So how many cars have you owned???

for me, over 120 in the 45 years i've been playing with rust. i'm like a lot of guys who are into old cars, when i cut my hand, i bleed 30 weight

 

At least 200 ....about 15 yrs ago I could remember about 150 of them, now its just one big blurr!!

 

Im 23 and I think I have had a bit over 30 cars or something.. Was gonna make a calendar when I had had 12 but I p***ed that quickly..

 

I'm 52 can't remember all the ones I bought and sold to help support my habit but I wish I still had the.
66 Galaxie 500 XL
63 GTO
1970 Z28 -Very Fast
Still have a 49 Mercury M68 and a 46 GMC 1/2 ton
about 26 new off showroom floor drivers

Not a lot by comparison to you guys:-
1948 & 1965 Holdens (Local GM),
1930 Buick sedan,
1932 Desoto sedan,
SBC powered 1970 Bedford van (Similar to your Chevy van),
1935 Chevy phaeton,
1946 Olds sedanette,
1966 Fairlane convertible,
1973 Mustang FB,
1979 Ford Cortina,
1971 XJ6 Jag with blown SBC,
VW type 3 FB, and
1985 Thunderbird.

Won't mention the Japanese cars and motorcyles.

 

I've made a few attempts to tally them up, but some were only in my hands for a short time and it really becomes a blur, especially if I count parts cars. Most of those were around to have whatever picked off them and they were gone. I'll go with 60+ cars and up to 110 including parts cars.

I guess I'm the anomoly here on the Hamb.
In the 50+ years of being able to drive, I've owned only 15 cars. Remember, folks under 40 years old, we used to drive our cars as "daily drivers" not collector cars. I always had a "spare" car to fiddle with. Example: My daily driver in 1966 was an 1958 Imapla, 348, dual quads. I tend to modify my rides over the years and normally keep them 15 years or more. I never had the room to keep a lot of cars or the money to spend on them. I did have some nice ones, 1940 Ford Coupe, 1966 Mustang, 1962 Austin Healy 3000, 1958 Impala, 1962 Olds Jetfire, 1970 Olds Rallye 350, 1969 Chevelle SS396, 1940 Buick Special, 1940 Chevy Coupe, 1970 Myers Manx Dune Buggy.

 

I'm 69 years old- have had many daily drivers and work vehicles-
others owned- 1953 Ford- 1962 Falcon- 1959 Corvette- 1966 Corvette- 1946 Ford- 1939 Ford- 1960 Pontiac- 1959 Simca (French)- 1966 Mustang- wife has owned more cars than me-

 

133 as of today...trying to buy a 59 Chevy wagon so getting close to 134.

 

I can't remember I was born very young. I'd fry what too few brain cells that remain at my age trying to count but I'm sure it would be somewhere south or 100. I have a hard enough time trying to remember how to tie my shoes. Way too many.

 

50+

 

1970 Meyers Manx V8 project car. 1959 Amc rambler. And about 4 motorcycles. I'm 16.

 

If you know how many cars you have owned you are either young or not really into cars that much...

I have no idea really.

 

These are anything I consider cool and older than me.
48 ford F1
50 Ford F1
49 Ford F3
30 5 window
56 Pontiac vert
32 Ford truck
64 Falcon
72 LeMans
65 Falcon
64 Comet
63 Comet
63 Fairlane
70 Travelall
61 IH B100
63 F100
65 IH b200
62 FJ40
68FJ40
73FJ40
74FJ55
28 sport coupe
29 roadster

That is 22
My wife has a list since we got married in 97 that has all daily drivers and newer sports cars listed also and that list is at 64

So I am approaching 100 and I am not 40 yet

 

Thanks for the compliment of being young. The only reason I know is that I decided to start keeping track about 20 years ago and have a running spreadsheet...

 

Keeping track of what you owned is ok but don't keep track of what you have spent on them.. you might go into shock and depression..

89 Firebird
67 RS/SS 350 Camaro convertible
92 S10

Not to mention all the parts in the stash that could make a couple more cars.

 

When I was young my dad would buy and sell cars just for something to do. I do remember one year back in the early 60's where he bought and sold 32 cars. One day he came home with a 47 Buick and gave it to me. I was fourteen and my sister was 16. Boy was she pissed. that's were I started and have had so many cars that I think I need to make a list too. I flipped the Buick for a 29 Ford 2 door sedan and traded that for a 32 Ford 3 window which is car car I never should have sold but did.

 

I'll give it a shot but I'm pretty sure I'll miss some--

57 belair hardtop
56 porsche

60 porsche
riviera
67 camaro 427/4spd
72 blazer
and 20 or so boring newer/family rigs.

 

I'm 59, around the age of 35 I thought it would be interesting to write them all down, and keep up on the list.
That is why I know I've had 87, and I'm sure there will be many more.

 

some days I think I owned way too many and then other days I wish I owned a few more.

I used to have a list but lost it when I was a little over 400. the most I owned at one time was 121 but that was in my hay day and counting the parts cars, project cars, daily off topic drivers, my work trucks, besides my good show cars. but most are gone now since I keep selling them off to survive this ****py economy that took me down.

My car days might be history shortly if my wife gets her way. Not sure what I want anymore. I might be gone for a while or for good. Time will tell.

 

theres a guy here who likes to brag that he has owned more than 100 cars.
On average that means that he keeps them about 3 months. Thats not really long enough to even qualify as a real Owner. More like a used car salesman. He is a Temporary Owner. I think he likes money more than old cars. It seems that length of time in ownership would be more of an indicator of your love for old cars.

 

I have owned 20 cars in the last 50 years. I still have 11 of them!!.

 

Between cars and bikes, at 34 years old, I'm north of 85.

 

too many and not enough
