If you could go back and keep one car that you (or your family) sold, what car would it be?

My factory black big block 68 charger; as a Bullitt but I never should have sold that one after I did a full rotisserie restoration on it

My 1970 b5 Challenger convertible. I was 28 at the time and sold it to a Canadian for $5,000.00 in 1988. It was only a 6cylinder with air but I tried to "Restore it" but did it in my parents garage with my future wife motivating me on!. I painted it a "Blood red" Chrysler color.  The Canadian's first name was Mike. :headbang:

The one I really miss was a 70 Challenger SE, 383, 4-speed, EV2 Hemi Orange. Decked out just like an RT although it wasn't one.

My 1972 Plymouth 'Cuda 340 one of a kind factory combo no other like it.
Actually, I sold it once and bought it back a few years later.
Then sold it again thinking I would buy it back again some time later but lost track of it and lost it forever.  :crying:

70 T/A Challenger. Sublime with white interior. Bought it used in 74 and sold it in 77 for about half what I paid for it. If I recall less than $1500.:headbang: I was 18 when I bought it and was getting married when I sold it. Friend had a 70 RT SE Hemi, automatic. We lived in a town of 400 people. Would love to have either 1 back now!

picture not mine but is what it looked like..

The car I sold that makes me saddest was a '71 cuda 340 I bought when I was in college.  It is debatable if I should be sorry I sold it though.
I bought it from the original owner, a wealthy middle aged lawyer.  It only had something like 28,000 miles when I bought it.  Had been a showroom demo car at a local dealer and was loaded. FC7 with black top, white interior.  Front and rear elastomaric bumpers, front and rear spoilers, AC, power windows, rear window louvers, AM FM thumbwheel radio.  Still had the original tires. 
The bad: the lawyer had used it mostly to commute back and forth to the train station every day.  Year round in this rust belt climate.  It got rusty and he took it to a body shop, where they'd replaced the fenders and put about 100 pounds of bondo in the rear quarters before repainting the car white.
A few years after that is when he'd sold it, a 12 year old car with only 28K miles but the frame and floor were getting rusty.
I did drive it pretty much as my full time driver for the summer, so I had some fun with it.  I even drove it to my first Grateful Dead concert.  Then I sold it, in retrospect I could have stripped it and made a profit on the car selling those parts.  Today just the window louvers would sell for what I got for it.
If I'd stashed it away several decades, I suppose it could be restored now using about a complete catalog full of AMD parts and it would be amazing to see.  But realistically I couldn't have kept it, I didn't have a barn to hide it in for a quarter century until I could "find" and restore it.

 My 70 Challenger R/T convertible  383 auto. Dark burnt orange body, white top, white interior. Bought it for $600 in 1976, cracked block and sold for $3000 in 1983. Non running but complete when I sold it to a guy in Bellingham, Wa.

My first car... bought for $2000 in 1980, sold for $3500, half ''restored'' a year later, I thought I did the deal of the century!
