My sister had one. She wishes she still had it too, but it was rusting and the engine was due for an overhaul.
Oh man I was sooooo stupid. 17 years old and I got rid of it because I wanted something that didn't use oil. "Palm smack forehead" oh to be young again.
I'll throw in one more.
04 tiburon
V6 5spd sunroof and a bunch of custom stuff done to it. Had ps2 installed and was working on installing desktop computer in trunk and connecting it to in dash flipout screen
Shouldn't have traded it in for a suzuki sx4 just should have learned to slow down.
I did take the suzuki out to a local "trail" and had it on three wheels. Got stuck later and thus led to my quest of learning about all off-road stuff. Didn't even know the difference between awd and 4x4 back then

my 64 valiant that i put a 440 in. needed quarters but other then that it was clean. back then they were a dime a dozen. kinda wish i still had that...
my 68 coronet. always think of that one.. love those 68's.
or my 79 lil red. fun truck. though it would be kinda small for the family these days..lol
yes only 78 and 79. 2000 made in 78 and 5000 made in 79. 78 was faster and had different size wheels front and back. no cats on a 78 either.
The Lil Red Express fell into the GVW category of vehicles classified as Heavy Duty or HD. Anything given a 6800Lb rating or better, I believe they only had this for a few years 77 to 84 I think. All the engines had for emissions was a crankcase breather, PCV, and stovepipe.
I had a 77 K5 that had this rating, fell between a big 10 and a 3/4 ton.
Played H%*! in Cali getting it smogged the first time.
My car(s) I wish I still had, an 85 Plymouth Reliant 2Dr with a 2.2 fun little car....... The other a 1994 Mazda 929 outran a 04 honda with one bank of the engine 180degrees out, could also from a standing 80 be doing 125 and climbing in about 2.5-3 seconds, wicked fast.

1970 Chevelle. LS5.
I found it in the garage of a neighbor whose lawn I cut every week when I was a kid in Jax. FL.
He sold it to me for $1500. I was 14, so my dad and I worked on the car and restored it over the next 4 years. I drove it to my HS graduation in 1990. It also went on my honeymoon in 1992. It was my DD until 1993 when my son was born, and responsibility took over for desire. I sold it for $28,000, and used the money to buy a house.
10 years later, I saw her again in a classic car dealership in Seattle WA.
Yeah, I cried a bit, but was glad she still looked like she did when I handed the keys over.
Oh, I've got a really good one, Razzo! For about 15 years I cared for Cisitalia 004 SMM, known as Razzo back in the day, 1947. That is the one I most miss of all the cars and bikes through the years that is the ONE!
dc
some cars and trucks and a bunch of bikes......
I wish I would not have sold my 1988 Iroc-Z with only a little over 51,000 original miles, its was a dream car for me. I had to part ways because it just sat in the garage collecting dust BUT....the main reason for selling it was because I got a offer on it that was almost twice what I bought the car for..... I sure do miss it though.
It belongs to a friend, its a satellite all original as well I believe it has somewhere around 80K miles with a 318. I took this picture the day we drove to the NHRA U.S. Nationals with a few other local muscle car guys... There arent many good things about living in Indiana, but living here is awesome when the NHRA Nationals come around.
Most recently, I really regret giving up my '68 Fairlane, 2dr formal roof, with the fresh beefed up drivetrain from my wrecked '87 GT.
Quite a few more distant memory cars I regret selling. Right off the top of my head;
'58 AMC Rambler Super American
'72 Mercury Comet w/ 55K miles
Black on black '70 Mustang fastback 4spd
'78 T/A former highway patrol car
'64 327 Impala
'91 5.0 LX w/ 35K miles
That doesn't include the cars I wrecked, lol, and really wish I still had!
