1912 and 1992; there were three candidates in each election, including an incumbent President who lost.
1912 was the ultimate, including a fairly-good incumbent President who created no problems, a great ex-President (TR) who still had much to offer, and the winner Woodrow Wilson.
1968? If only Wallace hadn't been a racist.
Perot wasn't TR, but there is no question that had he won he would have left his mark. Perot won more popular votes than any 3rd Party candidate ever, and proportionally more than any since TR (but no electoral votes -- very different from racists Thurmond and Wallace who had their support concentrated in "Kukluxistan". That's a smear of the South then -- not now).
