My Grandpa's 67' 283 SS Impala.

He died  and  I inherited it.

It wasn't a Mopar but it had sentimental value.

I had to make a choice:   :thinking:

Keep the Cuda I have now (my first car) or sell the Impala.

Hmmm, that's a tough one. Probably my 67 Valiant 2dr post 273 4 spd with a 3:91SG- and a painted on "vinyl" roof! I later swapped a 68 Dart GTS 340 into it and that little beast only got beat once and that was by a 67 Fairlane 427 4 spd- by a fender. I still think about that car.  :thinking:
In the immortal words of Jimmy Scott- "pace yourself!"

Every difficult question.  Luckily I have kept most of my significant cars.

I order of wishing I kept

1.  68 Hemi Charger body
GG1 Dark Green with Gold Interior (yes I said GOLD), White Tail Stripe.  Console, disk brakes, PS, tach, HEMI automatic. 
I sold it because I felt I would never be able to source the Gold interior.  During the sale I found that a "friend" had pinched the trans color and brake booster.

2.  70 GTX 440+6  4 speed
B5 Blue, Blue Interior with buddy armrest, Air Grabber, Super Track Pack, White Side Stripe
Car had been painted but the workmanship was not to my standard so I sold it.  Helped that I had bought a 70 HEMI GTX

3.  70 Challenger T/A automatic
EV2, black interior, wrong motor, not a California car so had some rust, not bad by today's standards but CA in the late 80's it was what we thought was rusty - LOL
Sold it to a buy that did not want to meet my price so I kept the 450 wheels, NOS gas tank, rear spoiler, and the mint steering wheel. 

4.  71 'cuda 340 4spd
GB5 Blue, black leather, billboards and vinyl top.  Very well loaded two fender tag car with a very late production date.  Roof was rusty from a replacement vinyl top but no other rust
Sold it when I guy who had hounded me for years finally offered me stupid money.  Today it would be the deal of a lifetime. 

5.  68 Charger R/T 440 automatic
Red with black interior and white stripe.  Damn fastest 440 automatic I ever had. 
Sold it twice and sadly passed on the chance to buy it a 3rd time.

'73 Challenger Rallye, 360 swapped & a built up 727.

I daily drove it hard for about 14 months, putting on 10,000 + miles before selling it to a local kid.

Still the most fun car I've ever had.

My first E-Body, 70 challenger R/T. FY1, TX9 roof, V02 paint scheme, black interior, black longitudinal stripe, 383 4-speed. Brother stole it and wrecked it.                                                                                                         1973 ford F-250 4x4 hi-boy mechanical conventional wrecker. 390 industrial 4-speed. I used to drive it as fast in the winter as some people drove in the summer. Wounder how i didn't kill my self in that truck (others wondered the something)  Including the local law reinforcement.   :stayinlane:

My factory ordered (Oct 1969) '70 Triple black 'Cuda, 383 Magnum, 4-speed, 3:55 sure grip, A/C, no power steering, rallye dash, console, power front disc brakes, AM/FM stereo multiplex radio with rear speakers and fader switch,3 speed wipers, road lamps, rear window defrost, collapsible spare, 15" steelie rims with Goodyear E60X15 white letter tires, (I purposely didn't buy rallye wheels because I knew that as soon as I got the car I was going to put spoke mags on it. When the Mags got installed the steelies went in the dumpster  :crying:) With the AC and no power steering it was probably a one of one car.  :dunno:  Paid $4200 OTD with Tax and License.  Sold it three years later with approx 28K miles for $2,800 after it had been for sale for over a year with no takers.

mine is an oddball ..... I miss my old '79 Magnum

Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came

Mr Lee

1980 Honda Accord hatchback 5 speed. 
It belonged to a friend of the family and had been just sitting for years.  The man told me that if I could get it running, I could have it, for free.  And so I did.  Not fast, not anything special, but such a cool little car.   Silver with a nice maroon interior.  I loved it, but it rusted out pretty bad and I also slid it into a curb pretty hard in the snow.  The End.

Not mine, but looked like this.

Which car do I miss most. Just before Uncle Sam called me away to one of his famous tropical vacations. I reluctantly had to sell my 1964 Dodge Polara 500, 2 dr hrdtp,  red with a white top, red bucket seat interior, push button auto., 383 I just wasn't going to let my brothers take care of it for me, no way.when I got back after 4 years got my first E body anyway. The pic I'm posting looks pretty much like it, including the Cragars, the only change I made to it. Sure do miss it.  Thanks,   Al

2525 miles on this one when I found it.   
Probably about the same now as it is buried away in a collection somewhere now.

Were those miles put on a quarter of a mile at a time?    :stayinlane:

my white '89 LeBaron Turbo GT Coupe.  I had stripped a ton of cool stuff off of a Shelby CSX, but never got to work any of it into the car before I had to part with it.  I had put shocks and springs on it and an MP computer and was a great road car.  The GF at the time inadvertently did a Bo Duke'ed it over a large drainage dip in the road and bottomed the suspension slamming the oil pan into the asphalt.

Came out after dinner and my poor car was sitting in a 25' circle of motor oil and transmission fluid.  The pan was smashed and the trans axle had a crack in the housing.  Wasn't worth putting the effort into what was at most an $1800 car at the time (just out of college, new job).  Anyway, I still have the 2001 Mustang GT Bullitt that replace it.
