What's in YOUR garage?

Ok where to start! I have and had soooo many cars. In my garage now is a 73 duster 67 barracuda 63 fury 86 Fiero 88 suzuki samurai. Just sold a 69 Dayton original but not numbers matching 71 hemi CUDA convertible restomod 70 challenger and last but not least 2004 dodge rumble bee. It's the very first rumble bee ever produced! I have all the papers from Chrysler for it. Sad thing is in the last year or so the Dayton and 71 restomod CUDA had to be sold.

Oh I forgot my 1970 Datsun 240Z as well. It's not in my garage but in my carport so every time I come home I see it and work on it

Found this 76 Kawasaki KZ 900 in a barn.

Been sitting for 20+ years in various places. It has 18000 miles on it.

When I expressed interest in restoring it the guy said if you want it you can have it:D

It was on a trailer and in my garage pretty fast.

There was no ownership. When I went to search the VIN.# there was no record of it in the system. 10 dollars and a declaration and it was mine with a valid title. They purge VIN#s if they are inactive in Ontario after a certain number of years.

Replaced all the ignition components, changed the oil and cleaned the gas tank. Put some clean gas in it.

It fired up and ran poorly at first. Now it runs good and pulls like a train. Love the Japanese engines.:love:

Thursday it was safe-tied and licensed legally. I had my last bike plate on it with a 1987 sticker just to sneak out on the back roads to put some miles on it to shake the cobwebs out.

I hope to restore it to original trim.

This is all I have in my  garage right now.  Two projects at once is all I can handle, with my money or time.  Everyone kept saying the Z was a "poor man's corvette".  I thought I would check out a vette for once.  It's definitely faster but it feels more like a muscle car than a sports car.  The Z is my favorite and much more fun to drive. It also doesn't drink as much fuel, so I can  enjoy it more.  I'll be selling the Corvette as soon as I get done getting it cherry.  I want to get another Z to replace it.  Possibly a 350 or 370Z.

Besides her, are my dailies. A 2008 Lincoln MKX  (stock image. No idea why I have no pictures of mine!)
