Cars you covet?

Found some more info re the final disposition of the cars my friend owned; here is a link, with the relevant paragraph cited:

Jerry McGlothin: Italian Beauties, American Brawn Great Garage From Highline Autos Magazine

•1966 Vetta Ventura coupe — “It’s one of 77 coupes, and the 1965 convertible is one of 11 cars. They were purchased from a lady in Detroit who inherited them from her father who lived on the upper peninsula in Michigan. Her dad initially bought the coupe to use as a parts car for the convertible but decided the coupe, having a rust-free body, was too nice to part out and, instead, he restored it. I am currently embarking on a full restoration of the convertible.”

This list could get really long, but I will try to keep it to the top few.

Monza 2+2 Yeah, its not an expensive or super rare car, but it was my first car and it is my goal to find another and make it badass and fuck with ricers with it.

I'll end it there before I get carried away.

My FD is probably the best all around car i will own, its a money pit but an absolute joy to own and drive. But in the spirit of the thread:

For me of cars i still have a small chance of owning...there can be only one:

The car that pushes all the right buttons i'll never own and never even have a chance to drive is the F40.

Really surprised no one jumped in and called that F40 a sin against all things Ferrari lol.(cause it's black) they only came in two colors and black was not one of them. But I think it looks the best in the black!

For me, 71 Hemi Cuda, 03/04 termi Cobra, 99 Diablo, badass built C10,02 TA

I think that's because it looks too good to say anything bad about it. I for one am the opposite of feeling the need to keep cars stock anyway, so I for sure will not go against anything done properly.

I think that was the Gas Monkey f40 wasn't it?

Nevermind, here's the gas monkey one. The black one posted above looks better with the stock flipups.

The Gas Monkey F40 looks awesome in person!

Currently I'm feening after this:

http://www.torquenews.com/sites/defa...model_s_14.jpg

Tesla Model S P85D. AWD instant TQ. 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. Just outside the price range for now.

I have two things that still appeal to me.

A twin-turbocharged prowler

and an SLK55 AMG with an E55 AMG engine (v8 twin-turbo in a car that weighs under 3200 lbs).


...for now, I'll probably end up getting the NA SLK55 AMG when I get stateside--assuming I can find one for around 20k.

one of these in the future hopefully
