2020 A35, @021 F250, 96 Mustang
Here's my history (reverse order)
2003 - 03 C320 SC
1997 - 96 Mustang Vert (V6)
1990 - 88 Mazda RX-7 turbo
1986 - 86 Mustang notch (5.0L)
1985 - 66 Mustang coupe (6 cyl)
1983 - 80 Honda Accord (bio-degradable body...)
1980 - 76 Mustang (302)
1978 - 73 Datsun B210 (POS)
I love the C320 Coupe for its quickness and agility
I love the Mustang cuz its a nice convertible (and it'll be quite a bit faster when I get new heads and a Vortech SC on it this spring)
I really miss the RX-7 Turbo - it was really fast and handled exceptionally well...

Was it a wagon, in the USA? The sedans weren't sold in N America after 1970 or so (1974 in Europe).
I've owned at least one 404 since 1981, great cars!
Especially the Pininfarina-bodied 404 Coupés and Cabriolets with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection!

Unfortunately, at 3200 miles my C320 has had more unscheduled dealer/shop visits so far than all of the above except the 78 733i, which spent more time in service than on the road (but it had 110,000 miles on the ODO when I bought it), and the SHO, which went through new clutches every 6000 miles or so (all under warranty -- Ford could never get a proper tranny to match the awesome Yamaha engine).
