What collector cars do you own?

Don't need no stinkin fine print. It didn't say TOY CARS sonny!

 

'58 Chevy wagon
'49 Chevy 4 door
'55 Buick 2 door HT
'64 Galaxie 4 door

 

Currently have:
1957 Chevy Bel-Air, surf green, grandfather bought off showroom floor in October 1956. It is a 4 door hard top original interior, 283 with 4 speed muncie, muncie not original!
1969 VW Baja about 70% complete. Wife gave it to me for a birthday present several years ago. Bought from a friend who has since passed away.

Had a 1963 Biscayne with a 305 A/C, cruise (worked), p/s, p/b. Really liked that car.
1983 S-10 Blazer show truck, 4 12" speakers, slammed, would drag over a soda can laid over on it's side, about 2 1/2" inches clearance, shaved handles, won many shows with it. A '72 VW with square chevy Vega headlight and taillights. Would pull front wheels in 1st and get kinda light in 2nd! And the bug was slammed also. Will try to find pics soon.

 

It's not a collectable but I hope one day it becomes one.
I have a 1998 Olds Aurora-purchsed it from the origional owner.
It has 81,000 miles on it and is in mint condition.
I use it for cruise nights and car shows and have collected a fair number of trophy's at the shows.
In the 2 years I have owned it I have driven it alittle over 12,000 miles.
Front wheel drive,Northstar V-8,240 hp and on the highways my fuel mileage is mid 20's.
Love when people ask me what it is.

 

in addition to the 59 chevy we have
1- 1959 2 door ranchwagon restomod
2- 1990 saleen mustang 1 of 17 black convertibles made that year
3- 2012 mustang gt in tri blaze metallic yellow supposedely less then 500 in that color

 

Of course you wouldn't want to mention the Cougar, or any of your wagons, because then the rest of us would all want them and want pictures and ......

 

As I thought, many of us have a lot of fun cars in addition to our wagons.

I can understand why Rev isn't listing his, he only has so much life left and if he's going to work on even one of them he won't have the time to do this and get even it done while he's still seeing green grass. And his list would take quite some time to complete because he'd have to go out and look to remember what all that boy has in stock. Yes, he's living the dream

 

Not sure if anyone will ever think of her as collectable, but just got the 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis sedan. 2 weeks ago. And she's in the shop now. When she's warm, the engine is banging away. Only hope it is bad oil or a bad filter. If the engine is toast, then I'm afraid the car is too, since I have nowhere to keep the old girl. Shame, too, since she's only got 25,000 miles on the clock.

 

I feel like such a slouch after reading what some of you have in your collections...

I've got my little 83 Bonneville wagon. It gets lots of attention and may never qualify as a collectible, but I sure enjoy it!



And my 68 GTO, which is getting painted this winter.
From the A pillars rearward, the final coat of clear is done, but it still needs to be cut/buffed/polished.

Here's how it looked last week when I visited the body shop. It's pretty well covered with sanding dust in these pics, but it looks like the final outcome will be gorgeous.

He's got MANY hours of blocking in this job:





Meanwhile, I'm re-building the seats and the dash cluster and everything else I can do in my garage/shop before the car comes home for assembly.

Can't wait to get it back on the road!

 

They're in the sig. below. I've had the Astroroof '87 GN since 2006. It replaced my first T-top GN that was stolen and stripped after 16 years of ownership.


The GS400 is, and has been, in a million pieces for years. I bought it as a basket case in 1986 and had it on the road in 1988 where it served as a daily driver for a while. Then I wanted to do some things over...



1988.


Today.

 

...yup i feel better now.........

 

I feel kinda like a slouch here too, I have the 74 Satty and that's it, my other two vehicles are DD's and are not classic in the least (04 Tacoma, 01 Jeep Wrangler). I had a 79 GMC van, but alas sold it about a week ago.

 

Oh no! You sold the van? Guess I'll stop sitting at the end of the drive way waiting.

 

Yeah I did, and danged if I only got $900.00 for it because the guy said the rear tires were shot. I needed the cash pretty bad or I would have just kept it. I will miss that big ol' monster.

 

I own a 73 Mustang Mach 1, a 1968 Ford Fairlane 4dr (I call it a wanna bee) look at pics you will understand why..Just sold a 64 belair about 2 months ago..4 dr,230 straight 6 w/ powerglide
