What car did you own, and would give anything to have back

I was really stupid and could name a couple but the one I'd really like to have back was my 72 grand torino sport, factory fastback with buckets, console and hood scoop. Pulled the 351C 2bbl and dropped in a 69 428cj/c6. With 3:1 rear it would squat until about 15mph then light up the right rear. 13.46 at 104mph in the quarter, that was fast back then!
(would also press you into the seat when you floored it at 100mph on the highway)
(Edit: sold for $500 in 84)
Or, my 65 notch mustang I beat the inner shock towers out to fit a 351C/fmx, was faster bogging with the 3.50 gear then when I put in the 3.91's (and lincoln locker) out of a pickup and smoked them continually.
(Edit: traded in 82)

Damn, I'm depressed now! LOL
