1976 F150 SWB 4x4. Had it 8 years and put 130k of the 180k miles it had on it. 360 auto fulltime fwd. I did the math once on how 130000 miles at an average of 8 mpg is a lot of gas (money). Would like to have it back just for the memories.

1953 F-100. Short bed. (slightly)newer 223 and a 3-speed. There probably wasn't a single unnecessary bolt on the entire rig.

A ratty silver '68 Barracuda. Still no fun finding the parts it needed.

My 76 International Scout tops my list.

My 76 International Scout tops my list.

I had a 78 Scout, 345 V8, HD clutch, T19, D44 Trac-loc rear, 3.54 gears, painted school bus yellow (yes, I ordered it that way...LOL).

Put over 200K on it, replaced the radiator, front brakes twice, rear brakes once, and the battery once.

Man, what I wouldn't give to have it back!!!

Shwinn Stingray, metallic orange with a matching metal flake banana seat, chrome fenders, ape hanger bars w/ matching orange metal flake grips, full height sissy bar and a drag slick rear tire!

I was the coolest thing in toughskins on Grapevine road...until my friend Chris got a bike that had a real steering wheel and 3 speed shifter on the top tube!

Or...

the 1969 Torino GT I bought from my dad when I was 16 and that he gave away to the firewood guy when I was off in the USAF.

I still have my 1st ride, my 71 F100 but I wish I still had the 71 Sportsroof with the 351w and 4 speed. The 64 Falcon Sprint with 302 and 3 speed. The 86 Bronco 5.0 and the 93 Dodge Dakota. It was a fine truck for it's size.
I think that is about it. I think the Falcon is the one I wish I had kept the most. Only had it a little while and needed the money.
The 71 Sportsroof was a cool car and would haul the mail, needed some body work but looked good from 20foot. I would have dies or lost my license in it. For a mostly stock 351W and a close ratio 4speed it was wicked fast. Never checked the gear ratio but figure it was in the 4.11 range. Another deal where I needed the money. Made a bundle on that car.

Hope I don't get banned from this site. They all Chevys.

A 67 Chevelle Malibu SS. With a 396, Deep Maroon with metalflake, chrome reverse rims with baby moon hubcaps. And a huge Bald Eagle decal in the back window.

A BRIGHT yellow 73 Vega.

A 65 short wheel base pickup. Had a 350, 3 speed and a custom interior. Bucket seats with a beer cooler built between them.

1970 Ford Torino GT.
Had a 351C with a C4. It would put you back into the seat foam in a flash!

[papabug71]

All of them.

[68_250]

My 81 Bronco. It was huge and looked like a Tonka toy. It was black with orange yellow and red decal stripes down the sides
Next would be my 84 F 150 stepside. That was a fun little truck

[two-bit]

'49 F-5, DRW, 337 flathead V-8 with custom made headers and stacks. 4 spd crash box with a Timken housing at 5.88-1. Rolled on 8.25X20 two-piece rims. 16' foot deck with stake sides. NO turn signals and only one brake light.
I bought it from a county auction, they had used it for an old tanker truck. I swapped the tank for the deck. Built the exhaust, converted it to 12 volt, and drove like i was a king.
Stupid me, i sold it cause' i wanted something that went faster

1973 mercury comet gt had a 302 3spd. I traded it for a 76 f-100. I still get sick thinking about it

There are only 2 of my past vehicles I would like to have back. My 87 Dodge Ramcharger was a beast and would go anywhere. I would love to have that tank back and make it even more of an off-road beast. I gave it to my sister and her husband at the time because they needed a 2nd car and it was an extra for me. Her husband then gave it to his brother when they moved instead of giving it back to me, and last I saw, it was wasting away in a backyard broken down. I offered to even buy it back and was turned down.

The only other car I would want back was a 60's (dont remember the exact year) convertible bug that I bought for my ex-wife. I fixed it up some and then when she got pregnant, we decided to sell it. We "sold" it to a "friend" co-worker of hers that agreed to make payments. Against my better judgement, I signed over the pink to her so she could get it registered to drive it. After the initial $200 payment, she disappeared and we never saw her again. I only want that car back so I could sell it for what it was worth.. . I can only hope the car caught fire after I sold it and it burned to the ground depriving that witch of enjoying the car she stole. That car was worth at least $3000 at that time (1996).

Oh well, at least I own my 67 Firebird 400 convertible which I will probably never part with. Full frame off restoration and "almost" done with it. Of course, the things still on my list are all put on hold while I work on my new bumpside! ...

[3 Speed]

Either my 74 Cadillac Sedan de Ville, 472 cid OR my 95 Dodge Dakota SLT Club Cab, 318 cid, 225 hp.
