Landscaper, those are some awesome looking old OB's you've got there.

Chopper, you'd better marry that gf of yours. Any gal that will put up with that collection/mess is a keeper, lol.

Ezmobee, I don't think Hoarders would touch some of these, they'd take off running down the street the minute the doors were opened, lol.

Vegas, I hear ya on being there the longest. Back when I still lived in the house I grew up in, I had a collection of old muscle cars but the neighbors never complained because I'd been there longer than most of them had. Man I wish I could find a picture of the yard and my shop back then. I had 2 1970 Dodge Superbees, a 68 Charger, a 67 Cougar, a 71 Barracuda and a 69 Plymouth GTX all sitting in the yard at one time. And the engines for half of them scattered out across the 20x20 shop floor.

Can I get an honorable mention for the only suspended boat trailer?

QC gets an Honorable Mention in my books! Anyone that can handle a daily head banging, off a suspended trailer is nuts in my books! If anyone has an extra couple hardhats.... send em QCs way!!

Only thing my head can hit is the tires . . . Maybe a soft hat? When I get my project boat back in there you can't hit the trailer unless you are on top of the boat. I can get a car under it as is.

Thats me, a Mopar freak through and through. The one lone Cougar in the collection was given to me by a friend moving out west.

Sadly Vegas I don't have any of them left. The big collection was pre-marriage and kids. I held onto to one of the Superbee's after the oldest son was born. But could never find the money with a new baby to put it back together after I tore it down for a rebuild. I finally sold it to another friend who had a Mopar collection also and he proceeded to total it a few weeks later,

Me and the above mentioned oldest son have discussed building a Mopar to get onto the show Pinks with so who knows, maybe after I finish the Executive and restoring my Dad's old Merc 800E and finding a boat to put it on that will be next on the agenda, gotta have some kind of project in the works, right?

Of course, 1st I've got to build a shop so I can match all of you!

Re: Who has the MOST "Stuff" in the Garage Contest Post your PICS Show off your junkp

LOL Mddubya the sad part is if you had managed to keep all those old Mopars you could prolly put the oldest through College and posibly the next oldest as well . I cant say much though I find myself kicking myself regularly for all the Muscle cars I have owned and sold over the years for nowhere near what they are going for today. I sold a 2 owner 65 Mustang Fastback GT Black with red inteior all original for $13,000.00 15 years ago I could probably take that same car to BJ today and get almost 10 times that did I mention she was 100% original and low miles 289 Hipo and 4 speed.

Re: Who has the MOST "Stuff" in the Garage Contest Post your PICS Show off your junkp

We are all there in that same spot kicking ourselves Rick, believe it or not back in 88 I gave away a perfect 69 camaro ss rolling shell along with a 427 open chamber motor cause I didn't have anywhere to put the darn thing worse than that in 84 I sold my 69 SS 396 Chevelle for $1000 to buy a washer and dryer for the wife and kids

Well I don't know if I beat the whole house shop but my shop right now is a wreck 1500 sq ft of leftovers, scrap and junk except for my bike and boat. Than again the boat is the reason for the mess LOL

No doubt Rick, I tried to find another 70 Superbee a couple of years ago. The cheapest one I found literally had a tree growing up through the engine compartment, and they still wanted 5K for it.

You actally had enough room to get into your truck for them to fall on you?

I do service AND installs and I got downsized from a cube truck to a chev savanna van and the boss still expects me to have the same ammount of stuff in there!

Get one of those magnets with the squeeze-handle on it. I've saved countless hours picking up screws with it. Gotta kick over the container at least once per job.

The worst is is when they get stuck in the track of the side door

LOL Vegas I dont know about Bill but be very carefull pulling in my driveway I find more screws out there than I thought I even had in the truck . I still run plenty of service and installs only been open a few years I did just hire my first installer though so were moving up maybe there will be less screws in my driveway now .

Hey Vagas,
theres tons off camaro ss's & 396 chevelles out there, the one with the flip ups was the RS SS thats the one I had, with the vacume motors , the problem is now you can't buy them for $500 LOL if we only knew!!

The boat is a 21' Im starting to think im building a battle ship, I just sent my guy out for more material to install the stringers, I can't believe the amount of resin im going through.

Hey Rick- no screws in my driveway, my wife won't let me bring my trucks home unless i'm working on the house LOL. Besides who want's to hear her complain when she gets a flat

LOL Bill my office and shop are still at home for now I figure a couple more years and I will have to start looking for some property to put up a shop on but for now I have a large storage unit around the corner from the house and my truck is the one predominately in the driveway usually not enough room for my installer to pull in he has to park on the street to many boats and such in the drive .
