What car did you lust after as a teenager?

A friend of mine in High school had one. He blew the 428 and his dad had Holman & Moody put a 427 and a built up driveline in it. He stayed in trouble with so his dad finally sold to his brother, (Tommy's uncle). I got to drive it a few times then and it was a BEAR!

Had to be a beast, Especially with the crappy tires back then

American would be a Mustang, any year before 74.

European would be the Jaguar E-Type, any yr before 71 and my ultimate dream car.

I've been lucky enough to have an example of both, and currently drive a 2017 Mustang GT.

All that said, there are hundreds of cars on my wish list, and oddly enough many are Jaguars lol.

Imagine tooling around town in the C-Type, how cool would that be.

That Camaro was pretty fast, 350 ci with 375 hp, Add headers and good mufflers and had a very good looking quick car

Back in the early 80's I lent my buddy my L-79 powered 69 Malibu and he totalled it so I was in the market for another cool, fast car. I took a 70 Chevelle LS-6 for a test drive and it was a beast. Next test drive was a 70 Z-28, compared to the big block Chevelle the 70 Z-28 felt like I was driving a Pinto. Stupid me didn't buy the Chevelle because I didn't like the dark metallic green paint job on it. Probably for the best because I would have killed myself in that thing. It would lite the back tires up at 40 MPH in third gear.
 
My answer to the OP is: yes

lol, all of them.

My dad being a car guy with a nice pontiac collection smattered with some other stuff and working for some famous dealers, I got exposed to and rode in just about everything. Loved GTOs but for some reason by HS I was fixated on the cutlii 442s. Never owned one, my first 6 cars were old's and my 74 I built into a 350 powered clone...but never owned a true 442.

I could take just about every car people have pictured here and be happy.

I am.....a dinosaur

Ps: was really into those '310 hp wink wink' 1973 SD 455 TA's. such a great idea.

I saw a few LS6’s around, Guys were naturally upgrading the camshaft, Exhaust etc, They were not light cars, But they could definitely haul ass
 
I was into muscle cars. A friend bought a 3 year old 70 Chevelle SS 396 that I thought was the coolest car on the planet. It had a flap on the hood that would open when you hit the gas. It had a 4-speed. 4:10 posi rear. Headers were the only non-stock modification. Chicks dug it.
He sold it to me about a year later. Looked just like this before getting it painted.
