I'm (obviously) keeping the S-10, and my new truck seems to be working out perfectly, and since I don't have the time for another one and I need the space in the garage, I guess I'll be keeping what I have for some time.

Now's your chance to catch up! I think Matt is well on his way, although I 'spect he'll be keeping this GN after the premature departure of the last one.

It looks like I just purchased a 1987 T Type parts car today too to help me restore the GN. I do have other things on the list though too that I want so you never know. I'm still sort of looking for a Baja.

added #38 - potential parts car for GN

I almost forgot about this list. Added the V8 S10 Blazer.

Just updated the list.

GM

See above, just updated my list. Grins!

Sooo.. does the '95 Saturn go on my list, or Mostmint's ??

Tiresmoker the Saturn should go on your list methinks.

List updated --- again!!

list updated with

39. 1995 BMW 540i 6 speed
and
40. to be announced once it is shipped, arrives here in GA and is photographed. It is pretty cool though.

The suspense is killing me. Is it Domestic or Imported?

-BP

import

The curb weight is about 2900 pounds. It has a swapped drive train.

#40 - 1988 BMW M3........it is currently on a transport on it's way to Atlanta.

That's soooooo insanely cool! If memory serves, those started their life with a four banger in them? I'm guessing that's not what's in there now though?

That's a sick ride Matt! Didn't see that one coming...
