I would take 3 cars back.. Two were my fathers and one was mine..
My dad had a 1969 Super Bee (Gold) 383 4 speed and also a 1970 Road Runner (Orange) 440 6 pack 4 speed.. I had a 1992 Camaro that I still miss to this day..
I just didnt have the money to do an LS1 swap and the little 305 couldnt keep up with all the other guys so I ended up getting my first LS1 to replace the Z28 which was a 98 T/A non WS6 that I honestly dont miss at all lol..
In the end though I am happy with my SOM WS6 that I was finally able to afford..

Owned a 69 Pontiac Custom S about 13 years ago as my first car and had to sell it dirt cheap because I blew the 455 I put in it and had to move out of state. 
Sold it to a guy in Kansas and I wish I could find it again.
Sadly the only picture I have from a friend:

Mine would have to be my 1998 Bonneville SSEi. So comfortable and could still get out of it's own way.
I had a 95 TSi AWD and it was pretty damn fun. It wasn't as nuts as yours (stock turbo running 17psi, little exhaust work, intake, basic fuel upgrades) but I still miss it. Not to mention it looked so much better than 1G's and the ricer 96+

I'm young(17) but damn there's a lot of cars I wish I could have back
2006 Mustang v6 pony package(1st car, totaled it in my first rain storm) (may 10-aug 10)
2011 Genesis coupe 2.0T(fun car but wanted something faster cause my mom wouldn't let me tune it so traded it for truck below) (aug 10-nov 10)
2011 Ram R/T(traded car above in for it and had a lot of fun in it from mudding and offroading to racing to going to the lake, got trashed by mom's friend in about a month(dec 11-jan 12), traded it in for the 2012 ram in sig and the R/T got sent to auction) (nov 10-jan 12)
1993 Camaro Z28(got messed up after a tire blew out on me, traded it for $700 off firebird below) (jan 11-feb 11)
1998 Eclipse GST(was a fun car until the motor blew about an hour and a half after we bought it and then an ex "friend" took it out from under our(me and my mom's) noses) (jan 11-nov 11)
1986 Pontiac Firebird with a 350 swap(traded camaro above for price reduction, was a pita(went back to the shop we bought it from everyday for the first 2 week) but would love to have it back and revamp the interior and ac plus some new motor parts for a weekend driver) (feb 11-dec 11)
So 6 out of 9 so far lol
And one from my mom's, 1973 duster slant 6 in plum crazy purple. Would love to have it and swap a 440 in it

i was thinking about all the vehicles me & my family have owned over the years and there are a couple that i wish we still had. one was a 68 bug...i learned how to drive a standard in this. thought they were kinda goofy looking when i was a kid but it would really be cool to have one now.
also my brother owned a "dukes of hazzard" challenger that to this day he still kicks himself for selling. even tho it was a project car, would still be fun to have.
the one i really liked was the 68 cougar which i always thought was the coolest car my dad ever owned. it was that weird looking green that was the same color as our refrigerator back in the day.
have any vehicles you wish you had back? maybe had a chance to buy or missed out on a great deal that haunts you to this day? post pics if you got'em & discuss!
