I've always wanted a '77 Bronco.

I had one for a few years in the mid 90's. Like a damn fool I sold it. It was in ok shape, but I was in upstate NY so it had door jamb rust issues.

Here's my old rust bucket.  Big Red is a 68 Chevelle.  I "had" a really nice fishing boat a handful of years ago but it went by the wayside (sold) so I could have the old Chevy restored right.  She now lives fat and happy in my shop, only coming out to stretch her legs when the weather is decent.

I had a '66 mustang fastback for most of my highschool years, "safety red" color. Spent a fair amount of my time working on it before it was running well. It was actually my mom's first car and hadn't been driven for many years by the time I got my hands on it. Somewhere there are photos. The only thing I didn't like about it was the automatic transmission.

I'd like to get my hands on a Galaxie 500 someday.

My first car was a 77 Vista Cruiser, it had a 403 small block and is a classic in some circles..

I use to have a 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500 XL Fastback.  Mine was a 4 speed 390 car not the really awesome 427 model but they looked the same.  Like a dam fool, I sold it about 15 years ago.  :bash:

Had one that was semi restored. Looked just like this one. 383 4 barrel 3" dual exhaust. Oh mannnnnnnnn..............after having couple kids i couldn't afford fixing and restoring so it had to go. :'( I will own 1 again very soon. :tup:

 I think @M_ray had a 66 Challenger when we were in high school.

Maybe a Charger?   First year for the Challenger was 1970

 Not a Dodge guy so you are likely right. It looked like the one in plats post except it was white.

I wish I still had my 1975 Cadillac Eldorado. 8.2L engine, front wheel drive, and a 5 body trunk.

I regretfully let go of an opportunity to get a '67 Galaxie Convertible, but it needed a whole new interior and top. Couldn't see it being a feasible project for my budget at the time. Such a neat boat... car. lol

My very first car was a 57'Chevy BelAir, just like the one in the photo.  Had red and black interior.  Should have never ever let it go.  It was mint.

I have had and sold various older cars, 30's and 40's neeeding restoration (I would buy them then sell them at a profit years ago, back in the 70's).  Actually had a 29 Ford Roadster first year of college that I was attempting to street rod back in 1964/65, but had to sell it when I went in the service.  Another I should have kept. :)

Currently have a 97 30th Anniversary Camaro SS Convertible.  Only made 957 30th SS's and of that total only 251 were convertibles.  Fun car, with a 6 speed manual but a garage queen that is going to find a new home this summer.

I'd love a classic Lambo or a Dodge Superbee, but as for one I might conceivably afford, I've always had a thing for Z cars

I've always liked Z cars
I owned one for about 5 minutes, never got it running and sold it off for another 4x4
