1930's ( I guess thats what my picture said, I thought it was a 1916 ) broom handle Mauser with stock/holster.

It needed a rebarrel, I never shot it, but it was a cool piece of history to have.
 
I still wish I had my 73 plymouth road runner. It was the 2nd. car that I ever puchased. I bought it from my cousin back in 1984 after finishing high school. It sat at my mom's house for about 10 years, until 2006 when I decided to restore/rebuild it. I upgraded everything to a built 1969 440 big block, bored .30, aluminum heads, intake, etc. It put down a good clean 500 rwhp. I know, not the fastest, but it would run consistant 12.0's in the 1/4 on street tires, take best in class at the car show, and cruise all day long. When I first had the engine built, it got 6 mpg, but as the engine got some miles on it, they increased to nearly 12.

I am not a fan of that body style, but it sure looks NICE!!! I can sure appreciate a nice one though. Beautiful ride you had there.

I had a few cars I wish I kept. Nothing I can say I really would go out and buy again. But this was one of my favorites. Built a 1970 455 with 72 7k3 heads, decent cam, performer intake and nice 800 cfm quadrajet. 4 spd with ladder bars and 3.23 gears, sub frame connectors. Was a solid 12 second car also. Smokey and the Bandit eat your heart out LOL!

A Datson 260Z and a pair of .357 Magnums I had while in California. (Rossi 971 and a Taurus M66)
Colt Delta Gold Cup I owned while in Florida.
The Colicovision I had while growing up. (somehow, I had more fun with that as a kid than I do with my PS2 or 360 today)

My 68 Charger R/T is one I wish I had never let get away. It had a loud transmission pilot shaft bearing. $12 to fix at the time. I got it for $400 then.

Ouch I feel the pain on that. I had a 77 Firebird Formula, my high school car. Flywheel cracked sounded like a rod, I sold it three days later the guy comes back and shows me the bad flywheel...... :(
 
Where to start, lol. My '70 Buick S Stage 1; my '71 Pontiac Trans Am; my '67 Olds 442; my '72 Kawasaki S2; my '73 Kawasaki Z1; my '75 Porsche 911s; my '04 GTO.

Other than that, I don't miss any of my old toys that I can remember at the moment!
 
My buddy had a 71 GS 350 convertible, beautiful car. I found it for him and he was in a tough time at the moment. I knew right when I saw it, it should be his. The rest is history! Love them old Buicks.

67 442, another awesome car. You see ton's of GTO's and Chevelles, but not that many 442's from the mid 60's.

We need some pictures Van!
 
I don't have much for pics. This was mostly back in the '70's, and I never thought about taking pics. I have a couple crappy Polaroids of my Stage 1, and some of my 911. Of course I have a bunch of the '04 goat, because that was as an adult, and in the digital age, but most are just memories :(
