Bucket list cars

[Retroman1969]

Tough call:
A Porsche 993 would be high on the list along with the Ferrari 308 (yes, I was an avid Magnum fan in the day). Early Firebird Esprit (an even bigger Rockford fan), Aston Martin DB9, Jag E-type or even the modern F-type, Land Rover Defender, one of the modern custom re-pop 550 Spyders.

[Jim Rockford]

1st Gen BMW M Coupe (clownshoe)

Those wide hips and general awkwardness are a winning combination. And the fact that virtually nobody gets the appeal of this car makes me like it even more.

Someday I'll net me one of these and make my way down to Dorkfest.

Oh yeah and retroman, thanks for reminding me... an early Firebird Esprit for me too. Preferably in gold metallic.

Way cool list thanks for responding.

Cars on the somewhat realistic list:

Porsche 911 SC / 911 3.2
Porsche 968
Datsun 280Z (I had one when I was in college, until it literally rusted in half)

The 'Powerball' list (cars that would be in my garage if I hit the lottery):

Too many Porsche to list
Ferrari F40
Ferrari 512BB
Jaguar E-type Lightweight
Pre-1957 Porsche 356 (or 550!) that would allow me to enter the Mille Miglia.
Any pre-57 Alfa/Jag/Merc/etc that would allow me to run in the MM....I actually plan on doing that one way or the other.

D type Jag
XKE roadster
Lotus Super 7

And of course any Porsche

By today's standard they aren't all that anymore but still very desirable. They are starting to hit the 25 year mark so we can finally bring them into the U.S.

For me pretty much any Porsche sports car is a dream car for me.

And as a bonus, you can turn it into a toaster

[husker boxster]

A 997.2 GT3, but lately I've been thinking about a 987.2 Boxster Spyder in red or blue.

That reminds me, I need to get a PB tic.

[WillH]

Maybe more of a dream garage.

In no particular order,

'65 Corvette Grand Sport

'70 Camaro split bumper

'83 Camaro RS, (with the 5 speed and 350/350 4 bolt main I installed), to relive misspent youth.

Shoebox Ford, chopped but not too extreme, just because...

427 cobra

64-66 Shelby mustang 350

GT40

Lotus7

Alfa Romeo GTA

BMW 2002tii

Ferrari 328 gts

Ferrari Daytona Spyder, no mirror, “What’s behind me is not important.” 😀
Dino

Porsche 928

993

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe

Out of all those, the 83 Camaro and the 928 might be doable.

My wife had one of those when we got married. We gave it to a friend when we moved to Germany in '98. He hadn't picked it up yet when we left and for all I know it's still sitting in front of my old house with the key in the ignition.

I'd have a Yugo or a Zastava or Fiat 127. Honest transportation.
