Holy Moly, Here are the ones I remember, I am leaving out about 75 parts cars/junkers. I currently drive a $1300 Roadmaster wagon daily that looks pretty good while my friends all drive new or newer SUVs, Acuras, etc. (my wife is not terribly fond of that) This is what allows me to play with old Buicks and still feed and clothe a couple of rugrats! I have come to realize that driving 30+ miles to work every day does not call for a brand new $30000 car. 1.1970 Skylark Coupe (315hp, 350) 2.1973 Buick Regal 455 3.1969 Pontiac Lemans Convertible 4.1971 GS Stage 1 Convertible (still mine) 5.1970 Skylark Convertible (still mine) 6.1970 GS Stage 1 convertible(still crappy, still mine) 7.1971 Chevy Monte Carlo 8.1981 Buick Regal 9.1969 GS stage 1 coupe(still crappy, still mine) 10.1989 Chevy Cavalier Wagon 11.1972 GS 350 Convertible(still crappy, still mine) 12.1972 Skylark Convertible 13.1971 Skylark Coupe 14.1970 Skylark Post Coupe 15.1970 Sportwagon (still mine) 16.1994 Ford Escort Wagon(still mine, 268,000 miles) 17.1995 Ford Taurus Wagon 18.1999 Ford Taurus(still mine) 19.1970 GS 455 Coupe(still crappy, still mine) 20.1971 GS 350 Coupe(still mine) 21.1992 Buick Roadmaster Wagon(still mine)

Mine's a pretty short list (definitely compared to most of you)..... 1. '76 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ 400 (great car, but couldn't afford the gas in college) 2. '83 Honda Accord 5-speed (really fun to drive, could chirp third gear, dependable as an anvil, drove to Mars and back, never deviated from 33mpg, parted with when I got pickup fever) 3. '92 Ford Ranger XLT - 4cyl/5spd (really liked that truck, totalled thanks to some numbnut) 4. '90 S-10 Blazer Tahoe 4.3 (was wife's until my pickup was totalled, really fun truck, seemingly indestructible, drove until wife threatened to have it hauled off) 5. '01 Camry (don't really care for it, wife controlled that purchase in exchange for keeping mouth shut about the Buick moving in, maintenance-[while infrequent]-way too expensive) And, of course, the Centurion... oh, yeah!
have had 42 cars since 1981 and some were part outs but most were buy resell or fix and sell I'm now 41 years old, buickapollo455
This is probably going to use up a few brain cells. 22 years of ownership, starting in 1983( I know, I am young): 1980 Ford Pinto (ran with no oil and rust on the dipstick!) 1978 Monte Carlo (350 with NOS, before it was cool) 1970 GS 455 (had it for about 10 years, shouldn't have sold) 1979 Monte Carlo 1969 GS 350 1968 GS 400 (455 four speed) 1970 Skylark (455) 1980's Honda CVCC (great college car) 1980 Chevy Malibu 1984 Honda CRX SI 1980 Olds Cutlass 1979 Olds Cutlass 1978 Olds Cutlass 1979 El Camino 1980 El Camino 1979 Pontiac Gran Prix 1978 Monte Carlo 1965 El Camino 1979 Monte Carlo 1979 Malibu 1984 Mustang 1963 Rivy 1995 Honda Accord 1990 T-bird Supercoupe 5 speed 1980 Cutlass 1993 T-Bird LX 1968 Camaro 1991 Supercoupe AT 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited 1971 GS 350 1969 Rivy (this is when cjp69 started) 1967 GS 340 1964 Skylark (23k miles, never should have sold) 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII 1969 GS 400 Convertible 1987 GN 2002 Durango RT 1986 Mazda 626 (not sure what I was thinking, had for 1 week) 1990 Honda Civic (much better commuter than the Mazda) 1995 Volvo 850 GLT 1994 Lexus LS 400 1971 Skylark Convertible 1967 GS 400 (455) 1970 GS Stage 1 Wow, that's more cars than I am old, and I probably missed a couple. BTW, All of the cars were complete, running and driving cars, not counting any parts cars, etc. The ones in this color I still own.
Been driving since '87. I've accumulated a few cars since then. I've had about 21 that I can think of and currently have 15. Most run, some are being restored, several are continuous projects. Need to move again for expansion- ran out of room for more buildings. I hate to leave anything sitting out in the weather other than the field cars. Is it a sickness? My insurance company seems to think so. Interesting topic, I've never actually sat down to make a list before today. 67 455 Riviera (dormant project) 69 327 Camaro (active project) 70 350 Skylark (driver) 72 2dr 400 Catalina (tire burner) 73 4dr 400 Catalina (sold) 74 350 Monte Carlo (scrapped) 75 destroked 400 Monza (race car some day) 76 2dr 455 LeSabre (raced, continuous project)) 76 4dr 430 LeSabre (body restoration- need rear bumper) 76 2dr 350 Cutlass Supreme (sold) 77 305 Monza coupe (scrapped) 77 454 Chev camper special (tow vehicle) 78 327 Monza sport coupe (raced) 78 K5 Blazer (continous project) 80 327 Monza coupe (sold) 80 Buick 350 powered Sunbird coupe(sold) 83 455 Regal (dormant project) 85 T-Regal (dormant project) 86 Hyundai Excel hatchback (field car #1) 86 Hyundai Excell notchback (field car #2) 96 9C1 Caprice (salt car) 70 Wheel Horse (40+MPH capable)
I've always wondered what it would be like to be in the business of selling cars and coming across many fine used ones. I'll bet you've had the urge to keep more than your fair share of them!
