A 86 Corolla Twin cam GTS - Trunk model ( sorry no picks of the car )

Out of over 30 cars I have ever owned the following i miss the most and still wish I owned.

 

But I still think about my 87 Shelby Lancer, 86 GT Mustang, 200sx SE V6 (got crushed by a pannel truck with 30 day tags on it )

Those stupid L-bodies have got to be one of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven. Even without power seats or a tilt column. Looked nice!

 

The worst L body car was the omni, but i owned 2 of them at one point but they hold a special place also with me and very comfy for a car that small. Found one last week in craiglist for 1500 OBO with 80k miles and it looked new.

I miss my old 626 also. My mom bought it new, and I bought it from her with 56k on it. After I got it all looking nice, I rarely drove it since lowered it sucked in the snow, and if it was nice out I was driving my SQ or my bike. Since I had 7 vehicles, it went bye bye and I regret it ever since....

I had a 75 Scirocco but I miss an the 84 Audi 4000 I had in the mid 80s but I traded it for my first Conquest back in 88 so I guess it served its purpose. It wouldn't die though and I beat on it quite a bit for almost 4 years.

I kept my Starion while goin on to other cars so I never had to list it in a thread like this.

 

But I miss my old 77 MK2 Ford Escort, modified with Toyota 5spd and side draught carbs etc

had a 75 one as well as a 69 MK1 great old cars that cost a bit now to replace.

 

89 Lancer 4x4 Turbo (4g61) 93 Lancer Evo1, 86 Mitsubishi Eterna (sirius dash engine) S15 Silvia jap spec 6 speed etc.

Also I got a Mivec Diamante at the moment for a dd, $1300 for 199kw of luxury I reckon I keep it for a bit.

Like Burton I got bit by the VW bug. I'll place them in order.

 

53' VW Bug- all original completely down to the 50's plates. Unfortunately, one day my sister "borrowed" it and let her crack head boyfriend drive it, straight into a POLE!!

 

'84 Jetta DIESEL- awsome car- crazy mileage.

 

'87 Scirocco- fun to drive,

 

A couple of GTI's.

 

The one I miss most, '84 Nissan 200 SX turbo, I was the second owner.

Nice! I love those 80's model 200s Oh, and I also had another VW- a 83 Cabriolet, but I don't really miss that car much. My 93 300ZX covertible is much less gay LOL.

I miss my dad's 1970 Corvette Stingray. Hurricane Ivan dropped a garage on it. Fortunately we sold it to a multi-millionaire car collector (not joking) who had it restored and on the show car circuit in less than a month. I would never have been able to fix that car.

 

One I miss the most -- 1990 Ford Taurus SHO. Unbelievably good car. Put together as good or better than any BMW or Mercedes I've ever driven. If I could find it again, I'd buy it back. No telling where it is now. Literally cried the day I sold it, but I had to because the trans was on the verge of melting down and that would have been a $4000 fix.

 

I miss my 75 Bricklin, but I don't miss owning it. Or trying to keep it from leaking.

 

Only other car I sold that I shouldn't have and/or miss terribly was my 88 Jag XJS. It was the last car my dad ever rode in before he passed away. It was a V12 model and surprisingly reliable. I got rid of it when I moved to Tennessee because we couldn't get it smog-legal. If I'd known I would have been back in Alabama less than three years later I would have paid to have it stored somewhere.

 

I don't really miss my first Conquest. Total money pit. But I will miss the two I have for sale right now terribly when they're gone.

1980 Chevy Monza, coupe, not the hatchback. Red oxide primer, an almost bulletproof 4 speed from an early 70's Vega, posi, 66' 327, headers, reasonably quiet exhaust. Total sleeper. I laid waste to MANY Camaros and Mustangs with it. Wish I had that one back.

Probably my first quest, '87. I think part of the reason I miss it so much is that it I learned to wrench on that car, and it taught me tons of things about working on cars. When it was broke, I (mostly) learned to fix it. When it ran, I could credit myself (and a lot of SQC online for help!) for fixing it. It was rare, fast (to me), and had my blood, sweat and tears in it.

 

Had a good amount of fun with my '95 Prelude VTEC also. Well...a lot of run until the oil pump went out :(

My first driver. 87 siver conquest. I got it stock and unhacked, and put a lot of work into that car.

White 89 conquest. This was overall a really nice car.

89 Fiji SHP sunroof car. I sold it because it needed paint and i couldnt find a shop i trusted and could afford. It had a rebuilt motor and was a really stong runner. Not really sure whatever happened to this one, i sold it to a guy in VA beach, he never gave me all my money and apparently it got stolen from him at some point...

I miss my 2001 Civic EX...

 

It ran perfectly, the only problem I had was with the struts that I couldn't afford to replace. :( Lots of good memories in that car... Lots of bad ones too, but plenty more good ones. :)
