Kinda know what you mean. In 2011 sold a 67 Mustang GT FB that I had for over 20 years. Drove it every day to work until 96 when a kid in a ricer truck hit me.
I repaired/restored it, and got it so nice I wouldn't drive it enough to enjoy it. Always wanted a chrome bumper Vette, so we parted ways.
I love my 71, and it's a work in progress, but man, sometimes I really miss that Ford.
