If money wasn't an option?..
We all sit around our garages with a beer or two and the conversation ends up with
"I would love to be able to buy....."...
If money was not an option what would be sitting or parked in your garage..

I'm not too fussy, I think for a daily driver I'd be happy with a BMW M3 Coupe, and for a toy a Lambo Miura but If no one would surrender one, I'd settle for a Pantera.

Since I was about 10 years old, I dreamed of owning a Cobra. One that was brutally fast, had killer looks, and was a blast to drive on the street and the track. Well......
People often joke about "Living the Dream". I'm actually doing it!

Any supercharged Duesenburg would do the trick for me.

Hmmmm, very nice indeed & a favorite of mine.
I'd try for Larry Ellison's Fully Billet Kirkham Cobra...
failling that I'd settle for either on of these two 1930's beauties...
1930 Mercedes-Benz "Count Trossi"
"I cant insert the pic :-("
or the Bugatti type 57sc Atlantic
Daily driving would however be a b!tch!
Enjoy...

Agreed, the 250GTO is very, very nice. The 250GT/SWB is 'OK' as well.
But what about this one, the Bentley Blue Train Car? One only built, so Vintage Racing Green are making replicas based on Bentley Mk VIs....
Cheers!

Quite the car. I was at the Monterey Historics this year and there were THREE of those racing side by side. Listening to those engines rev, even parked in the pits, was incredible.

Jeff,
You have stolen my No.1. Bucket list. There were only two cars that I really loved. Thats was the the 250 GTO and the Cobra. I have the Cobra, but the next step up is pretty steep. Who knows. I have been buying $5 lottery litckets which in NSW is worth now $35 million, so I might just scrape in for a GTO if my lucky number comes up. I woukld still keep the Cobra though. What a great garage pic that would make. One for rsin and one for fine.

Jeff,
I'm with you..
This car is on the top of my 'Bucket List", but the next down the line is the Cobra which I now have. I have only one step to go, but I don't think that the current NSW $5 Lottery win at $35 million could secure an original 250 GTO Ferrari.

Well, if I had to choose a Ferrari ( if I really had to choose one ) it would be a 275 GTB-4. Whilst the GTO is a great car-the 275 gtb-4 is probably the best looking one IMHO.
Failing that it would most like be a Dusenberg Roadster or maybe a Auburn supercharged roadster-both great to look.
