There were two for me: A '63 Chevy Impala and a '67 GTO. I still dream about the '63 sometimes and I sold it back in '71.

I owned both a 70 Challenger and 70 Road Runner at one time. I can't say I regret selling them, it was so much work to keep them in show condition and running well. Of the two, I miss the Challenger the most. It was a non Rt 383 4bbl, convertible, automatic, air conditioning, power windows, 3.23 sure grip. It was a very loaded car for the day. I spent about 3 years restoring it during the late 1980's, and continued to put NOS parts on it over the years. By the time I sold it, just about every piece of trim was either brand new or completely restored. The color is called Burnt Orange Mettalic.
A Cadillac with very few options!? Never...My '56 Olds 98 with every option or my '50 Cadillac with very few options.
Only car I ever wish I had kept was the '70 Mach 1 I purchased new for $3200. Grabber Blue with white vinyl seats, 351 4V Cleveland, Hurst shifted 4 speed, 3.50 Traction-Lok, Rim-Blow steering wheel, Shaker hood scoop, Sport Slats...got $900 trade in value 3 years later.
The same car would probably set me back $35,000 today...which means even if I found one, I couldn't afford to buy it.
