Re: what other old cars are in your garage?
Sometimes luck has a lot to do with it. I've been lucky enough to find some very cheap cars, but also missed out on some very good deals because I didn't have the money.
Probably one of my best deals was in 1974 when I bought a very nice 1964 Corvair convertible for only $10 because the guy heard Ralph Nader say they were dangerous. Of course Ralph didn't have a clue and never drove or even rode in a Corvair. |

Re: what other old cars are in your garage?
I'm pretty fickle. I enjoy finding them, restoring (or hot rodding) them, driving them. Then I lust for another project, and not being a rich guy, I have to sell one to start the process again. Catch and release
Currently I have this MGB that I put a 3.5 Rover aluminum V8 in along with a WC Camaro V8 T5. ...and this '69 Mercedes W114 250. All original including paint. Like a 1 year old used car...

Nader did mention the Corvair in his book (along with many other examples of the auto industry's disregard for safety), but it was..."George Caramagna, the Chevrolet suspension mechanic (who, Nader learned, had fought management over omission of the vital anti-sway bar that they were forced to install in later models) was vital to this issue. The missing bar had caused many crashes and it was Caramagna who precipitated the whole controversy by staying his ground on the issue." I have owned 2 1962's. Both fun cars (but I inflated the tires correctly and didn't auto cross them ). My latest was a 30,000 mile original. I painted it due to "garage rash", but it was original otherwise.
