What models do you have the most of in your collection? Model includes convertible, coupe, hardtop, sedan, station wagon.

I have:
51 Mustangs (includes Shelby Mustangs)
43 Camaros. 20 are 1969's.
36 Corvettes
30 GTO's (that surprised me!)

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
Too many, and too scattered, to count. I suspect Mustangs top my list, however.

I have a LOT of VWs. Many air-cooled Beetles...

I have a bunch of my favorite muscle car- the fastbacked Barracuda. Many color variations!

Ditto that..... Err except for the Mustang part. ;)

Hmmm, am I that over-organized?? :rolleyes:
Actually, for me, that's part of the fun I get out of my hobby. I keep databases for different scales of diecast and I keep my NASCAR diecast in separate databases. I refer mainly to my regular 1:64 scale database all the time alongside Wyatt's sites (for JL & GL). When I'm in my garage it's a different story. :D That's where my cars are and I have 100's on display to admire and enjoy! :thumbup: Swifty can attest to that! :)
(BTW, Sean, Sandee gave me an acrylic 108 car display case for my birthday and I promptly filled it with Mopars! B) )

For a small sum of money, Swifty can attest to that! :)

Slight edit to the above... ;)

No, seriously, Mark's got an impressive collection! :thumbup:

Hey Mark, I've got all my JL in a database too, and yes, it makes it easy to get count figures. Just for kicks I decided to check those same models. Including duplicates I have:
102 Mustangs (includes Shelby Mustangs)
98 Camaros.
76 Corvettes
69 GTO's

But I only display a few of each model in my display cases.

I have too many and not sorted cars to get an accurate count. I know my favorites are 70 superbee, 69 GTO, first and second generation firebirds, 68-70 dodge chargers, and first gen camaros.

OK. So there are some organized collectors other than myself! :lol:

David, I am not surprised you have yours in a database; if you have a sizeable collection, it definitely makes it more manageable and fun!

I don't rotate my cars in the display cases but it's something to consider. Some of my other open cars are in protecto paks stored in a 5 drawer metal cabinet; the others are in 48-car Plano cases.

I already know what I want for Christmas from my wife: another acrylic 108-car display case! ;)

I'll have to check my data base when I get home. I suspect it will be Cougar-heavy, followed by Mustangs and Camaros. This should be good, how well do I know my own collection....

Mike, I hope you are already planning an area in your new house for your collection - show it off!!

If we ever finish our basement, I would like to move my entire collection to display cases all along the walls. :wub: Hey! I can dream, can't I??
