Not to hijack ismaelg;s thread, What's YOUR 1;1 Dream car ?

[espo]

So many interesting and desirable cars and so little money. So I just build models the way I would own them. Works for me.  

[ATHU]

Realistically speaking I'd love to own a '55 Nomad in mint condition.

My ultimate dream car would be something like the 1936 Mercedes Benz 540K Special Roadster.

[Badluck 13]

Either two I would love to have ...from one extreme to another.....The Camaro was at a local show last summer and I tell you if the good Lord himself asked me how I would want a Camaro,this thing would be exactly how I would want it,the one and only thing I would change on this car would be the name and address on the title!!

I think that this exact thing is why most of us build.

Yup. Dozens of way-cool possibilities. 

But two rise to the top of my pile: 

1. '65 or '66 Mustang fastback with '66 GT350 roof windows, side scoops and grille, and '65 GT350R front pan, in dark metallic green, on 15" American Torq-Thrusts.  

2. '68 Z/28 RS in Corvette Bronze with black stripes, D80 spoiler package, '69 cowl induction hood, again on 15" American Torq-Thrusts. 

In either case the powertrain would be replaced by a modern unit capable of 300 honest RWHP and 20+ MPG, and utterly reliable. I don't ask for much.

I hear ya. Foose did one similar on his show recently. But none of the scoops were functional. 

[ChrisBcritter]

Either this, factory stock:

Or this, in 1/1 scale:

[disabled modeler]

For me Id have to chose between these if it were ever possible....

75 Pontiac Trans Am...even one in scale would be great to have since I use to own one.

29 ish Ford or ? coupe hot rod.

76..?  Pontiac Can Am.

90s Chevy crew cab short bed 4x4 pickup.

[Ron Hamilton]

If I had the loot, all of these would be in my garage. I have variations of all of these, except the Lincoln Mark III in my model collection. ether built., or on deck.

[Earl Marischal]

Lotus Super Seven Series III

My dream car since I was a teenager.

For practically, a classic shape Saab 900 Coupe would do me fine.

My dream car (the one I can’t afford):1968/69 Dodge Charger with a 440-6 pack, 4 speed and cragars.

 

My dream truck(one I could probably afford): 61-71 dodge w200 single cab, long bed, 440, 4 speed, steel wheels and rust.

I have about 20 dream cars and a most of them are mopar’s.

What about this one?

Ok, it's not a long bed and it is not a W200 and it only has a 318 (that could easily be swapped) but I think this looks great.

[tbill]

I’ll be driving this to work today,  I’ve had several of my ‘dream cars’ over the years, but so far, this one has been the most fun ?

[PARTSMARTY]

What a great question-wow.i can't narrow it down to one-but i can say it would be a really cool old mopar..I'm such a mopar freak .

That is something that I would like but the only problem is it is located in the USA and I’m 17 so I can’t just go get it.

My grandpa has a D400 Canadian military truck with a 225 slant 6 and 4 speed (I learnt how to drive on that truck)  that I want to try and buy of him and do a moder one ton 4x4 convention.

My own designs, that I'll get back to building within the next few months:

1) An all-composite, single passenger 100 MPG vehicle...

       

2) A rebody of a gen-1 Toyota MR2 (with an early '90's Taurus SHO engine & 5-speed gearbox)...

                                                      

3) This in full scale:

600cc water cooled 2-cylinder Kawasaki, mounted behind the driver and just ahead of the rear wheel.

Though I designed the exterior in about 1985 (with no particular drive-train in mind) I modified the idea in 1995 to run on CNG (as a publicity vehicle for the Natural Gas Vehicle Coalition and other proponents of CNG as a vehicle fuel).

For the sake of simplicity at this point, the first one will run on gasoline. I had just started talking to Thoikol about fabricating "conformable" high-pressure CNG tanks when I ran out of funding back in 1997.

The design was also done with the idea of re-configuring it to run battery-electric, or hybrid-electric fairly easily. Batteries in 1985 were mostly very heavy lead-acid, and not well suited to a hyper-light vehicle.

Battery technology has now advanced to the point that all-electric propulsion with reasonable range is feasible...solar recharging, of course.

For a dream car, probably a Singer Porsche 911.
