Here are pictures of most of the toys. i couldn't even count the number of grocery getters I've had: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=256
I can't even begin to list them all but 4 or 5 close friends can verify this. I have owned, brokered, sold, etc. over 4,000 since I was 14, over 53 years ago! I pulled more cars out of Ohio & Ky. than I can remember and its taken years to remember the 4,000. Located cars for CA, Japan, Sweden ( they Love '59 Chevys), Australia, New Zeland and recently Finland. I have pictures of about 1/3 of them. 409s, Lightweights, '58 Converts, 427s, Cammers, Cobras, Duesenburgs, Packards, Amphicars, T-Bolts, Longnoses and on & on. Could write 10 books on "Cobras in the Barn". Tom Kitchen

i stopped counting in 1989 . i had 86 at that point in my life and i was only 19 . though i did get my first at the age of 5 . it was the best birthday present ever ! forget the fact that it was one of my dads old cars that finally gave up and cost too much to fix versus replace . my brother and i spent an entire summer taking it apart . we thought we were fixing it ! yeah right we fixed it for sure . what we did was learn how they came apart and by the 3rd "present" we started to put them back together . the rest is my addiction!!
One thing I can say is I remember everyone as it was yesterday. The way thay started after sitting overnight the way the gear changer felt all the things that give a car a life of its own. First was a 55 chevy got side tracked in the 70 chevy IIs camaros back to my first love. Ron

124 cars in all. Some I loved. Some I hated. Some I still have. Some I had to buy because nobody else would. Some I loved until it was home, then I hated it. Lots of cars, but the same wife! Proving once again that buying and collecting cars is much cheaper than changing women. And a whole lot less stressful.

Well, some where around 400 i'm guessing. Can't remember'em all! Funny, once in a while a buddy will say "hey do you remember the 56 so-n-so you sold me"...oops, theres another one that i forgot about! Close to 300 were VW's. Got pics of about 1/3...1st car was my grandma's 50 packard (orig. owner). My favorites were the 'dead players'....always found unique satisfaction in bring one back from the dead!
I just tried to count it recently and I think it's 28, including modern daily drivers and hopeless junk. But I'm 25 now and I started at 18...
