Not that I'd actually want it back (too "old" in too many ways) but one of my favorite cars from days of yore was my 69 Cougar XR7 with the HO 351W.

For me it would have to be my very first car. A 1967 Pontiac LeMans. My dad bought it for me with my money for $250. 326 with a 3 speed on the floor. My second choice would have to be my '77 Bandit black & gold T-Top Trans Am. My wife would want her 1968 Camaro back I'm sure. Aaah the good ol' days. When life was simpler and cars were easy to work on.

1970 AMX - showroom brochure green Go-Pack with black hockey stripes. Scary fast after rebuild.
1973 Chevy Vega GT - seriously modded - I miss it every day.
1968 Charger R/T 440 4 speed Super Track Pack - restored it. A beast. Serious torque.
1948 Pontiac Streamliner 8 automatic - my college wheels - great car.
1978 Z/28 - it was beautiful. Black with gold stripes. Only car I ever ordered.
1985 Z/28 - 5 speed w/1974 L-82. So much fun to drive!
1985 Trans Am - nothing special but it matched the Z/28.
2009 Challenger R/T - slight mods. Really fun.
2009 Charger R/T - slight mods and reprogrammed. Fastest car I ever owned until my Z06.
1968 Firebird 400 4 speed - project driver.
1957 Imperial Crown Convertible - restored from nearly nothing. Beautiful car. I put a '57 300C engine in it. Ran very good.
1964 El Camino - handy and fun to own.
1980 El Camino - very comfortable and practical.
1975 El Camino Classic - the 454 was hard to beat from traffic light to traffic light. Very thirsty.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something...

I still have my 2002 Z06 and my 1980 resto-mod.

2000 S10 Xtreme. Sold it when my daughter was born.

1989 Corvette because it was my first one. I regretfully traded it for a POS Mustang.

I've loved all of my past cars...but the only one I would want back is my

67 GT390 Mustang Fastback....

A: because I spent so much money doing it up to show room condition

B: it would be an appreciating asset whereas my C5 is not

67 and 68 Mercury Cougars, I've had a few and they are my favorites. I just think what I could do to one today if I had another.

Just daydreaming.....

Wish I had never gotten rid of a 1971 Buick Gran Sport Stage 1 convertible. That car was a beast and is quite valuable today.

1964 olds 88, purchased 1981. Only would want it if someone restored it. Beautiful dash, enough chrome to show up a mile away and ride smooth as glass. Not to mention being able to lay down in the back seat with room to spare, yes sentimental value

I still have two of my dearest treasures. Dad bought the '56 chey in 1969 and gave it to me a few years ago. He also found the '45 jeep for me about 1991.
