What car did you own, and would give anything to have back - Page 7

Gordie Kissner · 12-12-2012, 01:03 PM

I have 3 but in no particular order.

1970 340 4spd Dart Swinger..Dark green w black bench seat guts. I've owned multiple 6bbl and Hemi cars but that 340 was an absolute kick and darn hard to beat stop light to stop light!

1966 Mustang 2+2..271/289 4spd. Paid $300 for it turn key out of a neighbors back yard in 78..Man would that 289 sing but darn 340's kept beating me so I traded it for one..lol!

1967 Mustang FB 390 C-6..390 was swapped out for a tuned 427 MR..won some pretty good money street racing back in the late 70's.

I would have to say my old SS/JA Volare (I think gordie still has), at the time, it was deadly consistant however, the driver sucked (me), once I figured all this out, it was too late.

After, I'd have to say driving Rod's '70 Dart and '72 Demon with stick really sold me. Miss shifting gears.....

In 1972,I was driving a 69 Z-28 back and forth to high school. I've never seen one like it, so I guess this would be my choice. It was Olympic Gold w/black stripes and a Rally sport to boot. And it had a black vinyl top. Kind of an ugly car, no wonder there were not many of them!.We took that little 302 out of it and stuck an L-88 in. Pretty nasty beast for a 16 year old kid. Ran 11.80's and back then that was stellar. Now it would be a sled....

I'm pretty much a dyed-the-wool mopar guy. I still have my favorite car. The car that I sold and wish I had back is a '56 Ford P/U, short bed, full back window with a 271/289 HiPro. I went through 4 transmission rebuilds in 2 years. That light duty truck 3 speed just wouldn't hold a cluster gear behind the high winding small block.

I've owned a hell of a bunch of cars through the years, but I'd have to say these were my favs....

'65 Malibu SS - L79 - White Exterior - 2 Tone Red Interior

'72 Impala 2 door coupe - 400" - Desert Sand Metallic - Tan Vinyl Top & Interior (24-25 mpg @ 75 mph) 18-19 mpg @ 55)

The 1967 Camaro RS in my avatar, sweet little 327, turbo 350, Dana 60 with 4.88s.
Fiberglass L88 hood....
Went countless rounds in that car, and won more street races than I can remember.
Sold it to take care of my family, would make the same decision today, but I miss that car every day.

Bob Emery · 12-14-2012, 01:13 AM

Like most on here, I've owned a bunch of cars, but there are two I'd love to have back:

'64 Sport Fury, 426 Stage 1 4spd

'66 Fairlane GTA

Being young wasn't always being smart!
