OK, here's my entry, starting with me:

'55 Gingerich.  Rebuilt in 1978 after a motorcycle "accident" (damn drunks!)
Partially rebuilt again in 1995.  Running a bit slower, but still running.
Slightly shorter, too.
'74 Spitfire a.k.a. Frankenspit.  Awaiting completion of his heart tranplant
and suspension rebuild.
'73 Spitfire a.k.a. Rip Van Spitfire.  Been asleep for a few years.  Eventual
rebuild candidate, but now serving as a "pattern" and heart donor for Frank.
'71 GT6 a.k.a. Dorian "Primer" Gray.  The next project, after Frank.  I'm
really looking forward to getting Dorian going.  Should be quite a ride!
'72 GT6.  No name, no drive train, no interior.  Nice chassis, though.  Free,
too!
'77 Honda CB750K.  No name.  Needs an alternator and new shoes.  Maybe this
summer.
'89 Ford van a.k.a. "The Bus"  Great for departmental lunches off site.

Happy Holidays, All!
