Speaking of big old school American iron

Although sadly, it immediately made me remember that fateful day in Dallas , that's real beauty!
Always was a fan of suicide doors. Very nice!

I've had a MG-TD, a Austin Healy 100M, a Sunbeam Tiger among others but I've always wanted a '49 Merc with a chopped top and lake pipes.
I lifted the pic - wish the car was mine. One can only dream!

This.
With modern running gear of course.

If not that a Triumph TR6

Top down summer night on the Hwy feels like you're just on the couch cruising under the stars. 5 stars.

My first car was a 1974 Ford Ranchero GT. I would get that exact car brand new as it rolled off the line.

Good choice Rancheros are cooler than el caminos

American cars of that era weren't all that well put together and didn't have the power that modern cars do but they sure did look good which is why I love the resto-mod trend.

first choice would be the most recent model ford gt, runner up a restored 71 mach 1. currently could also do with an upgrade from 5.0 to 5.2.

The two 1974 cars I've had were as good or better than anything I've ever owned. I've never had anything older so can't speak to older cars. They probably were better.

I've always wanted a 1965 Ford/AC Cobra FIA 289. I also like the early Jaguar XKE's (V12 convertible), perhaps one of the best designed cars of all time.

This would take care of Atlanta traffic for me.

 

[K.O.D.]

Oh Lord, just one?

Well, my problem is I'm 6'4", so a lot of my faves I would no way, no how, fit into. Such as a 1973 Lancia Stratos.

That said, I think a 1970 Baldwin-Motion Chevelle 454 phase III would likely be #1.

Expedition-ready Toyota diesel Land Cruiser in left-hand drive with a rooftop tent.

One day...

Nice! Not many people even know about them.

For muscle cars, would love a Yenko Camaro, Hemi Cuda, Olds 442 W30, the list goes on...

For exotics, Lambo Miura, Countach, and Centenario

If I had the money I would be like Leno with cars

 

[sgt244]

Ford Raptor---easy question!

 

[jux t]

I just want my 1988 AMC Eagle back.

Here it is/was.

 

[000Robert]

If I could have any car that I wanted, I would have a '66 Hemi Cuda, solid black.

Awesome thread!!! To those who mentioned Toyota Land Cruiser, I am with you guys! My grandfather had Toyota Land Cruiser 80 series, great car! Lots of happy memories!!!
Now to my list! For me it is a little bit hard to pick one favorite!
Ferrari 275GTB Long Nose.
Jaguar E-Type Low Drag
1968 Shelby Mustang GT500KR
Mercedes SEC560 AMG wide body

My old girl is about to go onto the road after a lengthy rebuild.......'99 WRX heavily modified.
I was hoping to have her done by Xmas but '20 has been a PITA!

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Fun thread! For me, a Jaguar XK140. Of course, I would also need a valet ("gentleman's personal gentleman"). "Oh, Jeeves, lay out my tweeds. I'll be taking the Jaguar out today." (And that's pronounced as the British "jag-you-are," not the vulgar American "jag-war.")
