At least 100 or so.

I won't mention the freaking huge Christmas tree green Buick station wagon or the tiny little yellow Bobby bobcat Mercury hatchback and a few others.

Sent from my VS835 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

21 cars and 4 street motorcycles.

 

Was at 125+ eleven years ago when I quit counting. I have 5 right now! Anyone need a '87 Porsche 944? Took in trade, I have no use for it. I'm not a Porsche 944 type guy, now maybe a 911, but not a 944. I still need to get the title from him yet, his mom's house burned down, it might have been at her house. Maybe I can make a lawn mower out of it.

There is a pattern here......except for the Chevelle, which wasn't a bad car for free.


1972 Chevelle.

 

I'm at 37-38, started as a young lad with Chevys, then got into Mopars for 5-10 years & finally ended up with the blue oval stuff.
Even had a Morris Minor, Datsun 510 & a Super Beetle.
I'd say 26-27 of those were Fords.

 

35 that I have registered, and many more. I should have had my butt kicked up to my neck for some of the beauties I have sold.
Some of the best HAMB friendly vehicles are:
39 Ford coupe
38 Ford 2dr
34 Ford 1/2 ton
47 Chev coupe
58 Mercedes 190SL ( getting close to 6 figures now)
64 Corvette coupe, with knock offs
53 Mercury 1/2 ton
67 Mercury 1 ton
Those were the ones that I put the most time and money into, but there were more where I swapped the engine and got an offer I couldn't refuse. Stupid, in hindsight, but I always saw something better around the corner or got a good trade.
The reason I feel that I wasted so much time, was that I did all of the swaps with the idea in mind that I was going to keep the vehicle. So much time wasted.

I'm not sure, but the number would have to end in .333, because I owned one third of a car with a couple of friends. I sure wish I could have some of them back though.

 

Around 60 ,5 new cars out of them.

 

Would not want to admit that to even myself, but between Hot Rods, old Porsches, and VW's, easily over 150, and counting!!! I love this disease!!!

 

How many cars have I owned since I started driving? ALL OF THEM. LOL

 

At 50 years old. At least 79 cars and counting. More than 50 motorbikes and more than 100 mopeds.
Plus 2 tractors if they count. My wife drives the same car for more than 12 years, so
there is a small difference.

 

35 cars, 6 bikes

 

This post made me curious, never thought about it, Made a list this AM, best that I can remember, 40+ drivers, including cars, PU Trucks, SUV's, Station Wagons, plus 3 Hot Rods, 2 Kustoms, 1 Classic, 4 Motorcycles, 7 Race cars, 4 Midget, 3 Sprint, 3 racing Go Karts, 15/20 Snowmobiles for over 30+ years, throw in a couple of Sport Boats. The Memories PRICELESS ! Now 71, 55 years of motorized Fun

 

Over a 140 cars and 40 motorcycles 10 houses and 3 ex wives. Finally found a wife that likes cars as much as I do.

At least 125. One of them (35 coupe) I bought in 1958. Many different engines over the years and it is still on the road How is that for a record!

 

53 ...still looking for more

 

25 that I can remember.

 

Probably between 250 and 275.... no shit. Of those, probably 200 that were driveable. Hamb friendly cuts that back to around 80 or so. I tried to list them all several different ways and always forget about some. I could probably get a list from DMV.....

 

Right around 30 daily drivers and weekend toys since 1976. The H.A.M.B.-friendly ones:
'50 Plymouth Deluxe 4S
'62 Imperial Crown 4H
'65 Buick Skylark coupe
'64 Imperial Crown 4H
'63 Ford Galaxie 500 4S
'64 Pontiac Catalina 2+2 convertible
'58 Edsel Ranger 4S

 

Not very many, but then again I have a bit of time to boost the numbers, lol.
Hamb friendly - 1 1/2, 1933 Ford Pickup and half of Taboo

Including non Hamb cars - 9 1/2, ( 6 Camaro's of various years, a newer Silverado and a C10 pickup)

 

18 for me.
