One of my favorite topics...Dream Cars!!...hmm, that's what I'm doing most of the time, dreaming about cars I want...
Like most everyone else here, the Shelby Cobra has always been at the top of my list. But other than that, there are many cars that get me yearning:

This poor schmuck has to make a tough decision every time he wants to go for a ride. It just feels so much better to WANT. Doesn't it? :LOL: I mean seriously, what does a guy like this dream about?

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. |

As far as an "obtainable" dream car, I've had a thing for the GT-350, as well as a 70's Cuda with 440 six pack. A car that I had always admired as a kid was a BMW 3.0 CSI touched by Alpina. The latest generation of the Porsche GT3 would be up there as well. It's "semi-attainable" but I need more lottery tickets!!! :D |
I'm pretty damn lucky, I guess, because I am building the car of my dreams.
We did have a '68 GT500/4sp before we got married. We could not afford to keep it, and had to sell. Always regret giving away boxes of 'spare' original shelby parts with the car. Aside from that, there's the plan to do a daytona coupe maybe a 71 cuda http://www.timemachinesinc.com/pastc...a/Photo516.JPG |
In relatively accurate order:
'70 Hemicuda (automatic) '70 AAR Cuda 4-speed (mine is an automatic) '69 Hemi Daytona 4-speed '70 Hemi Superbird 4-speed '70 BOSS '9 Mustang '71 Mach 1 429 SCJ 4-speed '69 Mach 1 428 CJ 4-speed '69 Shelby GT-500 Convert 4-speed '69 COPO Camaro '70 AMX 390 4-speeder '68 Mustang GT 390 Enough dreaming??? |

Over 500hp, functional hood and side scoops, tweaked suspension, Baer brakes, Borla exhaust. Car is functional performance and far from "pimped" IMHO and a very nice looking ride. SA will sell every one they intend to sell.
