I guess my favorite (and now most desirable since I no longer have it) is a 1969 Firebird 400. 400 CID, 330 HP, 4-speed, 390 posi-trac read - no AC. It had ONLY 75K miles on it with beautiful orange paint (original!) with black vinyl top and interior. Like an idiot, I sold it about 7 years ago (of course when the muscle car market was at its lowest point). Today an original like that is probably worth $20 - 30K. It would still spin the wheels in fouth gear with the original clutch. The cost back in 1969? $2,900!!!
And it is in Saudi Arabia today. Unknown to me, the fellow that bought it was a broker for an international dealer. I happened to see a pic of it at the dealer / broker, and he was very proud he had sold it to a Saudi . Would love to have it back, but how many of us would also love to have a past car back!! Now, I am thinking I would like to find a good example of a 1975 Bricklin (gull-wing doors, you know). I know, they were terrible cars with poor build quality (I think most really leaked badly!), but it is something about them! Of course, if money was no object??? , I would like to have a Mercedes SLR -top speed? 209 MPH. But at it price ($450K), it ought to go that fast. I have seen one, but they would not let me touch it, let along sit in it!!! Beautiful vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!!! Harry
