The Cars that I have Owned

In a little light hearted musing.....I am going to see if I can recall all of the different cars I have owned over the years. It is not going to be easy....as there have been many. I'll start with the first one i owned in school and work up. I like cars.....old ones, fast ones.....classic muscle cars. OK....let me see how good my memory really is. Starting at Number 1.....

1. 1938 Ford Pickup with an olds 455 motor.
2. 1960 Ford F-100 Pickup. 6 banger with 4 speed.
3. 1968 Chevy El Camino with 327. (high school car)
4. 1974 AMC Matador with 360 motor.
5. 1976 MGB Roadster-convertible.
6. 1971 Datsun 310 2 door.
7. 1975 Ford Gran Torino with 351 motor.
8. 1976 Chevy Nova Sport with 350 motor.
9. 1968 VW Beetle.
10. 1983 Dodge D-50 Pickup.
11. 1986 Mazda B2000 SE Pickup.
12. 1973 AMC Javelin with 360 built motor.
13. 1972 AMC Javelin AMX with 401 and 4 spd.
14. 1970 AMX AMX 2 seater with 360 motor
15. 1970 AMC AMX 2 seater with 390 Go Pac.
16. 1968 Datsun 2000 Roadster customized.
17. 1980 AMC Eagle 4x4 sedan.
18. 1984 VW Rabbit GTI
19. 1987 Mazda B2600 4x4 Pickup. (stolen)
20. 1969 AMC AMX California 500 Special (1 of 52 made)
21. 1965 Datsun 1600 Roadster
22. 1971 Datsun Pickup.
23. 1970 Ford Ranchero 500 with 351C motor.
24. 1970 Ford Ranchero GT with 351C motor. (Calypso Coral)
25. 1991 Honda Civic Hatchback.
26. 1988 Honda Prelude 2.0 SI.
27. 1970 Ford Cobra with 429 Cobra Jet and 4 Speed.

I am sure I left some out....not to mention parts cars and the motorcycles I have owned. As I said....I have had quite a few cars over the years. The most valuable was probably the 1969 AMX California 500 Special. Only 52 were made....all bright green with black racing stripes and saddle leather interior. All had 390 Go Pac setups. The motor in mine was extremely built and was barely streetable.....but what raw horsepower. It was a killer. Had I kept it.....it is worth about 40 grand. Oh well. Those were the days.
