Well over 300. The oldest was a 1924 Star, newest 2001 bonneville. Most of one model, Camaro, I have owned 28, of which I actually drove one. Three were Z28s, and one Iroc. All but one were parted out, I sold one intact, bought it back 2 years later, and parted that one out too. I've had 7 41 to 48 Chevy cars, 10 AD chevy trucks, 18 Novas, 8 65-66 Chevy full size. Never owned a Tri5 Chevy, or a Vette.5 Rivis, 3 Toronados, 10 G series Chevy vans.3 65 Skylarks.I bought and sold 24 cars in the last year, which is about average.
Let's see....they're all race cars. Three slingshot dragsters, two sprint cars, four supermods (sprints with bodies), and a replica vintage midget. Under construction....one street-legal sprint car/supermod and, currently being designed in Autocad, one lakester/modified/T-bucket (not sure what category this thing fits in). How about 2-wheelers ? Do they count ? One Doodlebug scooter, three Whizzer motorbikes, and three motorcycles ('67 Honda Superhawk scrambler, a '76 'Wing, and my Yamaha Venture).

It was over 100 a few years back, but that's not a lot compared to some of you guys. Remember I started at age 14 and I'm now 60 so I've had a while to come up with that number. Being sick is one thing, having a car sickness can be totally consuming. Frank

Rocky's had more cars than god. I like the Vic Edelbrock comment - I tend to hang onto 'em. Never counted mine, but I've probably had several dozen (99%hotrods), and hated to see each one go - I get too emotionally attached. I know, I'm weak...

Hmmm... 1st car was a 65 Rambler, bought from my father for a $1. Followed that with a 68 Riviera GS, then a 57 Bel Air sedan. After that there was the following: 1957 Chevy 150 sedan 1951 Studebaker coupe with a wraparound rear window 1980 Olds Cutlass 1986 Cutlass 2- 83 Jimmys 1988 Jimmy 1961 Dodge wagon 1962 Pontiac sedan 1963 Impala sedan 1964 Impala two door hardtop 1960 Biscayne sedan 2 63 Pontiac four doors - bought for $30 each for their 283's 23 T-bucket 1955 Pontiac Pathfinder 261, 3 spd 1955 Pontiac Laurentian 283 four speed 1956 Del Ray 1956 Bel Air sedan 1953 Studebaker coupe 1933 Chevy five window coupe 1957 210 sedan 1955 Del Ray 1955 Bel Air sedan 2 - 1972 Chevy 1/2 tons 1972 two wheel drive Blazer 1969 Meteor sedan "the Meateater" Best $50 I ever spent Probably 20 other 5-6-7 parts cars. the usual assortment of daily drivers ranging from a $75 78 Parisienne to an 85 Sierra Classic 4x4, the first and last vehicle I will ever buy new. All tolled I have to over 80+. Some nice ones and some crap (Chevette). The ones I regret selling are the 80 Cutlass, the first 57 Bel Air sedan, and the 72 Blazer. I presently have a bunch of ongoing projects - kept some of the best and got rid of the rest. These include a 57 Bel Air hardtop, a 56 Pontiac sedan delivery and my old Merc, with the shell of a 57 150 wagon waiting in the wings. Still looking for a decent driver station wagon or four door hardtop 1955-64 GM
