This looks like fun. :-) I won't count the unfinished projects, or cars bought to sell for a profit.

Built a '62 Vette, 301, M22 Muncie, 4:11 posi and "custom paint"!!! :-)~

Later another 409-425 horse in a '63 SS hardtop.

That was more than 10, but at least I didn't make you listen to the 75 total cars I've owned. :-)

Depends if you mean running/driving cars or projects. Before I was 16 and legal to drive I had these cars:

1) 32 Ford 5 window coupe
2) 50 Willys Jeepster
3) 30 Model A Fordor sedan
4) 34 Ford coupe turned into a roadster
5) 4 or 5 50 Fords, one was a mint convertible that I paid $ 25 for.
6) 37 Dodge four door sedan
7) 38 Ford Fordor sedan

When I got my license at 16 I then had these:

1) 57 VW, that was my first car and man, did I abuse that little 36 HP mill.
2) 59 Austin Healey bugeye Sprite
3) 2 53 Studebaker coupes, one with a 283 Chevy in it.
4) 51 or 53 Chrysler with a Hemi in it. Blew up the transmission 1 day.
5) 64 Chevy Impala Convertible
6) 66 GTO tripower coupe/ 4 speed
7) 67 GTO convertible 4 barrel 4 speed
8) 63 Bonneville Convertible 389 tripower, 3 speed stick.
9) 59 (I think) Fiat either 500 or 600 that couldn't go up steep hills.
10) 51 or 52 Rambler wagon with a 371 Olds, two fours, 4 speed hydrostick
11) 56 Ford Fairlane hardtop with a 312 3 speed stick
12) 47 Ford Fordor that only had 50,000 miles on it.......miss that one.
13) 32 Ford roadster pickup with a 406 Olds and Cad-Lasalle 3 speed
14) 40 Chevy Master Coupe that I swapped the 406 Olds into.


There were so many others in there like a 61 Impala convertible, 5 Corvairs, more VW bugs, a 68 Mustang that ended up a bracket racer, a 32 Austin Bantam B/Altered drag car, and probably 20 or 30 more, that I forget most of them.

Wish I had been smart enough to keep them all stored away somewhere.
