I bet your list of MTB's is even longer...
Strong. I sure would love a romp in that 928 S4. Was it not a manual? I had a great uncle that I didn't see often who had a red 928 S. It was the first "nice" car I ever rode in as a kid. I was in awe of that car.
Yeah, the 3rd gen RX-7 was an amazing car. I wasn't even in the market for one. I actually went in to look at their MX-6. They had an RX-7 R1 on the showroom floor and asked if I would be interested in it. Darned pushy salespeople. I told them there's no way I can afford that. They told me they'd give it to me for the same price as the MX-6 and I asked, where do I sign?
I loved that Scirocco so much. Black, with tinted windows. I got it in 1990 when I turned 16. I was supposed to get my dad's 1985 100k mile GTI, but had an uncle who always had cool cars. He had that Scirocco with 30K miles on it, and was about to trade it in on the newly released Corrado. My grandmother, in a show of borderline inappropriate generosity bought it from him for what he was going to get for a trade in, and bequeathed it to me. I had no business having a car that nice at 16, but I appreciated every mile in it.

That 240Z went through a total motor rebuild. My buddy had the same car, he chose to do a Chevy 350 v8 conversation. I chose to rebuild the stock 240Z motor going all out for street performance. When I was done it beat his v8 conversation, not only in 1/8 mile times but kicked it’s ass in canyon carving. The power to weight ratio and balance was the key.
Race mid rev cam, bored out .030 over, ported polished, blueprinted, dual downdraft Webber carbs, Hooker 6 into 2 exhaust through two cherry bomb [basically straight] mufflers and stacked out the back. Proved to be quite the performer. Funny, I built this in the mid 1980’s just as 5.0 mustangs hit the streets. I surprised more than a few of those. Loud ass car with centerline wheels and wide 50 series tires all around, fiberglass Porsche style whale tail.
Excuse the 1985 Kodak disposable camera photo that’s been scanned numerous times.

Made me smile just to see that you exist and posted!
You not only win the greatest number of vehicles - you win the most obscure. See if the readers found the unicorn in the list. Or maybe whale is a better analogy.
My cousin bought a '66 Galaxie at about the same time you did. It was siting in a driveway year after year but it was well covered, gorgeous, and in excellent condition. My cousin would approach the owner time after time until he finally bit. Baby blue in color, white interior, and white convertible top. Super long and super low and just a pleasure to cruise in. It had a 289 so it was fairly gutless but that didn't matter.
Mine was in excellent shape as well. I think maybe they only drove it to church on Sundays. The white paint was nearly flawless and the red vinyl interior looked brand new. The 289 was gutless but had no problems cruising on the freeway at 80 mph.My cousin bought a '66 Galaxie at about the same time you did.
