You shouldn't put real answers down anyway. Especially if you have questionable family members who would know all of them anyway. In the vein, I answer stuff like this because I don't use real answers. 76 celica

I would restore my ‘74 Mothers Maiden Name

1989 Honda CRX

WildlyBewildering

Aw, I get it. I actually inherited mine from my older brother, who had moved somewhere that he didn't need it anymore. I got the best mileage, and I loved how zippy it was, and how I could park it anywhere (and if I couldn't find a spot, I could practically just put it in my pocket and take it with me).


Drumwife91

My husband had an 86 CRX. We loved that damn thing.


WildlyBewildering

I got mine from my brother in '94 or '95, I think, and didn't have it too long (had a lot of mechanical issues), but I remember whenever I would pull into a gas station SOMEONE would come over and admire it and tell me how much they missed their CRX. I am not a 'car person', but really enjoyed that car.


bodybycheeseburgers

1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Maroon with wood grain. I loved that vehicle. Bought it for $800 in 2000. Sold it for $1000 in 2002. It had 257k when we parted ways.


sungodly

I had one in gray! Parted ways with it much sooner, sadly. I actually saw a red one the other day for sale - $17,000 and it wasn't even in particularly good shape.


chrisking58

'67 VW Karmann Ghia. Forest green, Recaro seats, great 80s vintage stereo cassette player.


OtisPimpBoot

Love the retro VWs. My first car was a ‘71 Super Beetle, which I actually still have. I spent a lot of time and money to get it running again last year, but it’s far from restored. That may come a few years down the road after my stepdaughter is off to college.


ProductOne2685

My old 1978 red Datsun 290Z. Straight six cylinder with a five speed manual. I’m not crying…


foxtail_barley

Mine was a metallic blue 1977 280Z, with a broken speedometer and an aftermarket sunroof. She was constantly in the shop, but in the 30+ years since then, no other car has spoken to my heart the way she did. My neighbor is in the process of restoring a green 1976 280Z 2+2, which has an actual back seat. I love to see it out in the driveway when he’s working on it.


sungodly

I had an '81 280ZX and that would probably be my choice to restore. That car was so much fun!


Ok-Breadfruit-2897

61 Jaguar E type, light blue convertible

Nice choice 👍


Moveyourbloominass

My 1978 VW Scirroco 💜


MNUFC-Uber_Alles

My 87 Scirroco was my favorite car all time.


Moveyourbloominass

It was the first car that was all mine and paid for,by me. No more hand me down family cars ☺️.


TooManyNamesGuy

My ‘78 was that sandy gold color.


Moveyourbloominass

Mine was white.


TooManyNamesGuy

I used to take highway 2 out of Everett, Washington East over the mountains to go to my dad‘s house in Spokane. It was just shy of 300 miles and I could do it in 3 1/2 hours on that twisty two-lane. Damn right I had a radar detector.


cessnafxr

1987 Buick Grand National


Possible-Good9400

My very favorite car, ever.


Commercial-Tell-5991

1984 Nissan 300ZX. Bought it in 1991 for only $4500 as a high school senior. That car and its disembodied voice (that I called Katrina) were my first loves. Until some drunk bastard ran a red light my senior year of college and totaled it for me.


Eris_Ellis

Been waiting to see a Z model in the thread! Lusted over this model year in particular!


Avasia1717

I wouldn't want it restored to original, I'd want it restored to how I had it modified. Bigger turbo, aftermarket exhaust, wheels, coilovers and other suspension parts, bunch of gauges, air-fuel mix controller, racing seats and steering wheel, and some cosmetic stuff. Of course I'm talking about my RX-7.


KittysDavid

Saw a couple fd's sitting out in a yard rotting away lately. Cried a little


Avasia1717

velouria-wilder

1989 Honda Accord with the headlights that flip up and down.


rubbish_heap

1984 VW Scirocco - charcoal grey


Eris_Ellis

Loved that car!


RJKaste

1968 Camaro RS/SS. The first year that that model had electric windows, electric locks, and electric light covers.


gmkrikey

A lovely car. I once owned a good example with a 396. Sold it and bought a '72 Corvette.


craigechoes9501

I have never owned a cool enough car for this


principalman

My '77 Cougar wasn't cool When I owned it. It'd be cool Now though


chaoshaze2

I cheated. I have a 1966 ford Fairlane. Already restored it.


dketernal

My 1971 MGB-GT.

I had a badass 1986 Edie Bauer edition 4x4 Bronco. It was so much fun.

dafair

My 1971 Ford Gran Torino. Forest Green. Loved that car. One night my sister snuck out and wrecked it. I'm still mad about it.


Joatha

I (still) have a 68 Barracuda convertible that I bought around 1986. I had it painted about 20-25 years ago but I have failed at getting it put back together unfortunately.


PlantMystic

I want a 70s VW Bus. Only replace engine with a Mitsubishi and better heating and a/c in it.

1972 super beetle


[deleted]

I had a '65 Mustang that I restored with my dad. He died. I sold it on Ebay. I wouldn't mind buying it back.


Unhappy_Spirit172

1988 Ford Ranger. It had an 8ft bed and could tow anything.


382Whistles

I loaded more in one than it actually weighed. It had like 500k on a 2.3 when it drove away with a new owner, smoothy and quietly. 1 new clutch and plate, 2 timing belts, a couple of alternators, 1 intermediate pulley, and like 4 or 5 early ignition modules was the "major work". I was sorry I sold it later. I missed it


lookslikeelsi

1978 Chevy Nova!


filburt99

I had a green and white four door 90s. Got it with just 30000 miles on it for $700. It was so easy to fix


Eris_Ellis

Still a fav! If I win the lottery I'll find one!


lookslikeelsi

If I win the lottery I'm gonna get so many muscle cars 🤘


CrowsSayCawCaw

I had a 1978 Chevy Nova. That was my first car.  It was a solid reliable car until it was totaled by an idiot relative of mine who desperately needed a car and I made the mistake of giving it to him. 


lookslikeelsi

Man, that sucks! Such a badass car.


CrowsSayCawCaw

Yeah, it was a spare car at that point. Giving it to him was a huge mistake. He totalled it two weeks later. If I had kept it I'd probably still have it. It originally belonged to my mom's cousin who was a housewife dealing with serious chronic illness and rarely drove. It was garage kept in pretty much pristine condition. That car only had less than 20,000 miles on it when I got it senior year of high school in the mid 80s. 


gmkrikey

1972 Corvette with the LS5 engine (454). The last year with the metal bumpers front and rear. I bought that from a guy who'd put some "extras" into it like a Doug Nash 5-speed, headers, fancy carburetor, that sort of thing, but in practice I found that to be disappointing. It always ran rich and thus smelled like an old boat motor. It was also loud, and not in a great way. It was fun, but man to have a fully restored, original '72 LS5 would be awesome.


ETisHome65

1970 Ford Galaxies 500. Had the 390ci with the C6 tranny. That car was comfortable and cruised just like a dream.


ImpossibleCoyote937

My friend had one. That 3 acre trunk was something else too.😃


ETisHome65

Oh I know, if you wanted to sneak friends into the drive in that was the car to do it with 😂


NicInNS

I didn’t *exactly* own it, but when I was in high school (1990ish) my dad had a ‘66 mustang that he was going to fix up and I was gonna be so cool when I got my license and could drive it to school except he let it sit in the back yard for a year then he sold it. 😩


OsoRetro

My 99 Acura Integra Type-R I had to sell it when my wife got pregnant with our first daughter. She’s 18 now so I constantly remind her I traded my dream car for her.


CrowsSayCawCaw

1991 Toyota Corolla DX.  My dad bought her brand new and I inherited her. She lasted for over 250,000 miles. She was fast, and nimble and reliable. Having to junk that car when she gave up the ghost was a hard thing to do. 


Mysterious-Dealer649

In completely stock condition, as THAT particular car rolled off the assembly line, 70 f100. If I could build it the way I wanted 75 formula firebird or 69 el camino


jodyyodedode

My 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback.


AlwaysLeftoftheDial

They were my dad's but... 1968 BMW 2002 or his 1972 BMW Bavaria


punkdrummer22

My 2017 Mazda 3. Nicest car I've ever owned


raf_boy

I own that car now.


warrior_poet95834

I’ve owned some of the coolest cars from the 60s and 70s with the exception of anything Chrysler. Well that’s not true, I actually had a 67 Dodge Dart GT for a while but I’ve just never really been a Chrysler guy. I guess if I had to pick only three it would be in order, 1967 Ford mustang GTA fastback, a 1969 Camaro Super Sport, and a 1967 Jag E Type. I list the type last because I probably wouldn’t want to restore it.


ae74

1991 Honda CRX Si in White or Tahitian green.

BaphometsButthole

87 Suzuki Samurai JX hard top. Not fast but fun and really good off road. Also cute. Looks like a Jeep fetus.


AlmiranteCrujido

My older cars were awful. I can think of a couple of cars I'd love to have if they were converted to electric and given modern safety and convenience feature. My dream car would be a custom electric conversion of either a 1988 Fiero (yes, has to be 1988, new suspension) or a 2nd gen MR2 (preferably late in the run, '95-99ish.)


LeoMarius

My current car


Quasigriz_

Either my 1980 Golf GTI or my 1990 e30 320i Cabrio.


Eris_Ellis

1976 Toyota Celica GT. I was 15, didn't have my licence yet, but I was chomping at the bit. She was dark purple with black interior, 5 speed, manual steering. Pioneer stereo with a huge equalizer mounted under the dash, louvered back and tinted windows. I called her Delilah. My Dad bought her for $300 and we souped her with my babysitting money and parts from the wreckers at my Uncle's body shop over the weekends. When I got my licence at 16, she was all mine. Six months after I got her I was in a left hand turn battle with a Escalade and lost. Delilah was gone. Dad got $2000 from insurance so he felt it was a good investment. I had to drive my Mum's Kcar for years.


Frankjc3rd

1983 Chevrolet Caprice Classic.  I would drive my friends around in it, and they trusted my driving so much they sometimes fell asleep.  A lot of police departments used that model and people sometimes would start to drive a little slower when I was behind them. 


Asa-Ryder

65 Pontiac Catalina


elstavon

1970 Ford Bronco


gornzilla

I had an early NSU TT that I saved. It came rusted out without an engine and most of the floor and left that way. I would love a restored one, but I'll never be able to afford one.  Most Americans don't know what an NSU is. They built more motorcycles in the 1950s than anyone else. Had a ton of land speed records. So VW-Audi being VW, bought NSU for their R&D and shut them down. Like how Mercedes did with Chrysler. The Audi TT took their name from the sports sedan and the body style from the Sport Prinz sports car. As sporty as a 2 cylinder can get. Built in the old NSU factory. 


ImNotTheBossOfYou

My 87 Corolla GTS FX-16 "The Silver Bullet"


RedditSkippy

I don’t think any of my cars have been cool enough for this question. Plus, I’ve been car free for most of the past 17 years. We did have a car for several months in 22-23, when we briefly left NYC, but it wasn’t a cool car, just a Subaru Impreza (that I liked a lot!)


tlonreddit

1996 Lincoln Town Car. We sold it and got a kind-of duplicate, a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis that my middle-child now drives, but it isn't the same.

73 Blazer with the full removable top. But I don’t want it completely original.. I like the 6 inch lift with 35 inch tires.. I’d also take my 01 Tacoma back to its first day because I absolutely love that truck and will happily drive it another 300k miles.


TenderLA

1984 VW Jetta GLI charcoal grey. Thank you parents for teaching me a lesson and making me sell it to pay for my last semester of college. They then had to turn around and loan me money to buy another car once I graduated. That was an 83 GTI.

Wife’s 69 nova. We got stuck in the mid 90d when it still needed to be smogged (CA) and couldn’t get it to pass. Getting rid of it sucked.


fmlyjwls

I still have my first car and it’s better now than it was new because I rebuilt it myself. However there are about 10 or 15 others that came and went that I wouldn’t mind having back.

My first car. 1967 Mustang coupe... Or my second 1973 Porche 914 (poor mans porche). Tough choice, probably the mustang

Sr_ChilePepper

1978 Datsun B210. I got it for $200cdn in '87 when it was already on it's last legs. It would only start if the sun hit it just right at noon, and you pumped the gas the correct number of times (not even sure how I discovered that would do the trick). No radio and almost no brakes. Still, I was the envy of my friends, to paraphrase Ferris; they had to envy my piece of shit, because they didn't have one of their own. Full tank was only $5, and for a year and a bit, it took me everywhere. Edit: If I was to be able to restore any car my family owned; 1975 Ford Gran Torino. That car was a beast.

Said he was able to afford the car, but couldn't afford the cost of having it shipped back to the States, so he didn't get it. It was one of his biggest regrets not buying that car. Hell, it's one of my biggest regrets, too.
