    I've owned at least one example of all those, Pinto Wagon would get the axe for sure... Setting position was horrid and seats were no doubt the worst of any vehicle I've owned... I liked my '70 Galaxie with three on the tree, and used probably five different M-II as drivers for a couple years(kept buying & selling those)...

    I would look for other solutions.

    1. Park the extra car at work and get a rotation going.
    2. Find a good neighbor, strike a deal.
    3. Negotiate a deal with the LL.
    4. Rent Storage Space.
    5. Read your lease agreement, if its specifically stated you're screwed if not, tell the LL to go pound sand (which is my favorite).
    6. Park on a near by public street, rotate them. They can't stop you from parking on public streets, most city ords have a 72hr limit.

    I think you have plenty options if you don't want to sell, just have to get a little creative.

    I dont think I would ever move into a neighborhood that would stipulate that I have a maximum car limit.

    I would read over your contract, and if theres nothing there tell him to pound that sand like the above post (lol my fav too). If he continues to threaten, then I would aquire a lawyer and make him pay all of my moving expenses, refund my deposit, and pay loss of work, and extra $$ for the stress of the whole ordeal.

    Anndddd on my way out, I would roast my tires smoking out the neighborhood and leave my mark on the street for them to always remember how much of a d*ck I was to smoke em out :)

    Profit.

    Keep what is most practical to your lifestyle of those you enjoy. It's the only way to decide.

    All good stuff. If one goes, it's the Pinto. I love all the other, the Maverick isn't going for certain! Whey too much in it also!

    Another way of doing bit would be to sell the one you could get the most money for and use the money to finish the other three.

    Well, pricing wise it from high to low would be the King, Galaxie, Maverick, and Pinto. Again, the Pinto isn't that comfortable to dive though. The most comfortable are the Galaxy and Maverick (bench seat).

    The Galaxie and Maverick of course. The Maverick is perfect actually and I love that car!

    I had a V6 Pinto Wagon that I flipped for cash and it wasn't all that bad.

    While it takes money to make money.. I would also highly consider putting fresh paint on that car so it sells quicker and for a bit more cash in the end. Otherwise.. only the vultures and project buyers will be coming around to look at it when you sell.

    I have the paint, just waiting for a warm day now to shoot it. But never thought of it like that LOL Vultures ahahahahahaha The Pinto will be near perfect when it's painted though. But out of all my cars, it's the least comfortable of all of them. My two favorite drivers are the Galaxie and Maverick though.
