Do you hoard cars and parts?

[MsMopar]

Just wondering how many do this and the reasons why. Do you keep cars for years, even though you know you probably can't afford to restore it? MsMopar

[69bronzeT5]

Ask Trav and his six million Mopars . I wish I had as many cars as him. BUT for now...all I have is one '69 and the parts I need for it. I do have a few extra parts here and there but nothing much.

i do hoard cars i guess. but i don't hoard cars i'll never get to just to do it. i sell the ones i know i'm not capable of fixing or have the time for.. and as for the reasons i have so many. simple. i LOVE mopars, specifically 68-70 dodge chargers. and dumb as it may sound,  when i was about 20 i said i would love to have a charger for every day of the week. just for the hell of it. kind of a personal goal. well i did it. and i love every minute of it. i have been very fortunate

Well atleast you store them in decent places..unlike some guys who just buy all the cars and then let them sit in bushes and mud.

I don't horde them

[MsMopar]

I don't think I can accept the fact I am not capable or will never have the time for a car to justify selling it. Well, maybe that's not totally true, I sold my 4-speed Oily Doily 69 but I still miss driving it. Always hoped I would be able to get one in better shape. MsMopar

I have and still do. The only way to find out if you can finish them is to do it. I have so many parts for various cars that I have ran out of room. I bought a 68 Chevelle last weekend..........yep to fund the Charger. Yep I am a flipper  The parts will be flipped on this one because it got wiped out and is being put out of it's misery.

No crime in flipping a chevy to fund a Mopar.  MsMopar

I hear ya Trav....small world. I may have dibbs on a Chevelle wagon too. I got this one for 150 bucks  The wagon may be around the same price. I work at a school and all the kids and staff know I'm a car nut and I get deals all the time. Been trying to get this Chally but so far no avail.

since we're hijacking anyway i'll go a step further.. here are pics of 2 of the 3. still gotta go back to get the ss396 69.. but it's sick. ex racer, no suspension, so doesn't roll. ack! note the dukes style push bar on the front of the blue one. i should jump it!!! by the way when i pulled them into the garage i could hear the other cars(mopars) snickering and making fun of them. i will unload them fast so the chargers don't gang up on these poor chevelles and do something wrongful to them

I guess we are somewhat alike Travis. When I was a teenager, I told my dad I'm going to have a different charger to drive for everyday of the week also. I did it as well, total of 9 at one time. Man, those were the days. 24 years ago now I did that. The chevelle thing, heck, we all have our downfalls. I did as well.
And yes, I hoard parts, I'm just not going to say here right now what it is that I have, my wife might read this later, ha-ha.

wow i don't want to get blasted here .but since you guys have all these chevelles would any of you happen to know of any  70-72 cutlass or 442's for sale .

[MsMopar]

I hoard parts because you never know when you might need something, and I don't want to be subjected to the kind of prices I see at the swap meets today.    MsMopar

I don't know what you're talking about...

I know you guys might hate me for this but I like all old cars. I would own a 70 to 72 Chevelle in a minute. I like old Camaros too. I would definitely own a 69 to 70 Mach 1 Mustang. WHO can firget the old Trans Am. I respect anyone who rebuilds and shows off his old car. That keeps people thinking about looking out for all of us old car guys. Don't get me wrong, the 1969 Charger is the most beautiful car ever made in the history of the world, but I would own almost any old car. I do like any Charger of any generation. That means the 66 to 74, the REAL ones. I welcome any old car guy that truly speaks in car tongue and not just a wannabe. MOPAR FIRST but the more the merrier. I'm finished with my  back to our regularly scheduled program.

Hopefully I can keep this one. If the Charger funds run out I may. I will let you know if I do. Sorry for all the GM hijack back to the horder thing.

But would you subject someone else to " those kinds of prices ? "

[69charger2002]

it doesn't matter if you're hoarding them, and not selling them..
