Actually the truck is outside! There is not carport over it. The wagons and Pintos are all pretty much under cover. If they are not, they are covered with a car cover! This pic was taken while we were rearranging the other yard!

Here is a pic of most of the Pintos in the process of rearranging.

Here is one of some of the Pintos in the new "pinto shed"!! LOL Eventually we will have racks in it, so we can stack them. So in total it will hold 6!

First 2.

We having been toying around with getting rid of the Motorhome and putting another carport where it sits. If we did that then all of my Pintos should be able to be under a roof!:D

Good grief that is "Pinto Heaven". Between you, Fred, Cookieboy, and another guy in California whose name slips me, I think you guys own 95% of all viable Pintos on the planet. :surprised:...which is AWESOME.

Well, my second Pinto is on it's way here from Washington. Doubt that I'll keep more than two. No space. But it will be a pair of 74's, one Runabout, and one Wagon

Actually we found it at another tow yard. The guy that owned it got it towed in because he ticked off the preacher that was allowing him to store it! Story can be found here...

The only problem with having all those cars is that you cant drive them all, and trying to keep them all registered and insured (especially in this F'd up state!!) is gonna take quite a bit of money!!....money that could be spent on just one or two, that would make them real nice!!

But alas!!...Im guilty of the very same thing!! :lol:

Actually keeping them reg'd and insured isn't to bad. I can get insurance as cheap as 30 bucks a year. For one of my Pinto's I was quoted 50 bucks for liability only, another 2 bucks got me full coverage! LOL I insure them for how I want to drive them. The ones that I don't drive often get the cheaper insurance that is basically for going to shows and stuff! The reg is around 50 bucks a year for the cars with normal plates. The one's with Personal plates a bit more.

Currently I only have 3 that I can drive, although 5 are reg'd and insured. The 2 I can't drive that are reg'd, are waitng for motor transplants. We now have everything we need to do the R&R on both cars, just need to get time to do it!

The others that are not registered are cars that we will eventually fix up and most likely sell. I'm not looking to make money off of them, but just think it will be fun to clean them up and sell them.

Right now I plan on keeping 5 or 6 for myself! I will keep Shaggy, Bella, Nellie Belle, Ghost, Green Machine, and possibly Mad Max. Well, then we will be keeping one that we havn't found yet for hubby. He wants a 74 sedan so he can put a V8 into it. We were going to do that with a 71-73 but he wants one with a bigger engine bay now! LOL
