I only have the ones in my signature. The 54 F250 was the first one and the others came along later. My adult daughter says she thinks the family may need to do an intervention and get me into a "program" for my problem. From the looks of things, I'm not the only one and will have company.

I have 71 Corvette convertible w/ numerous performance mods.

Just starting the 54 F100 project.

(Please note the first step was to upgrade to a 292!)

Hey, I'll bet you post on Corvetteforum too.
I think you'll find the 54 a little less frustrating to work on.

Besides my 53 F-250 I've got a 40 Pontiac 4 door that I bought in 1963 for $35 and a 46 Pontiac 2 door thats been around since the late 70's.
Almost forgot my 9N.

Too many

I'm going to include my wife's cars in this list because she doesn't actually work on vehicles;

mine,
54 F-100 (Thanks, Carol)
55 Chevy HT, (project, not running)
79 MGB (daily driver)
86 Mustang GT conv. (daily driver)
85 Lincoln Town Car (running, but will be a parts donor)

wife's,
29 Ford roadster (running)
56 Fairlane V8 2dr sedan (project, not running)
55 Victoria V8 2dr HT (project, not running)
53 Studebaker 1/4 ton (project, not running)
and she drives a 95 Jeep

I'm hoping to buy a 49 Studebaker Champion 4dr this week.

The Vicky gets a 292, the Chevy gets a 400sb, the Studebaker PU gets an Australian Cleveland (?). The Fairlane gets sold, the Champion is TBD, it probably gets the 5.0 in the Lincoln.

Vehicle Stable

In addition to the 1955 F-100, we have a 1966 VW Bug (my aunt was the original owner), and a 1942 WLA Harley-Davidson. I don't suppose my 1989 F-250 counts, does it???

I believe the Key word here is "CLASSIC", as in 30 years or older.
