Vehicles I have owned (not counting the wife's cars)

Postby Bob Of Burleson » Mon Aug 04, 2014 11:25 am


1951 Chevy (Beach driven so I eventually put my foot through the floorboard.)

1953 Chevy (A fine car and nice looking, too.)

1956 Mercury (Hot, hot, hot.)

1960 Simca (The horn had two tones, one quieter for city use.)

1963 Ford 500 (I wore out the poor thing pulling an overloaded trailer.)

1971 Ford Pinto sedan (No, it didn't blow up.)

1980 Mazda pickup (Probably the best small pickup EVER.)

1986 Ford pickup

1990 Mazda pickup (A quality vehicle.)

2007 Ford Ranger (Still going strong.)

This sort of hard for me to do. I've owned as many as five vehicles at the same and I know I've left some off the list.

!951 Studebaker - put 315,00 miles on it and sold it for $25.
1966 VW Beetle - rolled it in 1967.
1967 VW Minibus - the motor caught fire and burned up in 1969.
1969 VW Beetle - I don't know why we got rid of it.
1972 Ford Falcon - bought it for $75 and it ran beautifully.. The wife hated it because the chickens roosted on it. Sold it for $100.
1951 Ford PU purchased in 1976. The motor burned up in 1988.
1966 Chevy PU. It was stolen and then recovered in Mexico in 1979. Wasn't worth anything then.
1979 Ford PU I purchased from my dad. It was stolen in Commerce in 1992. My wife hated the truck. I still think she had something to do with it.
1989 Chrysler Medallion. Cost $9,000 dollars. Wife loved it. She wrecked four times running over hogs, deer, etc. We abandoned it in Temple in 1993.
1990 Plymouth Minivan. Got rid of it in 2008 after I was t-boned by a red-light runner.
2006 GMC Canyon. Still have this one.

I will not buy anymore vehicles.

1955 Ford Victoria - electrical and front end trouble
1963 Dodge Dart - One of the best cars I ever owned. put almost 200k miles on it.
1970 Ford Torino - Good car
1975 Mercury Monarch - Gas hog
1976 AMC Pacer - can't believe I bought this one- piece of junk.
1976 Audi Fox - okay
1981 Dodge Aries K car - no complaints'
1987 Mazda pickup - Air conditioner problem that was never fixed.
1993? Chevy pickup - totaled by hail
1993 Honda Civic
2001 PT Cruiser - Good car- still driving it.

Oh, yeah, I forgot the brand-new 1995 Nissan pickup that I had briefly before it was totaled by the great Fort Worth hailstorm.

Tough to do..we tend to not personally "assign" vehicles at my house.

I have the first brand new vehicle I purchased, 225K on it.

It isn't a daily driver these days.

64 Impala SS The perfect first car. Low to the ground, no power (283 2bbl) heavy and built like a tank. Very forgiving car when driven hard.
75 Camaro. How I survived it, I'll never know.
68 Chevy short, wide bed. It had a 307 2bbl. Check the gas and fill it up with oil.
79 Toyota Celica Liftback. The most fun vehicle I have ever owned.
84 Chevy short, wide bed. I had the local Chevy deal special order it for me. It had a 305 V8 (biggest motor you could order that year) a posi-track rear end (later to find out geared at 2:71 :shock: ) and a granny four speed. The 305 gave up the ghost at 60K replaced with a 350 from a 79 Corvette. It passed everything on the road, but a gas station. Sold it to a guy who took it to Mexico.
78 Chevy long bed heavy half. Drove Dad's truck for several years. Currently rotting away in the carport at the farm. Mom will not part with it and it needs a complete rebuild. Only has 90k original on it.
86 Olds 88. Drove the wheels off of it until it died somewhere around 220K
2001 Dodge Ram. My current ride with 142K on it. Needs front end work and I may just sell it rather than mess with it. :)

My wife and kids got all the cool cars.
