I enjoyed buying and selling cars since I was a teen. Sold cars as a profession. Was a curbstoner on the side for years. Owned a lot of different cars.
Never had a Datsun Z of any style.  Always wanted one.What car did you miss out on? |

HAve a deep seated desire for a Lancia Stratos (or replica) and Lotus Evora is also on the list. WOuld also like to have the Italian CRX on steroids, though slightly odd looking , the brutal, pugnacious Alfa Romeo SZ- ES 30

When I was a kid (1970s) there were a lot of cars that I hated that I would now love to have. Karman Ghia would be at the top of that list.

Most of these I missed the boat on because either I found one locally and it got snatched up or in general the market went insane or decent examples all but disappeared (or some combination of the two).
Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 GMC Syclone E60 M5 B8 RS4 C6 S6 928 850 Celica GT-S Legacy 2.5 GT There's a pile of older stuff I used to lust after but gave up after Mecum's and Barrett Jackson ruined that market with overpricing everything. |

I always wanted the 60s and early 70s Mustangs and Camaros. I'm on a different tack now tho. I'm over those old cars that have always been out of my grasp financially. I'd rather have a new one now. I don't have to work on it constantly and everything works better.

Would like a new 392 challenger or charger while they are still in production. Sad to see them go without being able to afford one. One day maybe a used one, but would have been nice to have something that hasn’t been beaten on.

Always wanted one.What car did you miss out on? Had a friend who offered to sell an early gold 280Z with those sweet ass roof windows for pretty cheap years ago. I passed because it was an auto. I didn't have any strong desire to own it either. I do regret passing up a neighbors offer to sell an 89 4Runner. It had a fresh 22re long block but wasn't being driven because of a fuel leak. I wanted to work on my project 91 Explorer Sport instead, which I no longer have. In contrast I would have kept that 4Runner to this day. |

I always wanted a Duramax-powered Corvette. That dream faded as I got older, and then I heard from someone else with the same eclectic tastes in vehicles that the Duramax V8 doesn't fit inside a Corvette's engine bay.

911, without hesitation. Had posters, toys, models, etc.
Same thing for Ducatis. I loved them, even though I grew up riding Hondas. I ended up getting two Ducatis once I grew up. I was on the verge of buying a 911 but I bought a second house instead. |

Quote HistoryDammit, I passed on an almost flawless Austin Healey 3000 MK 3 shortly after I got married in 1993. Seller wanted $10K, but we had a lot of competing wants and needs as a married couple and I let it go. Still pains me. About five years later I let an absolutely pristine - unmolested - panhead with a tank slapper go, mostly because I already had one Harley and the military was moving us around a lot. It was sitting in the window of a pawn shop in Niceville, Florida, and the owner put it back on the road and wrecked it not long afterwards. Two of my grails I let slip through my fingers. |

I bought both of my current “dream” cars within 8 months of each other.
Gen 2 Raptor. Cobb tuned. 2019 Mustang Bullitt edition - purchased yesterday. Pick up Wednesday. 3900 original miles on it. Bullitt green, magna ride suspension, Recaros. So fairly rare package in the ~3500 that were built. Down the road I’ll get a Raptor R and a GT500. Edit: Also have a 2021 F350 Lariat dually. Because this is arfcom. Get all of them. |

Early 2000’s Viper GTS. When they were $40,000-$60,000 I couldn’t afford one. Now they $70,000-$100,000+. I could buy one now just fine but I just don’t think they’re really worth that much.

When I was a teenager I wanted a 5.0 Mustang more than I wanted to breathe.
Joined navy and could now afford one but the appeal went away. I was nearly the only one in the barracks parking lot that didn’t have a teenager dream car of some flavor or another. The 10 year old Ranger I had at the time is now 32 years old and still in my garage
