>Tfw my dad owned one of these in the 80's and now I can't find any
What cool cars have your parents owned you wish you had?
My dad got his dad's 1968 Corvette passed down to him. Like a good baby boomer he sold it.
Went to the junkyard in 2006
>>14061236
Wow. Idk why I have the 180px version in my /o/ folder
My dad had a Porsche 924 that he bought new in the 80s. He sold it off before I could drive it though.

Charger Daytona.
According to my dad my mom would've lost her license 10 times after buying it had she not known every cop in town through him.

Not per se a cool car, but dad owned a white Peugeot 405 saloon. Spent miles and miles in the backseat of that one, and to this day I still know the license plate (HD ZR 22). Really wish prices on 405 Mi16's would drop, but they won't - nevermind finding one in the white color he had.
Also, he owned a Fiat 1500 Spider, pic related, which I loved. I'm really hyped about the new 124 because of that, but I know the guy he solsd it to, and I'll keep chasing that one. Red car, black hardtop, wind in your hair motoring, I'd just love. Or maybe restomod a barnfind one or something, I've got some contacts in Italy for that. Swap in a modern 1.4 T-Jet, and it'd be amazing.

My grandpa owned a Mazda 323 (4th or 5th gen, 3 door hatch), which I really liked. Might get the AWD turbo one as a first car.
And then there's my late mum's car. she owned a Peugeot 806 to drive us around, nothing special, but in the weekend, she and dad each had one of these: a Neckar Jagst 770. Basically, a Fiat 600, built by an NSU daughter company, with suicide doors, and a fabric roof for sunny motoring. Lovely car, and apparently only 4 remain in the entire country here (NL). Dad still has his, and he's slowly restoring it, and he wanted to sell mum's car. At which point I may or may not have stolen the registration paperwork, got the title transfered onto my name, and promptly got kicked out of the house. I don't really care, you just don't sell my dead mum's car. Things are slowly getting better with dad, but the only thing I need to wish for, is to get this thing restored, and up and running again.
Pic related, it's the exact same color.

>mom leased a e34 back in 95
>was born in 94 so I don't remember it much
>just bought one a few months ago and I love it
>>14061320
>>14061342
Let's see if I can remember my family's entire vehicle history:
Dad and mom owned that 405 and 806 together.
Both had a Jagst 770, one blue, one grey.
Grandpa 1 had several 323's, but couldn't work a clutch for his life. Drove one untill it fell apart, one untill he crashed it (some kind of diabetic attack, idk, I was 4 or 5), and last one we sold when he died.
Grandma 1 had a 405 estate, which got followed by a 3 door 206, which she kinda hated and had electronics issues, and is now driving a 206 SW, and she really likes it. Made me a bit proud.
Grandpa 2 bought a brand new 4A-FE E110 Corolla 4 door. Dunno when he did though, I was born in 94. Drove it untill last year, and it was falling apart. Dude was a carpenter, and kept all his tools in the back, all the time, and lots of wooden...stuf he needed for something. Anyways, he never replaced his shocks or springs or anything, but one day he sold the factory, and we took everything out (last year). And then we discovered that it had no functional suspension anymore.
I helped him look for a new car, and he eventually setlled on a '13 autmoatic Mitsubishi Colt, which he really likes. Not like it matters anyways, he'll lose his license within a year due to his eyes deteriorating, but we'll just let him do his thing and keep his freedom. He's only had two fender benders so far, not too bad for an 78 year old fella.
>>14061228
My dad owned a turd gen camaro and sold it to a lady
that lady later got married to Kevin Harvick
she recently sold the camaro for around $8000 to some guy
now the guy is asking $20,000 for it because KEVIN HARVICK KINDA OWNED IT
A '79 Buick Lesabre with a purple on purple colour scheme and a fuckhuge 7.something litre engine making less power than my Accord
>tfw some asshole with a snowplough totaled it right before I got my license
My dad had a 69 chevelle and a third gen camaro
he had a calibra 4x4 turbo as well
>>14061228
My dad had one of these. It was surprisingly fast for what it is from what he's told me. He also had several old Renaults that had built motors that I'd like to have.
Basically almost any car my dad owned up until the late 70s, the ones I can remember are:
56 Fairlane Convertible
58 Impala
63 Catalina
64 Riveria
64 El Camino
66? Or 69 Riviera
68 Firebird 350 HO 4 speed Bench seat
72ish Camaro
74? 260z (only Japanese car he has owned)
>>14061978
Also 72 Monte Carlo
70 El Camino
73 El Camino
>>14061228
my parents only ever had boring cars:
VW Beetle
VW Beetle
VW Golf Mk2
Mazda 323 hatch
Mazda 323 wagon
Mazda 323 sedan
Hyundai Atos
Hyundai Matrix (most powerful car they ever had)
Ford Focus C-Max
Hyundai i20 (first brand new car they ever bought)
I think the most interesting car anyone in my family ever owned was a baby blue W123 Mercedes my grandpa had in the early 90s.
>tfw I'm the only one in my family who cares about cars
Some of the cars my dad had:
67 GTO
69 Corvette
two 69 Z/28s
73 454 Corvette
69 Nova SS 396
64 Corvette roadster
78 Corvette
90 Corvette
93 Corvette
64 Impala
The list goes on. He's dead now, and I dont have shit to show for it. About 6 or 7 years ago my mom sold a carcass of a 911 turbo, and now I sorely wish I hadn't thought it was too far gone of a project.
1971 Cuda, 440 6pack, 4 speed with a pistol grip shifter. His brother rolled it down a hill and they left it.
1968 Camaro he bought for 50 bucks. Guy went off road with it and ended up in a creek and left it. My dad used his tow truck, pulled it out, got it running again and traded it for a 72 LeMans. Traded that for a 71 Mustang of some kind. Sold that to his brother and bought something else and then met my mom.
Late 70's must have been glorious with muscle cars being a dime a dozen.
>>14062625
I also forgot, my mom had a 70s corolla when she was in Japan.
AE92 GT-S kinda ticked that it's gone, last manual vehicle in the household and still never got the chance to learn.
>>14061228
>tfw Honda stole the front end for the later prelude
>>14062625
Eh. I was there and at the time they were just old cars that weren't really worth much. Of course as a teen I thought they were fantastic in much the same way as /o/ does Nineties Japanese stuff.
>'85 RX7
He always talks about how much he misses it, and how he wish he could find another one to drive some day
>Fiat X19
just cuz
Ford Escort mk1 RS2000, seen one in mint condition going for £20k here, he had it before i was born though. Apart from that my dad just had normal saloon cars after his job gave him a company car.
Mom has always had a thing for coupes, in her 20s she had
>1969 Nova SS
>1970s era camaro
>1970s era mustang
>Chevy Monza
>Trans Am
Pic related is what I would want if I could pick
Only really interesting car my parents owned. Identical to the pic, but it had a factory original Twingo-esque ragtop from the windscreen to the boot lid. They had it from like 1981 to 1997 and I was pretty sad to see it go.
>>14063374
Forgot the pic, sorry
86 Capri. He still owns it. It's rusting away in his garage.
My mom rode this bitch around when she was pregnant with me. When I was born my dad sold it to his dad to buy a Grand Cherokee. Grandpa probably just let it rot in a field until it sunk into the ground. Who knows.
>>14061228
i had an XT6 back in californee. it was a fun car and pretty quick.

My Dad had a cool MK1 Fiesta.
But he also around 30 motorcycles in his life.
All the glorious Japanese line-up from the late 70s to the late 80s.
>Ninjas
>250RDLC
>900XJ
>500SR
>750 Commando (it was in mild condition though)
And various other interesting models.
Dad had a white FC in the late 90s
Dad always talked to me about how he used to own a blue Datsun 280ZX in the 80s and raced it. One of the only good things to come from my dad
>>14063977
Guy near me has like 6 Fiestas he has been trying to sell since last spring.
http://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/cto/5280993802.html
I went and checked em out; they seem like pretty nifty little cars.
My dad had an SVO. It was going to be my first car when I got my permit, but it was stolen one night while we were eating dinner.
>>14061228
my mom had a 280zx and my stepdad had a subaru XT. She says its funny that I like her old 280xz.
>>14066535
Did you also tell her you like her thighs and ass?
>>14061228
E34 M5, sold it for a pile of crap E36 M3
blunder of the century
>>14066544
Of course. Then I grabbed her keys to the 9-2x aero and walked out the door.
>>14061228
Do you mean for me to own it or get to drive it all the time? Well currently my dad has a 997 and had a 996. The 996 was the first car I drove all the time after I got my licence.
My mom owned very pedestrian cars and tfw no dad, but my grandpa did own a brand new 1980's something Grand Wagoneer. My mom described it as being the top trim but nobody in my family are car people do that's dubious. They only put 3000 miles on it and then sold it a year or 2 later because it was too much car to handle.
>>14061228
My mom had a 76 mustang, and my dad had a 78 f150, he had the f150 up until i was about 13... then he sold it, would have loved to keep it and restore it n stuff...
My dad had a '73 barracuda when he was in high school back in the mid '80s. Had his buddy paint it purple in the school's paint booth. Pic is what it would have looked like
My dad had a 1976 Pontiac 50th anniversary grand prix in gold.
No, absolutely none, unless you consider rear engined commie Skodas cool or are the adorable Aussie cunt that loves Trabants.
>>14068010
And My mother had a 3rd Gen firebird that she bought new when she moved out at 17. Pretty cool for a mom
>>14068018
This time with sample pic
>>14061228
Dad had a 76 Jag, would kill to have it, but his brother wrecked it
My mom had a 70 442 that was her first car
Sold it when my parents divorced in 95
>>14061228
My dad had pic related with a 426 Wedge. Mom drove a 455 TA when my dad met her. Guess big blocks were in my blood.
>>14068018
Travis is that you
My dad had two of these (pic related) his were red though, He also had an Alpine A5 but then I had to sell them to have a family car...
>>14061318
I find that hard to believe, aren't Daytonas rare?
Dad had one of these not long ago. Sold it when we moved to australia. Tfw i got my license 3 weeks later

If I could have any car from the past that any of my parents have had it would be my dad's RX7. First gen, silver. I was like very little when he sold it (like several months)
I was told it was his favorite car he'd ever had other than a white 80's Corolla he drove for years. Super clean. But we were poor back then and couldn't have three cars (we also had a Plymouth Fury)
The most exciting car he's had since the RX7 and the Fury is a '96 Subaru Legacy L Wagon, 2.2
>tfw my being born made my dad stop owning interesting cars
>tfw
>>14061228
My dad had a Corvette C4 but it caught fire and boomers only sell automatics around here
>>14061228
My dad has basically just owned newish examples of a parade of /o/ shitboxes - AW11, Z3, coupla e36s, and he has an S2k as his fun vehicle atm. All fairly nice, but not exactly hard to get hold of.
He had two MGBs a long time ago, which is kinda cool I guess, but he tells me that in hindsight they were a bit shit. AW11 was miles better, apparently.

It's still sitting out in his garage with all the parts and stuff. It's just buried under a lot of things.
One of these days I'll push him into letting us work on it.
>>14067891
my grandpa used to have a Ford Escort mk 1 with a pinto 2 litre 4 speed that he basically worshipped.
Loved it so much he painted it his favourite colour. Brown. That he painted himself. With a paint roller. It was so fucking bad i wish i had a photo
Parents had a few hundred aussie tanks. Their friends made fun of them for buying so many shit cars in short periods of time. I like the 70's styling so it was kind of cool
From 8 total Kingswoods, 5 Falcons, 3 Fairlanes, 3 Toranas, 2 Escorts, 5 Valiants, a Monaro, 2 Chargers, a whole bunch of v8's, a multitude of Datsun 1200's and thats just from the top of my head and the ones they decided to remember/tell me about. Its rediculous
>tfw no pawg stepmom to sit on my dick until I splooge
My dad had a mk1 Scirocco. My mom wrecked it.
79 Celica GT hatch. Don't want one it's just that it stands out among the rest I've seen him drive.

Nothing of value was lost
