Not Ranked
I own or have owned most of my dream cars. However one( maybe 2 ) has escaped me, although I almost got it last year. I am a gluten for punishment , but I like Italian and Ford, so I have always wanted a Mangusta. Something about it's lines and that split rear deck. There was also another Italian/American I liked that came in several names. It was built by Intermechanica( I believe), was front engined and looked ,like many Italian cars, Beautiful. I think it was early on sold as an Omega and later went through another name change or two. I believe the very early ones may have had Buick engines, but I liked the 289 Ford powered ones that were made in the late 60s...I don't believe I can't remember it's name. Front engined nice flowing front end, drop top and coupe if I recall correctly. The local Ford dealer had a couple go through it over the years, back when it was owned by some real car guys.
In 1970 that dealership had one whole showroom set up for just Boss 302s, virtually every color combo you could imagine. I saw the only black with pale white shaker car I have ever seen. I promptly painted my Hi-Po '65 Mustang similarly. Black with eggshell white accents.
addendum; I remembered, pretty funny that I couldn't remember the name of that car...it was an Italia...DOH.
