So I can sell it and get on the waiting list for this

Someone who dreams big! I was gonna pick the Veneno, till I did some research and saw that the Koenigsegg one:1 is a faster, more powerful car. But, that Veneno is a badass car.

Then again. I do like it in white.

Hmmm, something with looks, practicality, and that would be fun to drive... I would go for one of the new continuation/rebuilt Jensen Interceptors. Make mine gunmetal grey with tobacco hides, please.

Limitless funds to buy any car, impractical or not = one of a kind, irreplaceable classic. Mine would be this one, 1957 Maserati 450S Costin Zagato Le Mans Coupe:

But what would be my streetable, money no object contemporary equivalent? Perhaps to have the Raeli Ferrari F80 Concept built and developed...:

Otherwise, if I had to write the check and take delivery of a production car then the current leaders are most likely the LaFerrari or the Lamborghini Veneno shown above.

Tricky question really. Not sure what I would want, I have had the chance to drive a lot of different vehicles ( no real high dollar super cars, but a lot of classic cars), and to be honest, some of the stuff I had thought I'd like to own, was a big let down after actually driving it. I guess what I mean to say is, they look awesome, big horsepower, but actually suck to drive.

Even with money no object, I'd hate to buy something then find out I hate driving it, lol.

So, in the end, I'd go with a 66 chevelle SS convert., with a 4 speed, or a 70 chevelle SS convert. with an LS6 and a 4 speed.

No exotic cars here, I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a Sheik!

If it was "money is no object" I'd like one of those Tucker replicas that IDA Automotive was making on Cadillac chassis. I don't know if they're still producing them, but I'd ask them to build mine on a Tesla chassis. And then I'd drive it every day!

I can gladly say I already own the car I'd buy if money were no object. Fortunately, it was pretty cheap for what it is. I do plan to change a few things in the near future though, a 4 inch cowl hood, early fiberglass front end, and spindle mount Weld Alumastar wheels to name a few. I'm sure its strange that somebody would want a vega of all things, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

The problem with great vintage cars is that there's too much responsibility ... and who needs that if you're stinking rich?

$$$$$ for a "team" to take care of things... That's how its done.

It's impossible to beat what you get from building something yourself. I completely understand your viewpoint, and really like your line "I wouldn't trade it for anything." B)
