 Posted: 07/23/03 - 08:12 Post subject: Favorite CAR that you've owned?
I owned a custom conversion van back in 94-95 that I really loved. Plenty of room and comfy as can be.
It's a shame that at the time my wife was working farther away from the house and that was her commuter vehicle. We had to trade it in because it got such crummy gas mileage.
:sniffle:  I miss that van.

Would have to be a '65 Mustang that my sister had and gave me when I was a senior in high school. Dark blue, with a metallic blue interior. A smooth runner, and definitely caught the attention of the women (must have been the car - it sure wasn't me!).
Oh yes... and I did have a can of paint in the back. Some Fuller-O'Brien beige, I believe.

1971 Plymouth Duster with 340 cubic inches, Holley 650 cfm double pumper, 3 angle valve job, 7 qt oil pan, Hedman headers and glasspacks, street/strip shift kit in the tranny, Mr. Gasket ratchet shifter, kickbutt stereo (at least for back in the ol' days)... I bought it for $700 because it had been sideswiped... replaced a door, fender and part of a quarter panel, did some bodywork and had it painted. Dark red with factory rally rims and big fat firestones all around. The dual exhaust was the only real obvious giveaway that the car might have some go-power..... I had a ton of fun in that car. That little 340 would scream.....

the only car that I ever bought brand new: '85 Honda Civic It was rear-ended 10 days after I bought it. and I wrecked that car 2 more times before I had to give it up. it would have kept going if it weren't for that deer.
disclaimer: not my car, just a googled pic. The deer that hit my car totaled it. I had to file a hit and run report.

When I was in college my uncle gave me an old subaru wagon-don't know the year it was made-in the 70's. It was a red WAGON stick shift. I was
in Memphis at the time.
Vinyl seats+no A/C+Memphis heat=one sticky situation!

1962 Plymouth Valiant, cherry red, beautiful, totaled when I was hit from behind by a drunk driver in 1998.
Now I have a '63 Dart, but it's just not the same.
since everyone's posting pictures, here's a picture of not-my-car-but-just-like-it:
