    I have 4 cars and one has to go according to my landlord and the rules in my sub-division. I love all my cars so out of these which you would lose? I don't know how to do a poll on here, so give me your opinion :) I know most of you will say something other than the Maverick LOL, but out of the 4 I dunno...

    1) 1973 Ford Pinto Wagon (ready for paint)
    2) 1970 Ford Galaxy 500 (new interior and almost ready for paint)
    3) 1978 Ford Mustang King Cobra II (not going LOL)
    4) 1970 Ford Maverick (under restoration, but all mechanicals rebuilt top and bottom)

    This is tough, I don't want to move, so this is the list. The King Cobra is a keeper and the Maverick. I'm leaning towards the Pinto Wagon. Just needs paint and just ordered the material for the seats :(

    If I were you I'd consider moving. I like all those cars, but I'd get rid of the mustang 2.

    Sheese, can't lose the neighborhood. Funny, guys on the Pinto Forums are all saying Maverick. I'm NOT losing my King Cobra II or the Galaxy. It honestly will probably be the Pinto.

    I dunno, I like all 4. The ones that would go would be either the Pinto or Maverick. The Maverick is better mechanically now, but the Pinto is ready for paint and needs more work done. So I guess I still don't know. Close the thread I guess LOL

    I probably could. The problem is that it wouldn't be close. I like driving all the cars - well no engine in the Mustang yet and Maverick has a lot of metal showing!

    pintos suck unless they have a big block STUFFED in them. no matter how much tint you put on the windows this is 2014 no 1974 not cool a wagon on top of that
    I say DITCH THE BOAT ANCHOR YOU CALL A WAGON sell it for a premium to the guys on the pinto boards

    KEEP THE MAV KEEP THE MAV KEEP THE MAV or wait I have a BETTER IDEA sell the wagon AND teh maverick and buy a COMET :thumbs2:

    question do all of these cars run? if they all run and are registered and insured the neighbors cant say anything unless you have a contract you signed saying you cant have more than x amount of cars and whose to say one car isnt yours one car is your husbands and the other two cars are your teenage kids cars or whose ever that lives in your house
    maybe youll have to move them all around a bit more if theyre all legit

    I would be telling the neighbors and the landlord where to go IF they all run and drive like I said if they dont then you HAVE to comply and be glad you got away with it as long as you have.

    I'd get rid of them all, and keep the Maverick.
