29:

1968 427/390 vert (frame-off restored in 96)
1981 L48 - I guess you could say "body on" restored, since I've rebuilt or replaced pretty much everything since I got it in 99.
1980 L-82 (eventually will be a track car, just haven't had the time to do as much as I like with 3 kids in diapers)

All red w/ black interior. Haven't sold one yet.

36 years old.

I got a '71 BB right now. but we used to have a '71 LS6 4 sp. project (no engine, but was still with the M22) which is looooong gone because our late father was so upset about the project cars we had in front of the house back then, a friend took it to use it as a parts car!
