I had a 68 Mustang that I would love to have back.  Still have pictures of it up in my basement.

My first new car that I bought when I got out of college was a 1984 Mustang GT Turbo.  It had a turbo-charged 2.3L with 5 speed and a sunroof.  The turbo was a nice package and much easier on the gas than the 5.0L.  They made less than 3,500 of the model that I had so I suspect that it would have been worth some good money someday.  The sad thing is that I traded it in for a base model 4 door Escort.  darn

Of the machines that I have owned, I wish I would have kept my Heintz Canada Dry Cooler.  Made a nice profit but I will probably never see one in that good of shape again.

We had a '67 Mustang 4spd 289 that my dad gave us in the spring of '09. Although he gave it to us with the intention of having us sell it and keep the money, we thought it would be fun to drive once in a while, take to car gatherings, etc. It just ended up not being practical for us. It gave us three cars with a one car carport. I had to learn to drive manual, and the wife didn't want to. We weren't driving it much in the traffic around here. Winter storage was expensive and we seemed to always have little issues with how it ran and the carb which starting getting $. I would have liked to have kept it, it was cool, but we sold it in Nov. '10.

When we bought our house in 1992, I found three Walt Disney/Standard Oil 24" painted tin signs in the attic.
I sold the two Mickey Mouse and kept the Donald, but knowing now that there were only 5 designs made....wish I'd kept them!!
I do still have the Donald Duck sign, which is NM.

I should have kept the batmobile, but that dog gone utility belt was just too cool to pass up on.

My favorite car was my 1976 Firebird, the last  year before Pontiac went with square headlamps.
Candy apple red, with a stereo  I would now call the cops on if it came down my street,  and the usual accessories, Cragars,  gas shocks, etc.
machine wise, I regret selling my V39, since it was my first machine, but  hey, i have one waiting to get redone, so it's not to regretful

When I was a kid, I had a box of Nazi items from the war that my grandfather had somehow obtained. As a preteen in the early 80s I sold them to some collector. I'd like to know what they were and we're actually worth.
