I'll bet this is going to be the shortest list for anyone who's been
driving for over 30 years - what can I say - I tend to get emotionally
attached and keep them for a long time. Okay here goes:
68 Plymouth Valiant - 273 cu.in. V8 - got me thru college, then I
sold it and bought:
74 TR6 - 1st Triumph - the one that got me hooked - but 1st wife hated
it, so traded it in for :
79 Pontiac Trans Am - eventually traded in for :
85 Volvo 740 turbo - best (build quality) car ever owned, kept it for
12 years and 240K miles, then traded for:
97 Subaru Legacy GT
That covers daily drivers, along the way also picked up:
73 TR6 - bought in early 80s because I missed my first one
currently restoring it
78 Pontiac TransAm - bought in late 80s because I missed
my first one - didn't keep it long - fun to drive but
but not as fun to work on
83 El Camino - inherited from my Dad who bought it new
now have 58K miles - all original
69 GT6+ - bought this one a couple years ago - I actually
knew the original owner and drove the car once
about 14 yrs ago - sad shape now - will be next project
another 69 GT6+ - picked up as possible body shell donor for
above - have since found better body shell - may
eventually restore both - nah..another project will
find me first, I'm sure
Cheers
