-Love the 55-57's! Here's my last one, was a frame-off 6 cyl full resto. It got a Camaro subframe, tubs, narrowed 9" rear 575hp BBC, nitrous and a Richmond 5 speed. I hate myself for selling it.

Very lucky to have owned a lot of nice cars, but your 1st always stands out. My Dad gave me a 49 Jeepster for my 14th birthday. Had help restoring it and put a modern engine in it when I turned 19. Took that car everywhere!

Out of all the cars that I've owned the aston db7 is my favorite, v12 power with the best fit and finish of any car any where.

From the very beginning of this thread I've been thinking.... the one car I wish I still had... 1980 Trans Am black/gold just like that one, Bandit edition complete with T-tops and integrated CB/stereo with the antenna on the rear trunk... what a sweet car.
Sold it to get a '86 Z-28.
Did a lot of crazy stuff in that car... 18yo didn't own a camera and never even took a picture of it. Did drive in a few weddings and parades.....
Paid 2K for it... sold for $1400.

[QUOTE=RT930turbo;3634550]
I wish I had this one back. Perfect balance. Low key, super fast for it's day, rare, and built like a brick Sh!& house.
1993 500E


I couldn't help but answer this due to the first post... Two cars I wish I never sold... I bought a '92 500E in 2001 with a little less than 20K miles. Pearl Black over Grey. Sold it to Snodgrass at Brumos just before he died in '07 with a little less than 30K miles. A wonderful car that was a mistake to get rid of.

Second, an '85 R5 Turbo 2. Had it for about 5 years in the 90's. A better car than I ever thought it would be. When I bought it, I expected it to be a miserable piece of crap that I'd just tinker with and look at, but it was actually a fantastic little car. Never forget, in traffic near the Daytona Speedway on the way to the start of the 24 Hours, a guy with a camera jumps out of a car, asks a guy in a Testarossa to pull up so he could get a clear shot of the Renault. Neat car with loads of personality.

And the one I'll be buried in... An old Porsche Turbo I've had for almost 25 years. Don't use it much, but don't think I could live with anyone else using it either...
