I have to go with the Duke Boys' car. The 1969 Dodge Charger. A big piece of obnoxious, badass power in classic Hemi Orange. There's a Dodge dealership behind my house that has a 2009 Challenger up on blocks. God, I want that car.

1951 Carryall Suburban. It was 4 years older than me. Never got to drive it, sold it before I finshed it. It was still my favorite and gave me hours and hours of fun.

Dang! I love those.

I remember a guy had a '74 Suburban, IIRC, the cool thing was all the seats folded completely flat and quickly, sort of like our old '55 Chevy wagon. It was a breeze loading plywood.

My '92 van requires two people, or a lot of grunting to remove the seats and there are heavy steel clamps left on the floor.

The original seats were missing when I got this one. They really weren't that comfortable but everyone(burb owners) wanted a set. If I had had mine I would have sold them for the money. 16 pieces of glass. All flat except the two on the rear doors.

Maybe not the most glamorous, but she was mine. A Simca 1000 with 1294cc engine (not this one. Got no pics of mine, but she was sea-green). We (my brother and I) used to pull our trailered dinghy with that car, and she invariably would overheat. But without the trailer.....whoooaaaa!

I have had five of these! a 72', two 73's, a 75' and a 78'.. I kick myself for selling every one!

That doesn't surprises me, that you were happy with that car. You know why? Because the engine and the gearbox were from Volkswagen Rabbit.

I posted mine back in April '01, but the site I had the pic on has not existed for years. Hence, reposted as attachment..

1275 with stage-3 rally head, twin SU's and K&N's. Don't remember much else, except it got around 7mpg around town, and 40+ on the highway!

Notice the air horns and upgraded brakes. One for getting people out of the way and the other for when they don't..

When I was in high school I was a pit crew volunteer for a Jaguar XK 140 I really liked that old jag but they were all so rusty... I wanted one of these .. Just like the one Mark Donohoe raced.. In this picture the blue one is mine.. the white one belongs to a friend it is serial No 003.. $$$$ yikes..
I can't have this car in Hawaii .. the salt air would destroy it in just a few short years

sigh! ...what to do.

Hands down. A used Datsun 1200 I bought with my slim savings, even while attending university. I understand they still rally them in Australia. Mine was puke green, but with oversized winter tires, it could go anywhere. Didn't need to clutch to shift, just get the revs right, and a little pressure on the stick would let it glide into the next gear. I moved all my worldly possesions from Nova Scotia to Calgary when I graduated, some in the trunk, and more on the back seat. A fun little car. 50 miles to the Imperial gallon. Wish I still had it, probably the 70's version of a Smart.
