Ever miss your old ride????

[RUNINAGT]

Every now and then someone will tell me. Hey man I saw your old Stang on the road today.
Glad to hear it's still kicking, but sad in the same breath. I really wish I had not of gotten rid of it.
Was a 86GT, T-Tops, auto, stock engine wise with only mods being turbo II mufflers and panel K&N air filter. Oh and silencer removed. Had a friend of mine paint it, and in this pic the paint was about 4-5 yrs old. He did a great job on it. Added the stock 16" Pony's and ya can't see but it had a GT spoiler. The paint was Ford red and Black Cherry. In the sun light the Black red turn a light shade of red.
I replace the entire A/C system and radiator @ the beginning of the summer that I sold it. The compressor and other items were the O.E. stuff. Oh we replaced the heater core then because the Evaporator was replaced also.
When I sold the car it has 230,000ish miles on it. Still with the O.E. engine, tranny, and rear end. Also had new chrome 16" Cobra's. Sold for $3000.00 4-5yrs ago. Needed money for new house that was built and I had a 90SC T-bird @ the same time.
Sorry for long post but damn I miss that thing, can any of ya relate?
Here it is. Later

I miss both my fox bodies from time to time, but I always find myself much more happeir where I am now

I don't really miss either of my fox bodies that much, i'd rather have something with more modern comforts and that is more reliable so i can drive it everyday. What i do miss, however, is the low-end that the pushrod motor had. You really have to spin these 4.6's to get them going. A nice 5.0 with gears doesn't take as much effort.

I miss my 65 Mustang, my 74 Mustang ll, and the one vehicle I miss the most was my 72 Jeep Commando!

The 65 was my high school car and the Mustang ll and the Jeep went cross country!

I miss my 85 LTD. I know it's not a Stang, but it had a tuned up carbed 302 in it. Bought from an old dude for 500 bucks. Best deal I ever made. Damn motor was so strong, it would idle roll to 15 mph on it's own.

It had an 85 speedo, but it pulled 120 easy. People thought I was crazy for driving a 2 ton land yacht that fast. Damn, Might have to get another one.

 

[Bad92GT]

^^^ What did you pull that trailor with???

 

[mustangillusion]

I had a 93 4 cyl lx, that I traded off for a 02 f-150. I dont know what the hell I was thinking. It was probably the cleanest 4 banger on the net. It was CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. It was in perfect condition, absolutly zero flaws. I think about that car almost every day.

whatcha mean?

You know I also had a 84 4cyl that was converted into a V8. Brand new paint w/ground effects kit, wheels, and engine (to that car anyway).
The shop that installed the engine screwed it up and from what I heard left a fuel line loose and it came off going over the Cooper River bridge (big bridge here in Charleston) I downshifted to 4th and then silence next thing,,,FLAMES coming from between the cracks in the hood where it meets the fenders . Stopped the car jumped out, flames were coming out from under the car, ran back to my mom's car behind me and watched it burn . It took 30 minutes for fire dept. to respond. Too late, car was a loss. Firefighter told me I could go look @ it after it was out and the dash was melted onto the floor board :damnit:
HORRIBLE JUST HORRIBLE.

 

[85ragtop]

Is that the bridge they made taller?

 

[RUNINAGT]

YUP that's the one. It sucked that night.

 

[85ragtop]

I bet.
