“What's your dream car? Everyman has one.”
Nice picks ���� it's interesting to see how someone is attracted to certain eras
And that’s just a few, I could go on and on listing dream cars. Some of the ones I named in that post I have owned before. The first car my father and I ever worked on as a father & son project was a 49 Ford. I sold it when I was 18 and turned right around and bought three more 49 - 50 Fords within a few months. I later sold them but I’d like to find another and completely finish it. A 68 Lincoln Continental was my first car. I learned to drive in one. At one time there were 5 suicide door Lincolns in the family. I kept that 68 Lincoln for 25 years until 5 years ago when it was stolen from some family property I have. I’ve never owned a complete 36 Ford, but I did own a bunch of parts to one. I came close a couple times to buying a 61 - 63 unibody Ford truck, and for many years my daily driver was a Ford diesel pickup. I wish I still had that one, but like the 68 Lincoln it was stolen, but back in 2007 while I was out of state and it was in storage at a friends shop. That truck was mostly finished, only needing to finish up some paint and bodywork and I was debating on converting it to a dually. As for other vehicles I’d like another 1960 or earlier VW Type 1, AKA Beetle. For some reason a DeLorean is on the list, though I’d probably want to ditch the original PVR V6 for something with more power. An 84 - 86 Mustang SVO is on the list too. Add to that a GMC Syclone/Typhoon truck, a 90s Impala SS, an 86 or 87 GLHS, and an 89 CSX-VNT. I’d like an early 60s Ford Ranchero, preferably a 62 or 63. Go ahead and add a Dodge Rampage pickup converted to a turbo using Shelby Charger donor parts. Oh wait, I’ve got one of those as an unfinished project. If you want to get into more expensive stuff I’d love an early Jaguar XK-E, an early Porsche speedster, and it’s a toss up between a Lamborghini Miura or an early Countach LP400 Periscopo. Round that off with a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr coupe. To finish off this list of cars I’d like to find time to restore my 86 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z C/S that I’ve owned since 1990. I could also use a 4x4 of some sort. Perhaps an early Bronco or another Jeep CJ5. Hell, even a Suzuki Samurai could be fun. And lastly I’d like an Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite, because they’re cute.
