I see them on the road from time to time. Rare.

For context.... I was 10 in 1972.

I was 4! Which means it was probably a different car for me :-) I looked it up and the one I was thinking about from that movie was the Lincoln Mark VII LSC.

I looked up the Mark IV. A girl used to work with at McDonald's when I was in high school had one. It was very big!

At least your dream car wasn't this:


I was 11 in 1972. My dream car was a Corvette. By 1975, it was a Porsche 911. In 1981, (okay, no longer a child) it was a Lamborghini Countach (Tara Buckman and Adrienne Barbeau being co-drivers of it in "Cannonball Run" had some influence).

My adult dream car was the Corvette ... until I got my 01 Boxster S 10 years ago. It became my dream car.

Dream cars can change, because there are always newer cars to replace the older dreams.

To the OP, try to get the car you dream about NOW. If that isn't a Boxster, get the Z. I've never driven a Z (other than a 1971 240Z that a friend bought in 1979), but other than "Color combo is awesome" and how it looks, I doubt you will like it more than a newer Boxster.
