I don't know if it was my dream car, but in high school (87-91) there was a 66 2-door post Chevy II sitting on a used car lot at the corner of South Clinton and Cedar Ave. It was gold, 6cyl 3spd on the column, no rust, shock towers were good, 4 lug wheels, drum brakes all around. Car was begging for a V8 with a 4 gear. Me and my dad went and looked at it and we hesitated. Later we went back and it was gone. A junior in my high school bought it and drove it for awhile, then it kinda disappear. That's the car that got away. It was super clean, but very grandma-ish.

A couple months later though we found a 1968 RS Camaro, red with black int and black vinyl top. 327 (origininal shortblock) with TH350 (swapped in), it was a 20 footer/20mph car. Looking back, the Nova was soo much the better car, but the Camaro was the looker. I ended up selling the Camaro back to the guy I bought it from 5 years later for $1500 more than I paid, so it kinda worked out in the end. The car he got back was far better than when he bought it. I figure at best I broke even.
