I do temporarily. It's a parts bus that I bought just for the motor (good 2.0L that's going to go into my '67). I've got a guy that's going to buy the rest of it as soon as I can get the motor out of it.

alright... keep in mind that i'm 20 years old...
1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle (free) - rotted to nothing, parted it out
1976 Dodge Dart Swinger ($1200) - Busted K-frame, in the garage waiting to be fixed
1983 Toyota Celica Supra ($300) - sold to a guy who planned to restore it
1987 Dodge Charger ($150) - wouldn't pass new emissions laws, sold to a friend
1987 Chevy S-10 Blazer ($350) - Hit by a woman in a van
1994 Saturn SL1 ($3000) - Blown engine, waiting to be replaced and resold
1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia ($800 + $3000 restoration) - More body work being done from the wheel that fell off, the deer that i hit, the rubbing hinges, my neighbor backing into it, etc. should be back on the road soon.
1998 Mazda 626 LX ($4000) - My daily driver right now
and coming soon: 1963 (i think) Baja Bug (getting it from my uncle.)
so yeah, i'm only 20 and i'm off to a good start. lol

I am going to be 40 this year and I quit counting after 100+ cars.
I buy and sell all the time (it keeps me in toys)
When I was in my early 20's it use to be 60's/70's Mustangs and Camaro's
I have striped over 40+ VW's(nothing worth building) so I dont feel to bad.
I have had my fair share of Air cooled VW drivers, but I am getting more in the sand/off road thing than the street.
I just wish I had a place to put all the cool cars that I bought for a $100 back then that are worth about $1000+ now.
I started keeping track of them at age 15 with my first car (1969 firebird)
Basket case FREE (no motor or trans)after I finished all the body work someone came by and wanted to buy it...At 15 it's hard to pass up $1000 so I sold it ...and bought my brothers 1969 Mustang fastback(he blew the motor up in) $500 and I made him leave the new tires on it.
He needed the cash to buy a 1967 firebird. |
