I’ve got my all time favorite car—the 68 fastback. Fell in love with it when my 4th grade gym teacher showed up with a brand new Highland Green one. Only took about 29 years to finally get one (although not my first or last Mustang).
Having said that, if not a Mustang, then what? My first car was a 66 Dodge Charger. Loved the long fastback style (see a pattern?), bucket seats front and rear, full length console, trap door to the trunk and enough room for a full size bed back there. Owned a couple of other Chargers back in the day and would love to have another one. Still love Mopar muscle.

Alas, everything else that I might want instead is out of sight financially.
Top three, in no particular order--
4.2L Jag E-type roadster
65-67 Corvette roadster, SB, 4-speed
73-74 Firrebird SD-455 4-speed--a buddy bought one of these new just after high school, except automatic--14.0 @ 103 1/4-mile bone stock.

So I could sell it and buy two or more of the cars I really want.
