do you ever find yourself missing a car?

[sleepercoupe]

i had a bunch of stangs and liked each one for different reasons but there is one car that i still miss my 1985 LTD police car, i bought it from ebay for $415 from Longmont, Colorado. It was a nice car. Had it for about a year and my parents let my brother drive it while i was out of town and he slams it into a median doing 70mph (he just turned 16). Tore two wheels off, bent the frame, snapped an axle. Gah I miss that car. Here it is

Answer: yes, but when I adjust my aim to lead them just a bit... :lol:

Ahem. Seriously, yes. I stupidly sold my first Mustang, an '81 Ghia T-top hatch with TRXs, porno red interior, and retrofitted w/a 302, back when I became a fambly man. For what I got for it, I shoulda just kept it. Got a goddam Taurus instead. :cry: I would love to have that Stang back now. :cry:

Those old, lightweight Fairmonts with a 302 could scoot - I took driver's ed in a new '82 four-door :) Great sleeper platform!

I miss my 96 Civic that got rear ended and totalled. That thing got good gas mileage and handled really well, although it was slow it was still fun to drive after the suspension mods I did to it. Plus there were a lot of fun things that happened in the car, details will be excluded.

would I buy another one? heck no, those cars still suck.

I miss my 76 Cobra II..Those cars get absolutely no respect and with a v8 they are soooo much fun...Thanks for bringing that up.. ;)

I really miss my 64 F100. 78k original miles, 292 Y block V8. I loved that truck, and hate my ex..

[shok]

yeh i have a bit of a list actually.
my 85 GT, sold it because of financial and health probs and it needed work. i still see it around some, the fool who owns it now painted it white with spray cans and apparently ran out of paint. also painted the dash silver.
my 81 honda accord, took that thing to the dragstrip very often and won a lot of bracket races with it, also did some fun drifting in the dirt with it, this was like 10 years b4 i ever heard of "drifting"
65 karmann ghia, rust bucket in such poor shape when i bought it that it shortly died after the purchase, i still loved it.
66 baja bug, getting airborn when you hit a dip in beverly hills is a rare moment, but fun.
i could add more but i don't want to bore you guys.

I really missed my Mclaren when I sold it to pay for our wedding....That's why when the guy I sold it to decided to sell it, I bought it back! ;)

I used to miss my 1986 Capri 5.0, but then I found my 1985 Capri to take its place. Now all that I need to do is find a mint, stock red 1991 Mustang GT like the one that I had from 1991-1996.

[svo85]

I miss a few!
My 83 GT T-top I had in 1993. Near mint condition and ran like a raped ape!
My 71 Mach 1 (351 C) all original.
My 85 SVO (take care of her Kyle!)

Ahhh. memories memories!

[1quick95]

My 86 LX 5.0,i loved that car.It was pretty fast the way i got it,had a offroad h-pipe and dyno-max cat back,then i did a E-7 swap.It drove like stock and would run 13.50's on street tires and 2.73 gears.I miss my 85 Capri,it was my first car.

[v8only]

of all the cars i've had, I miss my 85 crown vic the most. Rode like a 40k caddy, and had more options than I could use, could fit 35 pumpkins in the trunk (don't ask) and fit 6-7 easily. I traded it in for my 86 gt vert though, so I don't feel too bad.

[Philly5.0girl]

I miss my '89 Lincoln Mark VII. Man that car was fun and so smooth.
But I didn't miss it so much when I heard the people I sold it to had to do about $1900 worth of work to it a few months later (which I think is a bunch of bs)

[Zap's 85 GT]

I miss my 76 Cobra II..Those cars get absolutely no respect and with a v8 they are soooo much fun...Thanks for bringing that up..

I hear you. Miss mine like crazy. It held the Ford banner high but alas ashes to ashes and rust to rust. Wish I still had the engine too. a 91 5.0 with Dart Windsor heads, B-303 cam, holley 650 DP, Weiand Stealth intake, all balanced and Could smoke em thru all 4 gears. 185/70/13 tires were pretty useless.

I miss this one:

:( I beat on it everytime I drove it (powerbrake burnouts cost me four sets of tires within 75K miles) and it never broke down. 148K miles and ran like new. Even did 16.1 at Rockingham.

[moelll]

my first mustang i ever had. '85 GT with a 8.8. for the short time i had it, it never broke down on me, (Well, a starter and a pwr. sterring hose) always started right up. and i was planning to do mods to it, but it abruptly ended come July 1st at 3:56 pm.

it was an extension of me... :((

ouch, that must have hurt. What happened?
It hydroplaned on a three-lane Interstate highway, went off-road, hit a light pole sideways, and flipped at least once(I don't know if it rolled more than once). There were a few vehicles on either side of me when it started to come around but luckily I went between two cars that were to the right of me. I ended up at rest against the passenger door and roof of the cab (the truck was at rest with the shiny side down). I wasn't wearing a seatbelt but I only sustained a slight cut on my forehead and a strained back muscle.

[fordfreak300]

yeah i woul dlove to have my last car back. It's not a Ford but my stang is no where near as fast as that car was. But then again i chose to sell the car against my wifes will. it was the rigth decision to do. now i'm working on the stang, soon i wont; miss the ol dodge anymore at all. but first the stang will have to hang the front tires. And I'm a ways away from that.

[85T-TopGT]

Two I'd like to have back were my Bright Red 80 Capri RS w/ sunroof and Recaros and my black 81 Cobra w/ t-tops. Long gone but not forgotten.

[carrew]

I miss some cars, but then I remember their problems.

[Tar 71]

If I could have back 1 car that I've owned, it would have to be a charcoal grey with black int. 91 LX50 hatch. I loved that car, but I had a brain-fart and sold it several years ago. It was one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. I should have never let it go. Tim

[ajnelson]

Well, one of the MANY cars I miss is my 83 GT I had in high school. Was a SROD car, and I guess was the fastest Mustang I have owned...

I sold it about 11 or 12 years ago, and I found it again this spring. The current owner would sell it back to me!!! Any contributions would be appreciated! Just Kidding! Hopefully I will be able to get it back one of these days!

[Anonymous]

my stangs i had are 83 notch, 84gt hatch current stang, 85gt hatch, 86lx hatch.

The ones i wish i kept were my 83 Mustang GL notchback and my 86 Mustang LX hatch, but i needed room for my 84gt ttops cause omeone in my neighborhood was jelous of my beauties they had to smash the ttops and 2 door windows with bricks when i parked it right outside my garage which is right next to my house, so got rid of the 83 and 86 for my 84 and my g/f's 88 sh^tscort lol
