Too many to list but I had some doozies:

Aluminum block Vega (cracked for some reason)
Ford Pintos (qty 2)

Fondest memories were 71 and 72 Camaros in my teens. If I knew they go for $15,000 today I wouldn't have sold for $500. (Everybody has at least one of those regrets)

There is a lot of good people and good info on this forum but c'mon. This topic is just a waste of forum space and brain use.

How about a topic called "list all the cars you have never owned" Now that would be a real fun one.

windy, just a double-check here on the '55 "Impala . . . "

I believe the top of the line in 55-56 was a Bel-Air, Impala didn't come out til 57 or 58. And "big old wings"? Was it a '59?
