While posting a picture of my daily driver, with another car in the background, that I gave to my girlfriend thinking I got the best of it since I could still drive it and she garaged it.. But then she sold it... Ouch..I liked it a lot. But I can live without it. But it got me thinking...

What car did you have that you would give anything to have back again?

And why/how did it get out of your prized possesion in the first place?

Mine was a 1956 Cheverolet Belair 2 door hard top, with a monster 283. Jahns pistons, Isky E3 cam, dual quads, 327/350 heads. I built the engine and had to eye brow the pistons by hand with an air grinder. I had 590/15s on front an 860/15s on back. I couldnt keep a powerglide in it, and couldn't afford a stick change over at that time.

So when I had beaten all of the other hot cars around, including 273 Barracuddas, and 289 mustangs, and I got tired of changing the bands in the powerglide I sold the whole shebang for $600 in 1966

Man I wish I had that car back.
