasn't a bad car, i got 170,000 miles out of it before i sold it. i had more money in the four sets of tires i went through and the radio then i did in (non-maintenance) repairs.
so until i sell the SRT-6, the Wrangler, or my J-truck, i won't have that seller's remorse.

'85 Pontiac Firebird. No matter if I was sliding threw ditches and into a field (accidently ofcourse), or just driving in a snow blizzard up here in Canada. The car never left me stranded. I ended up parking and the end of my street one day (its a dead end road) and someones grandma t-boned the driver door pushed it into the barrier. the car was no match for a suburban. so I scraped it

1970 Challenger 440 six pack. My first day back from Viet Nam. I worked with dad to order and pay cash for it, it was delivered just before I got home. Dad went and picked it up and had it parked in the garage when I got home.
