If you had to admit it, what was/is your favorite non Mopar vehicle that you ACTUALLY OWNED. Mine was a Toyota Tacoma pick up.

I have always liked the 1977-79 Impala/Caprice 2-doors with the fastback/bubble/whatever it's called rear window glass.
Greg
I briefly owned one in '91 when I still lived 'back East'. Car had less than 50K original miles. In quick passing, the car looked like it just needed a buff and interior detail to be showroom fresh, BUT.........the frame was swiss cheese. I so badly wanted to find a donor chassis for it. Instead, I drove it around for about a two weeks before the rear axle assembly tried to come out of the car. Sold it to someone who bought the engine/trans for a little more than the $100 I paid for the whole car. Other than Mopar? Don't really have any 'favorites', but I've always liked the big GM's of the'60's and '70's. Always wished that Ma had made a US variant of the ElCamino.......

I have three -
A 1978 Toyota Celica that was my daily driver for many years. Took a licking and kept on ticking. Handled pretty well, Cruised on the highway at 75 mph all day. Decent mileage and built like a tank. I was rear ended a couple of times in stop and go traffic and the most it got was a little wrinkle in the quarter panel.
My second would probably be the 2013 Corvette GS that I currently own. It's plenty fast, handles amazing, comfortable and looks good (to me).
The third would be my wife's 2009 Honda Accord V6. It's a great daily driver and road trip car. Plenty of power, very comfortable and handles well.
'67 is an abbreviation of 1967 67' is an abbreviation of 67 feet They are not interchangeable.

Actually owned would probably be my '72 Vette because I have owned it for some 50 years. I sold my first car a '71 340 'cuda to my brother (he still has it) to get this '72 because I wanted A/C. I've upgraded it to a 383 stroker and Tremec TKO-600. Been a great car.

Okay, I did NOT actually OWN this car, my dad did. But when I got older he let me drive it some. Since I did some of the maintenance on it. Yeah, I'd love to have it... a 1950 Jaguar Mark V Drophead Coupe. Absolutely was one of the cars that helped give Jaguar its reputation of being high maintenance. I don't care, she was like a beautiful woman. So many family trips, adventures and stories revolve around this car it's crazy. In that aspect alone the Jag is very special. Dad was a chiropractor and when his x-ray machine went kaput, the Jag got sold to pay for a new x-ray machine. It ended up going somewhere in the Chicago area. Have never seen it since... But there'd be no way I could afford it even if I COULD find it!

Favorite that we have actually owned, or fantasy favorite if money was no object? Actually owned My 1st car was a 70 Chevelle. No SS...just a tired small block. I would LOVE to have another one (preferably a BB)but prices for a nice example are pretty high now.
