What was your favorite vehicle?

[Bronchette]

Drove it new off the car lot and it sits in my garage today, virtually unchanged. There might be some dry-rot, but everything is still original. 240K miles when it stopped passing emissions due to age related issues.

Other than a Bronco Sport, what has been your most favorite vehicle you've owned?

Would you like it back if it were possible?

For me, it was a 74 Pontiac Trans AM, SD 455. Bought it in 1978, two years into my college life.

I owned it for almost a year, and had to sell it, as the car got me in trouble, ticket wise. Two speeding tickets within a month, and a couple of reckless driving warnings. I was on my mom's insurance policy, and she received a notice from her insurance company that her rate was going up. Being divorced from my dad, she had no choice but to cancel me from that policy, as she knew I would not be able to afford the rate increase, nor her.

I sold it, and bought a 1965 VW Beetle, to prove to her that I would be a good son and concentrate on my college studies, and complete my degree. I wish I had taken a second job to keep the Pontiac though, and pay the insurance myself.

Karma I suppose, as a year later, I bought the 1967 Camaro SS that I have still today; my second favorite car. It will never be as fast as the Pontiac was, but I nice example of the yesteryear pony car era.

2007 Toyota Tacoma, just had paid it off and a landscaper ran a red at a cross section and hit me, total loss. On the upside, it held it’s value, got a lot more than I thought from insurance.

It would be between my 1974 Triumph TR-6 and my 1984 red Corvette. Both were a lot of fun.

As in Sunbeam Tiger? Equipped with the Ford 289?

Yep, started w/“260”, now 300hp “289” and 5-speed, oh — and the requisite Carnival Red

To many over the past 50 years. Here’s a few.

My favorite car owned was a '13 Lexus GS350. I was a Lexus guy for two decades but stopped after the front design went a little too crazy for me. Owned a '15 RX350 too which was a great vehicle.

My father in law owned a rare 1968 Torino GT with the 428 SCJ. Only 50 came from the factory as original equipped, as Carol Shelby got pissed that Ford was using that exclusive engine in something other than the Shelby Mustang. He threatened to pull his name from the Mustang if they did not stop. When he completed the 4 year total restoration of that car, only 7 of the 50 were documented as still in existence.

My son owned one of these. We bought it for him new when he graduated from high school. Turbo'd 4 cylinder rocket. 240HP I think. His was gold in color.

As far as a classic car goes. My '69 I owned for 20 years.

This was the "Get Smart" car for that series that he drove off on in the beginning credits of the show. The pilot show used a red VW Karmen Gia, then switched to the Sunbeam tiger.

And ended with the TR7 “cheese wedge”
