Trying for chronological order, but there's a lot of overlap in the early days... Something makes me think I've forgotten one or two, probably owned, but never finished/driven....


1964 Chevy Biscayne (Actually "Dad's old car" that I tore apart and put back together "Better")
1965 Plymouth Belvedere
1969 Pontiac Catalina
1964 Chevy Chevelle SS Ragtop
1970 Pontiac Trans Am
1967 Olds 442 Sedan #1 Daily Driver (Sedan had frame around the door window glass)
1967 Olds 442 Coupe #2
1967 Olds 442 Coupe #3 (All 3 owned at the same time, #2 and #3 meant to be combined. Never happened )
1969 Pontiac GTO
1972 Plymouth Duster "The Magic 6" (Tubbed, Built .30 over 225 slant 6, cammed, 4 bbl Holly, split headers, etc.)
1968 Pontiac Grand Prix
1979 Chevy Impala
1970 Plymouth Duster ( To be a copy of the above Duster... never finished)
1984 Chevy Camaro "The Attitude"
1979 Chevy Pickup Shortbed
1975 Dodge Tradesman Van
1993 Chevy Astro EXT
2007 HHR 2LT




(The ex had a few cars that I ended up paying for that aren't on the list and best forgotten...)


Street Bike... Only one, a "bought in pieces" "No Numbers" rat chopper... Totally illegal but fun while it lasted... ... I should never have gone to that swap meet with $$$ in my wallet...

Undetermined year Harley Hardtail frame, Flathead 45 trike motor & trans (with reverse... Suicide shift Fun!) Aluminum heads, Joe Hunt Magneto... (I believe there were hot cams available for these... Sleeper, help me out here) WideGlide front forks (I don't remember how long the extension was, they were LONG... Lower tubes were turned, no front brakes) Peanut tank at first, but later on I did an early "sporty" tank with ghost flames back before pearl paints were available... Tombstone tail light with blue dot (of course)... Diamond tufted seat and pu**y pad... Black/Chrome/and Gold...

Yup - that was a new one on me.....
Saw a curious vehicle on the side of the freeway the other day.....2011 Camaro, dark blue, appeared stock, except for flashing red/blue lights on the dash. I suspect it was an undercover for speeding ticket patrol - Oregon State Police.
