How Many Cars Have You Had?
« on: November 12, 2007, 08:25:23 pm »

Believe it or not, I have had well over 300 since 16.  I counted them about a year ago when I found a shoe box of State Farm Policies going back over 20 years.  Sitting on my property now I have 9 and 2 trailers.

Well, in order starting when i was 15...

1.   68 Mustang 3spd 200cid 6 banger, replaced it with a 250cid from a Maverick, after boring it .60 and flattening the head---man she screamed after that.

2.   65 Mustang coupe 289 2bl low miles.  Restored it for concours correct car shows and won many awards...until an 8 point buck jumped in front of me.

3.    65 Mustang GT Convertible, 'A' code 289 4bl 3spd. bought from original owner.  Still sitting in my garage.

4.    79 Chevy pick up.  Took the 350 out and put a 383 STROKER in her.  She hauls...um, whatever I want. ;D  Still have it.

5.    91 Suburban.  Started a family, had to get the burb.  From Arizona--so it had never been rained on ;)  350 3/4 ton 4x4     Still have it.

I am 40 yrs old now and I have only had three daily drivers.  The 68, which took me through college and then some. The 79 pickup, now the 91 sub.  The convertible is just a weekend pleasure thing.  So is my 79 now.

I have too many vehicles at my residence now with the two trucks and the convertible and the Sheriff's car.  My wife has her Cherokee out there.  It looks like a used car lot out here.

I almost forgot.  I bought 70 firebird (bad motor) and a 76 trans am (bad body, great motor) from a buddy.  He was going to swap the engines. the 76 had a newly rebuilt 400 cid 4bl w/ header and a 4 spd muncie w/ posi trac rear.  I paid $1,000 and did the swap myself.   

I took that awesome 70 firebird out for a test drive after all was completed and it nearly threw me in the ditch.  Wasn't used to a posi trac.  The 400 put out some serious hp, backed up w/ the 4 spd muncie and new clutch, man, she was shredding the tires. I knew i would either get fired from being cop or dying if i kept that joker.  Had to sell it.

Never owned a car in my life, only trucks. My first one was an 81GMC. Put a lot of miles on it and decided I better get a new one before I start having troubles.
Bought an 88Chevy"Bic disposable piece of crap and didnt like it so I bought a 88 Ford which was even worse.
Then I found another 81 GMC and will probable drive it for the rest of my life. Currently im 38YO.

I had couple

1.76 Chevy LWB Heavy Half- it has a .060 350 with a th400 and Holley Projection setup - Still own it but sits more than driven also its wore out

2. 89 Chevy Beretta- Been upgraded from a 2.8 to a 3.1 and would outrun newer Mustangs
when I was in college - Got rearended because a woman didnt want to stop at a light before
turning right.

3. 89 Ford Ranger Ext Cab 4x4 - Couldnt kill the motor but transmission would always go out - Sold it
due to tranny problems all the time - Bought this one in place of the Beretta.... it was hard to find a
Chevy then that I was looking for in my price range.

4. 84 Chevy LWB single wheel 1 ton - had a 305 I got for free out a 86 p/u and had a 4 speed - bought it for $600... spent about $150 to get it running and sold it for $1100 - The body was perfect just needed paint.... I could have asked for $2000 maybe.

5. 62 Chevy Stepside - My dad gave me this truck.... My dad was the 3rd owner and his dad was the 2nd.... was a old farm truck with only two small dents in it and a straight 6 and 3 speed on the column - When my dad had it he added a v-8 and a th350 and also the front crossmember from a mid 70's chevy and a rearend from the same truck... this thing has been a work in progress since 88 so its in many pieces in my dads shop

Wife's Cars
1. 91 Chevy s-10 Blazer 4 door 4x4 - it had a 4.3 v-6 and a 700R4- she bought it back from a family member for $200....motor had a melt down due to retards.... bought another truck for motor and after selling everything that we didnt need probally had about $1000 tied up in it after I put a motor in it and spent alittle time on it - traded it due to no time and baby in the house

2. 99 Ford Ext Cab SWB - had a 4.2 v-6 and a 5 speed - We traded the blazer to take over the payments on this turd... it was so slow on take off and driving around but it got 20mpg all the time and it would pull a heavy trailer, it pulled the 1 ton chevy from waco to austin but couldnt put it in 5th on the trip - trade it in for another vehicle

3.06 Chevy Cobalt - traded the 99 for this car - Great car it really runs its quick enough for what it is and is much faster than the "FORD" - This thing has the Ecotec 4 cylinder and its a auto.....
