    From all the cars you've previously owned.
    If you could have only one of them back which one would it be?
    First Choice?
    Second choice?
    Third choice?
    ===========================
    My choices are as follows

    1* 1960 Chevy Impala Convertible:Of all the cars I've previously owned.
    If I could only have one of them back it would have to be the Black 1960 Chevy Impala Convertible with the white rag top and the red and white interior.
    It was one sharp looking machine and a real mover with the 348 engine with 3 duces and a racing cam.

    I posted this subject on several of the tractor boards.
    Every one seemed to enjoy it and had a lot of fun so I thought I'd post it here and let the folks here join in on the fun.

    Hi,
    The first thing youâ??ll need to consider is that old cars have pretty shoddy locks, for the most part. Car thieves are very much aware of this, so unless you plan on sticking an expensive security system into your classic, complete with lots of decals advertising what youâ??ve done, youâ??re at high risk. So what can you do?

    The most obvious thing is to keep your classic completely out of their sight. Locking your car in a secure garage helps; just make sure that the entrances to the garage are both well lit and lockable. If you donâ??t have a garage, and you arenâ??t able to store it anywhere other than your driveway, youâ??ll definitely want to keep it as unappealing as possible, using lots of light and maybe scattering some â??beware of dogâ? signs nearby.

    If you need to leave your car alongside a road for any length of time, let me be the first to encourage you to never leave it unattended for long.

    I'm still pretty young, 24 years old, so I've only owned 2 cars. My first car was given to me when I turned 18, it was a Toyota Corolla. I used that car for more than 5 years. Now, I have Honda CR-V.

    My last rod was a 59 healey bugeye sprite with a 400 hp 327 chevy....
    I built it to a theme of a cobra paint and all. It took years to make it handle
    95 in wheel base and lots of power are a deadly combination...
    The biggest problem was believe it or not COOLING....I had several "purist" admire it even though they resented me killing the orginal car,,lol
    Isnt the hot rodder in America...Doing what they say cant be done??..lol

    A bit of an old post here, but seems like fun...

    For me the memories are of:

    1) Maserati 430 Spyder convertible (red of course w/ tan leather and suede interior). I could spend hours just looking at it!

    2) Triumph TR6: pure "motoring" pleasure, even with fickle English electrical system.

    3) VW GTI: a surprise find, modified for racing, and pure fun to drive.

    4) VW GLI Wolfsburg: another treasure find, great balance of driving fun and comfort.

    I haven't owned many cars but I know which vehicle I wish I could have back.

    1969 Chevy Impala. White interior and exterior. Very clean.

    My 2nd choice would be my 86 Chevy Blazer. It was very tough. Blue exterior and tan leather interior.

    I have several favorites. Today I think my favorite is a 1980 Gran Fury. Converted police cruiser. Settled in nicely at about 80 MPH.
