My dream car......what's yours?

[Pio1980]

Wish I still had it. The primrose yellow TR3 was my first sports car and it was a real knuckle dragger. The engine was based on a Massey Ferguson tractor engine. The electricals in those British cars were an ongoing issue. Back then we joked that the Brits drank warm beer because their refrigerators were made by Lucus.

S2000. Not sure on the color though, or the year. (Yes, I know the differences. )



And it is so hard to find one now that some idiot hasn't molested with ricer spoilers and plastic crap bolted onto it. Like this trainwreck:



Another rarity I wouldn't mind having is the Acura ZDX, which had less than 7,200 built in a four-year span.





In a classic, either a '65 or '67 Wildcat, or a '65 Riviera. My folks owned a '65 Wildcat 4-door sedan.

Hmmm that’s a toss up, you said “dream car” so if it’s a car then it has to be the Audi R8 spider...


But I would also love to own a Unimog...



Or both... cause you know, lottery money is free money.

Will I have to wake from the dream? Because the “want” is probably better than the “have”.

A 2 inch chop wold make that thing look way better!

These in the spring... along with a few other suspension upgrades from them and others

Would LOVE to have all my Lincolns back in tip-top shape, my papaw's '73 Fleetwood Brougham the same way, the Mighty Valdez restored back to its y2k shape, & my 51 Chevy tonne Panel Wagon restored too, w/maybe a nicepowerglide & 327 dropped in, just for shits & giggles. IF I could have a new car, it'd HAVE to be a S-class 600 V-12 Pullman or Maybach... Hey, if you're gonna go for it, GO FOR IT....By all means...

My father came home from work one night and showed up with this car for Mom to haul us kids around . What screams family truckster more than a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T with a 440 ?

I'm trying to imagine that kitchen table sales pitch. I recall something about a kid trying to sell his parents on a GTO as a gas saving economy car because GTO means "gallons to zero".

Sales pitch ? haha

Dad just showed up with the car unannounced . This was the fall of 1969

In the early 90's a lady advertised her late husband's Morgan for a grand. I was the first to look at it but because of my indecisiveness it was sold right out from under me. It had a little wood rot but not a difficult repair. And yes some of the body components were wood.

 

[Shadowdog]

My mother always wanted a Morgan just like that!

 

[greymatter]

Had a buddy that had a few Morgans , my favorite was his plus 4 . He had so many car he started a import shop just to save money on repairs. 5 Porschs, a Jaguar xke 1968 , a original Mini . But I loved the right hand drive Morgan the best .

 

[Pio1980]

This would be one I would definitely enjoy, but still be intimidated by the responsibility.

I drove the 5 window rumble seat coupe version of this car in my later teen years.

Reminds me of this great movie scene:

I like Art Deco, so a Delage D8-120S Pourtout Aero Coupe would be nice.

Those are nice!

But I meant two inches off the top. Get rid of some of that greenhouse. It would look badass (IMO...of course)
