What would it be? Any car you've previously owned, in whatever shape. Was it the first car you ever had? Strike up the nostalgic music for a flashback...
Mine would have to be my 62 chevy II. Ran 10.20's all day long. I really miss that car. I sold it to buy my first T type, wished I had it back also.

My old 66 SS Chevelle 396, M21 4spd, 4:10s, 12 bolt, black interrior, buckets, no console, no power anything, etc.. Originally a 325hp car but I had too many small blocks and big blocks in it to count.
Handled like a bus with flat tires and stopped about as good as one too but MAN was it a blast to drive. Got busted street racing and sold it to pay the fines/tickets (basically gave it away).
Now that I've depressed everyone, I'll add mine. My first car was a '66 Mustang. Light yellow, black vinyl top, 289 2bbl. Not a fast car, strange color. Couldn't bring myself to paint it a different color, so painted it original color again. Poured many, many hours into it. I'd love to have that car back in the shape I got it up to. First car, bought it for $1750 in '86. Totalled in '88.
Only had one other "hot rod" and that was my 66 Chevelle. Had it for 20 years and it was featured in many magazines in both the pro street version and also when it was painted red. Sold in 95 to someone in New York state and I know it has changed hands a few times since then. Anyone from New York see it anywhere at shows?? Would like to track it down just for the hell of it.
My '69 Big Bad Blue AMX. It was a 390, 4 speed car with a dual 4bbl cross-ram manifold. I did keep the crossram when I sold it though. What a fun car! I am trying to locate it, so it may be coming back.
A few - my 78 Trans Am I sold for $800 to buy my GN (had a rebuilt motor trans and rear cowl hood and custom interior and rims I gave it away basically. My 71 Chevelle I bought for $150 that was stripped around the block from my house
My 93 TBird which I tried to get back but cant find it
I did get one back though my 85 Regal that thing is a storm trooper I had it for 2 years (bought it for $200) sold it for $1000
then bought it back a year later for $200 and it was still going strong until we pulled the N/A motor for a Stage Conversion
1982 Datsun 280zx...speedo read 85 and I could almost bury it in 3rd...Solid 14 sec. after the lightening (was rusted plum through in a BUNCH of places)...I had to drive it with the T-tops out because the exhaust came in the rear floor boards and exited out the tops...Once made a 20 min. drive in closer to 5 min. in the middle of the night (someone was beating on the windows of my GF house in the middle of the night, had to scare em off).
250,000 miles only thing I did was take off the Cat. and replace the clutch the whole time i owned it, bought it for $220 and sold it for $200...Went past my buddies house on the afformentioned 5 min. run and he said all he saw was a blue blur, he "thought" it was me.
Oh and when you drove it hard and power shifted it at 6500 RPM it would backfire...the struts were so worn out that the bumeer looked like it was going to hit the ground when you shifted LOL
