Jimmy's cars/vehicles

Besides "God's Own Truck" that we all know from Jimmy's early Key West days, does anyone have any idea of what cars or vehicles Jimmy has owned and driven?

Well excuse the he&& out of me. I did a search and didn't find much. Perhaps, since you appear to be the expert, you can provide a link or two.

but "owned and driven" implies past tense, Cartmill..... sounds more like rocketcrab is after what Jimmy drove in the past, as opposed to the make, model, and license plate of JB's current vehicles....

Was it really a 1964...looks more like a 63 Ford Falcon Sprint to me.

Yes, ma'am, that's correct. Thanks.

According to Steve Eng's unauthorized bio, page 71 say..

Drummer Bill Kehoe, who played with Jimmy, remembers Buffett's tan Ford Falcon. He called it the Tan Hopper. It was his transportation. It had a standard transmission, but it was unique, because it didn't have first or third gear---or reverse. It just had second or fourth and he had to be careful where he parked.

Who knows?

I recall a previous JB owned mini-van on eBay a couple of years ago. There was nothing exciting about it...
