The car you once had, and wish you could find again...

[Chewbacca]

Which car did you once own, but had to sell due to life stage or financial reasons and wish you had again - maybe even try to find and buy back?

Mine would be my dad's 1982 BMW 320i in silver blue on tan cloth that was handed down to me

Unreliable, slow and rust everywhere.

But it had that old BMW smell, big steering wheel, manual sunroof, clear 4 guage cluster, and was RWD with a 4spd manual. I miss it.


What's yours?

I had a 62 ranchero in high school (2002) as a first car. It was awesome and it great shape. Wish i kept it forever.

Wasn't mine, but my buddy's '72 El Camino. He totaled it when he hydroplaned in the rain into a light pole.

I'd like my 2 "firsts" back:

• First vehicle: 1969 Ford Bronco
• First car: 1987 Buick Grand National

[Chewbacca]

Some real nice ones here.

[TheVTCGuy]

79 Trans Am.

[Lawman77]

1980 Toyota Corona.

[ttomczak]

1969 Mustang Mach 1. White with red interior and black hood. Got it in 73 when I got my license. Had it through half of College and it was hit by someone running a redlight in 78.

Then got my first Corvette, a 65 Tuxedo Black coupe. Drove it the rest of the time I was in college and after until 83.

1969 Ford XL, It was my parents car and I wanted it so bad for my first car, but it was sold. Have never seen one like it in color or accessories since.

[sekesq]

My parents' red TR3 convertible...they sold it when I was 16, over my protests...just because I didn't have my dad's mechanical skills.

[TheRolexKingofLV]

I sold my mint 70 Datsun 510 2dr a few years back...been kicking myself ever since! Loved that little car!

I guess if I had to pick just one, it’d be the ‘67 Ford GT-40 Mk.IV... after winning at Sebring it just never was competitive again.

But still have soft spots for the old ‘67 Yenko Camaro (first year of production) body in white. Sold it because a rust spot just ruined it for me.

And the ‘73 911 Targa Floria or the ‘64 Ferrari 250 GTO are hard to leave off the list....



The above is my homage to another thread on, well ya know, flexing hard to get things...

Now seriously...it would be a toss-up between a 911 and a 2002 that I had in the ‘70’s

I wish my dad had never sold the Daihatsu feroza we had when I was a kid, such great memories of that car.

79 Ply Arrow GT. Faster time than the mustang and I think the Trans AM for the same year. Such a cool car. Bought it new. No AC. 2.6L.

[brandrea]

My 1969 firebird convertible. It’s was a real junker, but when I drove that car I felt like king of the road

69 Bronco was my first as well. Sadly I was very young and didn't have the money to restore it the way I wanted. It was a great beach truck though. I owned it 3 yrs and sold it for a profit. I would love to buy the same truck now.

Definitely my 1985 Ford Mustang GT with the Dominator package. Such a fun car...

My first car, a 1997 BMW 328is, manual transmission.



SO many fond memories with that vehicle for the years I owned it. I would love to have one fully restored some day. Didn't even need to use the radio, the only music I wanted to hear when in this was the sound of that inline 6.

When I was first discharged from the Military in 1969 I found a job, got married and bought my first automobile. I couldn't afford a new one so I purchased a fire engine red, '67 Ford Galaxy 500, convertible with black leather interior, a built in 8 track player and a plexiglass back window. Needless to say this car was beautiful with a, big powerful 390, V8 engine. I miss that car even today. I've been lucky enough to own some great cars but this one really stood out as the best.

[Beo3]

My Dad's car from when I was a toddler. A 1961 Pontiac Bonneville convertible in Midnight black with a red leather interior.

I swear that car got my Mom to date him!

[joeychitwood]

My 1970 VW Beetle.

[jatco]

My 1971 MGB GT. A lot of memories in that car. Finicky in the wet tho...

Aston Martin DB7 Volante i6 ( 1997 ) sold and sadly missed

My old E60 M5 I had back in college. I don’t want it back, but do miss it at times. (Yes that’s possible). It was ridiculously loud with the headers. Threw bucket loads of money into it modifying (FBO, wheels, etc). I fear what the current owner is having to go through while it’s out of warranty lol.

I’m much happier to be honest with my current C63 Black Series.

‘67 corvette stingray 327

I inherited it when i was 23 and had no need or want for it at the time. Fast forward ~10 years and it’s one of my biggest regrets. Have tried tracking it down but no luck yet.

[Chewbacca]

Nice nice!!!
