Weeeelll,

Here's my list. I'm sure some of you guys have had more time to work on 
it than me, I'm only 30.

1974 Datsun 260Z 2+2 - got it from my dad on my 16th birthday, gas 
guzzler, but it was fast. Traded after my best friend rear-ended it in 
the parking lot.

1972 Datsun 1200 Saloon - Traded straight across for the Z. Great car!!
tuned it up with a pocket knife & matchbook cover. Sold to same friend 
who rear-ended the Z. Shoulda kept this one.

1988 Ford Ranger - $9000. First new car. Turned out to be too small, 
traded it in on F-150.

1989 Ford F-150 - $15,000 Good truck, Bad idea {don't ever lease!!!}

1962 Ford Ranchero - $600 This one had a super mustang engine. PO did a 
really crappy swap job though. Actually welded two driveshafts 
together!!! I didn't have the resources to finish it. sold for $200 

1969 Plymouth Suburban SW - $600 Drove it for 3 years and 50,000 + 
miles. Finally got tired of fixing it so I sold it for $200

1975 Datsun F10 Sport Wagon - 1 carton Marlboro. My first Art Car. I 
glued circut boards all over it. too cool!! Sold to a man who wanted to 
go get some fruit for $250.

1967 Ford F-250 3/4 ton - $900 Strong hauler, ugly!!! Trying to sell it 
now. Any takers?

1961 Triumph Herald Saloon - 1 six pack of beer. Hauled it out of my 
friend's backyard. Only $1000 to get it running. Fun Fun Fun 

I also had plenty of old motorcycles and stuff. I just love to fix 
those old junkers that nobody thinks will run again. Gotta go now I 
think another deal is comming my way.
