1969 Mach I. Black Jade Green. 351W, FMX, Factory Shaker hood. Mine did not have the Magnum wheels, it had the chrome wheels. No rear window louvers or rear wing.
I bought mine in 1978. 130K miles for $900.

I guess I'd like to see the White 1992 firebird brand new and not the garbage barge I actually owned.
My other vehicles that I currently own are still great and the rest is meh.

My 96 XJ. It was way cooler because of all the mods I did, but today I could live with it "brand new and stock" because even in that form it was just a versatile and solid vehicle.

It would be the car I had when I was 19, a 66 Chevelle 2dr with chrome rally wheels. Big tires in the back and skinny tires in the front, and loud dual exhaust. Only drawback was that it was only a 283 engine.

240sx. I would make an absolute killing by selling a mint condition one.

I’d love to have it back. Really miss the AWD. And the seats. And the big brakes. And the exhaust.

1973 Chevy Blazer. 350/4 speed, posi-traction.

Not mine (it didn't look this good) but very similar down to the gold/white paint.

Or...

1945 CJ2A.

Again, not mine but also very similar.

1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited.
The idea of a hot rod SUV started when Jeep stuffed a 360 cubic inch motor into a full time AWD SUV that also had a low range 4wd T-Case. It was capable of real off-roading - in low range, it felt like it could climb up the side of a building, the torque and 4WD was awesome, and at the same time it would make Mustang drivers turn off the main drag in humiliation after losing light to light for several blocks in a row - I modded mine a bit, but it actually felt like the front tires jumped off the pavement during full throttle 1st to 2nd upshifts. In the MN winter, I could beat most vehicles while pulling a loaded snowmobile trailer.
And truly a limited build - something like 10K of the 49 state models, plus another 7K that were CA approved and then a few Canadian and a few right-drive versions for high rollers overseas were ever built and it was just that one model year.
Got me in trouble a few times, but had a shit-ton of fun times also. Full Leather, power moonroof, 10 speaker Infinity Gold stereo with CD and Cassette and steering wheel controls.
Now everybody makes one, but Jeep started it 22 years ago. Would definitely love to have a brand new one of those to start with again.

This one, oh wait I still have her. 2005GT with less than 35k on the clock as of today.

'68 Olds Delmont 88 convertible. Power top with tempered glass back lite, power windows, Wonderbar AM/FM radio. It didn't need anything else.

I know it would be like "my most embarrassing Wood Plow" but I swear I would not mind having my old '69 Chevy Impala station wagon back.

Come to that I did a hell of a lot of "plowing" in it.

Toss up between the 1987 Supra Turbo or the 1999 Eagle Talon TSi (AWD) both were 5 speeds.

My first car was a 1970 Mustang Grande with a 351 Wiindsor Big Block. God how I loved that car!

Mine was the same dark green color as this one but with a white vinyl top and Cragar rims.

Not my car.

Probably my 1986 IROC, I have a Chevelle now, but the factory configuration isn’t particularly desirable.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge

Mine was a rolling rustbucket with non matching engine and trans, but I would kill to have it in original form....

My son's 93 S10, same body style, has a 5.9 Cummins, compound turbo. Pretty nice truck that gets 34 hwy mileage, and can do a 1/4 mile burnout that rivals a top fueler.

I haven't had any really cool cars so I don't know. I picked up a basket case 77 Bronco so it would probably have to be that but my 1980 F-250 would be awesome as well. As I get older I really appreciate how cool it would be to have a fully restored truck. Even my 2005 Excursion that I haven't taken care of would be great to have in new condition so I could take better care of it.

My FJ Cruiser. The best vehicle I ever had. I drove the hell out of it and never had a single rattle and it never saw the shop. All I did was change the oil and keep tires on it.

If it would be guaranteed never to break down I’d go with my 1995 Range Rover LWB. If it wasn’t guaranteed not to break down, I’d pick my 2000 Land Cruiser.

1980 Porsche 911SC is tempting but it was not a very good daily driver.

The 66' "rustang" I bought and offloaded after realizing it was too far gone to restore.

Having that magically reappear in my driveway in mint condition would beat the heck out of having one of my trucks back

My Ford 1995 F250 with 7.3L powerstroke diesel
8’ bed and supercab. I never did anything to it other than a tonneau cover, which ended up sucking. Should’ve got a nice cap
Sadly it rusted out from the nitric acid fumes at work

My '71 Dodge Charger 500. It had a 383 Magnum big block, slap-stick 727 automatic, was the "plum crazy" purple color with a white landau top. Very few made with those options. Didn't know what I had at the time.
