What's on your automotive "bucket list?"

[-db-]

Like a fool, I sold it and have regretted it ever since so I'm going to have to find another someday. The oddest little Chevy II/Nova that isn't one and nobody knows what it is, a '65 Pontiac Acadian Invader I had for a couple years and let it go. The only picture I have of it (I wouldn't mind having the truck back, either):

For those of you scratching your heads, it's a GM Canada Oshawa-built Chevy II badged as a Pontiac with a Ponch-style split grille. The Invader is better for racing than the more popular Canso because it's a sedan with door posts, making the body/roof stiffer than the coupe's. Mine had a bored 400 small block, 'Glide and a 4.56 rear. Not only did it puzzle guys trying to figure out "what's wrong with that Chevy" but they also had a hard time catching up with it for a closer look.

Here's some better photos of another I found showing what these cars look like:

Would like to eventually get a Chrysler 300 from between 2003-2006, back when they were really boxy. I'd like to black it, limo tint, chrome, some nice rims, and then have the homicide doors so the whole car opens up on the side. One day!

You forgot to mention one of the finest pr0nstaches I've ever seen!

my 76 TA and 72 citaberia, and a 64 Hawg.

Finally got mine last year...had to buy it used, but still: BMW M3.

Love the 400 HP V8, handles like Luciana Palluzzi in James Bond's Thunderball , enough luxury to make it a complete GT for long distance cruising:

Two cars that I would love to have are a 1930 4 1/2 liter blown Bentley, painted British racing green, of course, and a 1947 Buick Roadmaster convertible with the 320 ci OHV straight eight and the three speed manual transmission, maroon with a white top.

 

[Old TexMex]

That's sweet. He had the right idea on safety putting a split master and power. I really like it.

Driving that 53 Monterey was a treat for all the senses. Nothing sounds like a flathead. Nothin'.

So many great autos to pick from, yet so little time and so little money. Yet may all time dream ride is.

Well I did say there were so many...

I've had a few fun cars.....drove one of the new Challengers yesterday while my honeys car was in for repairs, and I was surprised how well it handled....BUT, I will never get over the Sunbeam Tiger a buddy had when I was a young cop. Had a 302 shoved in to it. Pure adrenalin!

This:



Been working on it since 1996:





Got it to this stage in 2009 and stopped working on it.



Going in the trailer:




No time to finish it, I decided to bite the bullet and send it off to a shop and have the last few things done and get the body/paint taken care of. Don't think I'll ever take on another total resto-mod.

You and I think a lot alike. I used to drool over the Bentley on the old TV series The Avengers. Also I have always loved those '46-'48 Buicks.

I really want to get this truck restored. I have had it since 1994 and while she has broken down on the road, she has never left me in the middle of nowhere. Even after sitting for months, she fires right up.

Parts are cheap so it is possible but it'd be cheaper to buy another one already done. Is the frame solid? First thing I'd do is source a southern box. The front fenders and doors can be bought new.

 

[Donn]

Luckily, I still have it. A 1967 Corvette convertible, bought it in '71. The only car I ever lusted after, haven't found one I like better.

 

[Dave from Pa]

2007 Shelby GT-H convertible with automatic.Anyone run across one near Pa. could you let me know.

 

[wbraswell]

I would love to have another Bright Yellow 1969 Boss 302 Mustang.
I would love to drive a new GT500 with a stick, but I'd never be able to buy a $70G car.

 

[feralmerril]

For a short while years ago I had a two door 55 chev bel air hardtop that was two toned pink and battelship gray.

What's on YOUR list - possible, or improbable?

MAKO1

 

[Marshwheeling]

I would take a 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce roadster, and an original AC/Shelby Cobra, with 289.

I used to drool over the Bentley on the old TV series The Avengers.

I was drooling, too, but not over the Bentley.

Watch out what you wish for,
