I posted no I'm not a car collector but I want to be.

Isbeing a car collector denoted by how many cars you own or what you own?

I own 11 cars so does that qualify me?

If not does owning six '57 Chevies qualify me?

Two Montes?

RJ, I would say that you are a Car Collector
In actuality, though, most enthusiasts are happy to enjoy a car for a few years, do a few things to it, and break even when it's time to move on. For those who look at the old car hobby as a financial investment as well as an investment in pleasure, there's unanimous agreement in one area: In today's market, it's hard to get hurt buying a good collector car. If you do your homework, buy the right car, and enjoy it sensibly, you'll maximize the return on your investment and enjoyment.
RJ, you have a awesome collection. You are a lucky man. : )
EnJoy your collection, your life.

I don't have a collection, but I want to have one eventually (if I'm ever rich, lol). Here's my list:
1970 Monte Carlo, 1976 Monte Carlo (already have it so I'm almost there, LOL), 1980 Monte Carlo turbo, 1983 Monte Carlo SS, 1999 Monte Carlo Z34, 2004 Monte Carlo Supercharged SS Dale Jr. Edition, 1984 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP coupe, 1974 Pontiac Grand Am, 1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT, 1974 Buick Gran Sport Stage 1 455, 1970 Chevelle LS6 SS-454, 1973 Chevelle SS-454 coupe, Custom 1995 El Camino SS (GM made a prototype out of a '94 Caprice wagon), 1974 Hurst/Olds W-30, 1982 Trans-Am KITT replica.
Sounds like a nice list. A couple of them have me wondering. Like for instance, uh, a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT? Why? Had I known you wanted one about 3 weeks ago, you could've had mine.
