Cars I wish I'd have kept
Below is dedicated to all the cars, I've enjoyed and regretted selling. But... I couldn't have kept them all-where would I have put them, and if I'd have kept them I couldn't have afforded to buy the next one.
My first car, 1972 Duster 340 4 speed, 3:23 posi. What a quick car in bone stock form (wish I'd raced that in the stock class).
During my ownership, I tried a 3 deuce set-up on it. Then swapped in a blueprinted and balanced 440. Man, was that a sceamer! I played with some 4:30 gears but kept coming back to the 3:23 since they really "pulled". I sold it when gas was pushing $1.00 a gallon-who could afford that huh? Those were the days.

I bought a second car while still at home, 1964 Pontiac LeMans. This car was purchased by my father as a repo. in 1965. My sister had it for quite a few years before I bought it from her. It was bone stock, numbers matching when I got it (but at that time there wasn't a big interest in "restoring" these old cars). The stock stainless steel hub caps (slots with spinners-very expensive now) were stolen in Wichita when my sister had it, that was the only thing missing!
I pulled the running 326/'glide and put in a Chevy 327/turbo 350. Swapped in a posi rear end and lifted the car with new springs. It looked pretty tough with the Cragars, but now I wish I'd kept it stock-funny how we get more wisdom with age!
Others;

1972 Opel Manta with 60 series tires-one of the early Euro styles, I did this around 1980.
1977 Trans Am, 400 H.O.-put 60 series all around on this one too, handled great. Once I had the 120mph speedometer pegged.

1967 Mustang fastback. This car came from California and was rust free (pretty hard to find one like that in Nebraska). It was a base model, 289, 3 speed, 2 barrrel, manual steering and brakes. It had a Shelby tail end put on it. Looked pretty cool. I won a trophy in Omaha with it.
1967 Mustang coupe. I got this in the mid to late '80's and it had 25,000 miles on it. It had been garage kept so the interior was in mint condition! The car hadn't been kept clean so the fenders and quarters rusted. The front fenders were replaced, the rear quarters repaired before I got it. All I had to do to the car was replace one hub cap.
The parts hauler. 1995 Chevy C1500 Silverado extended cab.
It has a 2"/3" drop, 17x8.5 Impala SS wheels, Goodmark steel cowl hood, painted mirrors and a roll pan.
This is a different car I bought last summer, the future project. A nice driver for now. It'll be the "road" car. I will load up this car with all the options I've been collecting; 454, 700R4, 12 bolt posi, power windows, power door locks, power bucket seats, cruise, tilt steering, delux steering wheel, delux seat belts, guage dash, functional cowl hood, bullet sport mirrors, electric trunk release, courtesy lighting package, map light mirror. I'll keep the stance about where it is.

This '78 Trans Am was a Texas car that was in indoor storage for 15 years before I bought it. It's pretty solid and we rebuilt the engine. New rubber, wheels and paint. It's now my daughter's car.
This was my first Chevelle. I gave part of it to my son, he paid for the rest. We rebuilt the entire front and rear suspension using polygraphite bushing, gas shocks, a monster front swaybar and an SS rear swaybar. We added GM front disc brakes and rebuilt the rear drums. Everything was cleaned and painted before reassembly. He rebuilt the numbers matching engine and added the torq-thrust wheels.
This is what's is all about, spending time with family.
