Ever miss your old cars?

For some reason I'm having a day where I miss my old cars. My souped up GTP, my souped up GTO, my flat black trans am...

anyone have some awesome/fun non-mustang cars on their past that they miss?

I miss my old '05 GTO. Cammed, headers, and all the usual suspects for mods, but still less HP than the Mustang w/ just a tune.

Or my first car that i really cut my teeth on. '98 Grand Prix GTP Daytona 500 Pace Car (#1321/1500) Please excuse the garish decals, they're what the Track Cars had.

If i ever get crazy rich, I'm going to try to buy back either the cars I sold, or a equal replacement. Except my first '88 Camaro. That was a v6. Comparable IROC would work fine as a replacement.

Sweet GTO

I always worry about missing sold cars. I've yet to get rid of one, but the S550 really has me thinking about getting rid of the Bullitt...

Especially since you can get it in that guard green. Fastback styled new body with a couple trimmings can make for a nice Bullitt tribute.

I spent MANY hours during my college years on clubgp.com forums. I had a 2000 GT coupe, true green metallic, street scenes grill, GMPP suspension, etc. LOVED that car! Only sold it when I got my 2013 Mustang GT in May/June of 2012.

I had a bunch of late 60's vintage GTO's that were show worthy. I thought I would miss them. I don't. I think I miss my old 81 z28 .But I'm sure what I miss is being a kid again because I owned it in the 80's. Nah I think the best of the bunch is the 11 GT/CS I own now.

I miss my '71 Chevelle, my '71 Super Beetle, and my '93 Trans Am.

The '71 Chevelle got restored (more) after I sold it, the '71 Super Beetle got totalled, and the '93 Trans Am is getting restored/modified by the current owner. I also had a real clean all original '80 Z28 that the guy I sold it to keeps up real nice. Last time I heard anything about the car he still had it parked next to his 1980's 442 or Hurst Olds in his garage/barn.

I miss my 1955 Ford 2 door Custom sedan. It only had a 272 ci V8, but had a 3 speed manual transmission. It was a kind of pinkish tan color. I always liked the 1955 and 1956 Ford design.

I miss my miata too. Probably the most fun to drive slow car ever. I can cheat and borrow it from my father and drive it. I gave it to him when I bought a new car.

I also had a 67 mustang convertible that I sold when my ex became pregnant. I never finished her and always regretted letting her go. The mustang, not the ex wife.

Yeah dude, I can just build essentially the same car I have now, but better in every way. Plus the ecoboost is really appealing to me, since I'd be using it as my DD. the 302/C4 combo in the II doesn't exactly get great mileage

Yep. A couple trimmings. Spoiler delete. Wheels. Blackout grill. I see BULLITT all day long out of that new body. It would make a nice Mach 1 tribute too.
