Cars You Wish You Wish You Had Kept!

out of all the cars I've gotten rid of I would say that I most regret selling the 65 Nova SS with only 9,ooo made it was the rarest of the Nova ss 'sbesides the '75. Mine had a mighty mouse 327 in it and it was so light in the ass I had to weld rods in the trunk and add weights for racing. Man thatthing flew I won many a race on Connecting Highway.............

Here's a story:<p>In the early 90s through a friend we lucked into a low miles, garage kept 1984 Z28 white/red strip hard top that was freakin' fast as hell!!! <img src="http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/images/smilies/drivingz.gif"></p><p>Misplaced our pictures of her in our move out, crap! Gosh, we really miss our Z for record pacing trips to Vegas baby!! <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif"><img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif"></p><p>End of story: She was stolen from us in the mid 90s and allegedly used as a "chase" or decoy car in a Camaro/Firebird theft ring in SoCalaccording to policeman in charge of the case.</p><p>She was found totally intact a couple months later, but with 4 bald tires holy cow! <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif"> (that were near new at time of thief) and several thousands highlyabused miles added, so our insurance payed us off.</p><p>RIP to our Z <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tired.gif"></p><p>Lance</p>

<blockquote> a low miles, garage kept 1984 Z28 white/red strip hard top that was freakin' fast as hell!!!</blockquote>If it was fast as hell it wasn't stock. The strongest motor in an '84 Z put out a whopping 190 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque. Wanna hearsomething scarier? When I first met my wife, she drove an '83 Firebird with an in-line 4 in it - HUGE numbers! 92 hp and 134 lb-ft of torque. Biggestpiece of crap...<br><br>Doug<br>

I had a few back in the day. They were easy to come by and cheap. Only if i had a brain, i would have kept a few. BUT!? I would say my favs were<br><br>68 Charger<br>70 Cuda<br>70 Chevelle

The one I wish I had kept was my 70 Olds Cutlass convertible SX. I've always regretted selling that car, but she needed a motor overhaul, and she neededpaint, and I wasn't in a position to put dough into her. She sat in the garage a lot. I'd break her out on a nice Spring day, blow the carbon out,and respin balance the rear tires!!! It was an interesting car, 455, auto, air, power bench seat, and the highly coveted 8 track player that actually worked. I miss that car...<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/ohwell.gif" alt="image"><br>

1967 GTO, single 4 barrel carb, BRIGHT red.

Doug! Stock or not-- Whatever.. We got the most outta that baby trust me man. And wifey btw didn't let anyone out gun her at the "red light"launch <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif"><p>That's pretty much why she alone got two speeding tickets in a few years together <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif"></p><p>But fun trips to Vegas were lightning quick up I-15 back in our younger, and dumber days <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif"> Memories make us miss that car <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif"></p><p>Lance</p>

Hey Lance, certainly no offense meant by my post - after all, I admitted that my wife had actually made the <span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">conscious</span> decision to buy a 4-popper '83. I just don't remember the early 3rd generationF-bodies evoking performance - if I recall correctly, a friend's '84 Z took almost 7 seconds to hit 60 and turned the quarter in 16 something at about85 mph. That's why I'm assuming that yours wasn't stock...<br><br>However, compared to everything else available at the time, the '84 faired pretty well:<br><blockquote> Road &amp; Track selects the '84 Camaro as 1 of 12 best cars in the world along with the Firebird. It won Best Sports GT category in the $11,000 to $14,000 range. Car and Driver selects the 1984 Chevy Camaro Z28 as the best handling car built in the United States.</blockquote>As for cars I wish I had kept, I know that I've posted these before, but I'd still love to have the opportunity to get ANY one of themback.<br><br>My first car ever (I remember swearing that they'd bury me in this one):<br><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/sunburninaz/My%20Cars/Camaro3.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>For whatever reason, I sold the SS to buy this:<br><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/sunburninaz/My%20Cars/2401.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>Which was followed with this:<br><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/sunburninaz/My%20Cars/Bird1.jpg" alt="image"><br><br><br>I traded the 240Z for this (had it at the same time as "Flinby" and decided, once again for whatever reason, that I didn't need 2 cars and soldit):<br><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/sunburninaz/My%20Cars/55side.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>And then the "monster truck" craze hit and I sold the Firebird to buy this (small block 350, Bronco axles, 10" lift with 40" tires):<br><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/sunburninaz/My%20Cars/LUV1.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>And frankly, while the newer cars I've had since are definitely nicer with more creature comforts, etc., I kick myself for selling each and every one ofthese...<br><br>Once again, no offense meant, Lance!<br><br>Doug<br>

^^Doug wow! that orange Camaro is killer! And the '55! Yikes and Zowie!

A 1969 olive Cuda, it was my sisters first car she hated it because she wanted a newer model, my dad only gave $500.00 for the car. I would give anything tohave that car right now.
