Any changes to your "automotive family" soon?
Anyone else have thoughts of changing up the automotive family?
For a while, I've wanted to add the following vehicles to my car family:
1975 Caprice Classic convertible
1977 Caprice Classic sedan
1978 Caprice Classic coupe
1989 Caprice Classic 9C1
1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe
But, now ... the only vehicle I want to add to my family is a 1989 Caprice Classic (sedan or 9C1), to be the "summer" daily driver to my "winter warrior" 1979 Caprice Classic sedan.
Along with that, I've decided that, if the "right" '1989 CC (good shape, FI, cruise control, A/C, power, road trip worthy, etc.) comes along, I'll probably sell my 1972 MC. Why? Because my '72 MC is the only "expendable" MC I own ... the '76 is the year my parents had; the '79 is my first car; the '81 was my parents' car; and the '87 has sentimental reasons for the year....
But, even that plan could change, if my next checkup indicates I need more surgery ...and/or... I buy my own house....
In the meantime, my newest cars will have to do ... ~50 of them. I bought 80 cars, ~30 of which I bought for my nephew, who is learning what each car is VERY quickly!
I bought these 2 for Dad:

My Monte has been running great so I am not touching ot for a while (Knock on wood)...Actually just gunna look to dyno it and see what numbers I put down finally...lol
GTO is going to be converted into 3/4 Monaro this year (Side Skirts,back bumper, three piece wing)
I am planning to buy a house before the next car, afterwards I was thinking about a possible used G8 GXP, but may decide to opt for a Used Charger SRT-8...(The latest design which is new now but would be used by the time I'm ready to buy)
Above goes out the window if a Maloo R-8 comes here, that takes pecidents over all lol...

I plan on getting an LT1 powered F-body (hopefully this year)
I'm looking at Trans-Ams and Camaros, preferably white. This should be cheap enough to still be fun and give me ample time to work on the Monte for a few months.

i've just been itching for something else to tinker with...
might be a '65 buick electra...
might be an 80's El Camino
or it might be as simple as the early 90's F150 i just noticed setting up the road. of course that would just be to tidy up and sell
