1955 Chevy convertible w/265" V8 3 speed. It was my high school car that carried me through my first real love. On my way to school on the first day of college I was racing a corvette, encountered a patch of gravel and hit a telephone pole broadside at about 70 MPH. Literately tore the car into two pieces. The drivers door was ripped off and I was tossed out, almost. What saved my life was my foot getting caught between the clutch pedal and the brake pedal so I didn't go all the way out. I survived, barely, the car didn't.
Were it in my garage today, without the pole incident, it would be priceless.
Wish I had my 2000 Trans Am 6 speed back. Sold it like a fool, was dating a chick at the time that traveled with horses, I bought an F150 to "fit in", whatever the hell that means. She cheated on me 2 months later. Miss the car, not her.
My wishes:
Wish I had my dad's 1961 Impala 2 door bubble top back. He bought it new in March of 61. 283, 4BBL, 3 on the tree with factory overdrive. Had the power pack, so it had dual exhaust. He drove it thru the mid 80's, sold it after I graduated high school in 1991. Had over 240,000 miles on it, still looked good.
In addition, i'll take a 1070 Buick GSX Stage 1
1967 Chevy II Nova with an LS-7, 6 speed
1965 Chevelle SS
1991 Syclone. Some dirty rat stole it 6 months into my ownership. By that time prices went stupid high on them so I never nought another one. But prices really have not gone crazy you can pick up really nice models for 10-14k
The other one is a late 80s Gmc. It was the first car my wife and I bought together. But I got it back. I'm driving it to and from work. Someday I may do a complete restoration on it even though its nothing special edition or model. But for now I'm just driving it.
I would have killed that bastard if I found him. Definitely one of my dream vehicles.

Oh believe me I was pretty steamed. Especially after the cops found the carcass. And I mean carcass. All that was left was a bare frame and a bare cab. They found it from the VIN. There was NOTHING else. I mean bare frame no suspension no axles no bed no wiring no bumpers no doors no windows no interior. But the insurance paid 5k more than I initially paid because they got popular. I guess there is some guy with a fake Syclone running around.
another car i wouldnt mind having back is my old 79 fairmont. it had the 302 in it.
