So, I was hanging out with some friends, and we were looking at some car videos on youtube... Somehow we got to a El Camino video. I miss mine now... Need to get me another when I can... Anyway, any of you have a car you miss?
 
My old 94 Z28 Camaro.  Had that thing Totaly Tricked out.  Open PIPES. Super Fast. Got Married and Traded it for my Wife's New Beetle Convertible......

Love to have my '67 Malibu coupe back... Or for that matter a convertible Malibu of the same year.
 
Always miss my '93 Full Size Eddie Bauer Edition Ford Bronco. Push button 4 wheel drive and low gears like an Army deuce 'n half. So big inside when you dropped something on the passenger side you had to wait till you stopped to retrieve it.

Of course the 5.8ltr V-8 and 32 gallon fill up left a bit to be desired.
 
I had an '81 vette that I let go while I was in college b/c it needed tranny and rear work and I simply couldn't afford to fix it while in school. I had no place to store it either so down the road it went..

I have a '66 Chevelle now and a '59 Corvette project, but miss the '81..

PS: what year was your El Camino? I had a '79SS and my cousin had a '76 with the Laguna front end on it.
 
Where to start... my first car: '70 Chevelle SS conv - fully restored, 2 '69 442's, a '69 SS El Camino with the 375 horse 396 big block and a perfect bed - nothing had ever been hauled in it...

It was a '78 with a blue base and whit top (I think it was aftermarket painted) It was originally a 305 but the PO put a 350 in it... I had plans for it. I might have a chance to get it back even. If I do, I know where a suspension is sitting for it from another Elky. Pulled 1g on the skid pad with street tires. I would LOVE that.

Both are original, no engine swaps. Rare finds.

Yeppers, I had a 1970 Dodge Super Bee with a 383 Magnum and a Hurst 4 speed Pistol grip...
It was a long, wide, heavy car and was not to quick off the line...
But it seemed like it never stopped pulling on the top end...

Dangit, now I have to think about swapping the rims on MY '05!!!


(bike looks great)
 
If you guys haven't seen it, you gotta rent / buy "Hollywood Knights" - great flick!
 
Mine was no car but it was a 69 Chevy with a 350 small block, power glide tranny and I want to say it had a 411 rear end in it as well was in mint condition.  I would give any thing to have that truck back my Grand father did all the restoration him self and I just think I would be cool to have it back so I could put it in the garage and have it as a perfect day rider then wash aand wax her and stick her right back in the warm garage to look at until the next perfect day. Mine was like the one below only it was Burn Orange with a White Top.

Mine was a 56'Ford F100 that i sold in 96' to some guy up in Conneticut. He owned a couple Domino's pizza shops. I've since been tracking that truck down hoping to be able to buy it back one day.
 
I was the 2nd owner of a 93 MR2 and like so many others could not afford to do the upkeep while I was in school, nor could I afford to have a sencond car.  So I sold it and about 4 years later..... I bought the same car back, same price, but the guy who had it, redid the suspension, tranny, and interior.  

Here she is.....

We are puting a V6 with a T-66 turbo on a standalone ECU.  She is almost done.  Then it will be time for paint.
