The cars I would like to own if Money was no object.....I would have to go with Cars that had peaked my interest in my past.

current desire is a 1969 VW Notchback, because I owned a 1970 VW Beetle from the past which would also be on the list but down.

Ford Contour1997,
Buick Regal 1990,
Williys Jeep 1944,
Kubelwagen made by Intermeccanica International,
Basic Lada Niva,

Just to name a few

If I had the money the first one I'd round up is another '69 Dodge Coronet (not a Super Bee but maybe an R/T).
After that...
'71 Barracuda
'40 Ford 3-window or Sedan Delivery
'59 or '61 Chevy Biscayne (2-dr post or wagon)
'55 Dodge station wagon (I don't care what trim level)
'87 Buick GNX
...I don't know where to end the list......

Most of the new stuff doesn't excite me in the least.

[Snuffy]

Not a one of em ... sorry!

To get around town? I'll take a Z72 GMC Sierra any day.

[Moses03]

Most of those new cars have those giant wheels and thin tires. I hate that trend as they look awful to me. When I get a new car in the future it will be utilitarian with decent gas mileage. Something simple to get me around town.

My 2 dream cars are a 1970 Plymouth Superbird 4-spd with a 426 Hemi (Limelight green of course) and the other is a 1969 Hurst Olds with the 455 engine.

[Toastmaker]

Well, I suppose I wouldn't say no to the Maserati GT. I was kind of underwhelmed by all the hybrids and electric run-abouts.

[mariereid]

1984 CJ7, no miles and a fibreglass body.

[Daveroo]

of the cars shown,,,the two bentlys,the CT&T amphibian and the BMW Z4..of the girls...the sexond gal with the red and black viper..the girl leaning against the drivers door...weeeeee

of the past? 1933 linclon model KB one of which i used to drive...that was a fun part of my life...the owner had a 67 firebird convertable and he and his wife would ride in the backseat...lol..was a blast...lol

[Willy]

A 39-40 or 41-46 GMC pickup with a later 250 or 292 straight six and a 5 speed with overdrive. Upgrade the brakes to discs too. But keep the stock height and body.

[OBIO]

My dream cars:

1) 1967 Chevy Nova II, 383 stroker, 4 speed or 5 speed manual tranny, limited slip differential with 3.73:1 ratio, 4 wheel disk brakes, Mustang II type front suspension, Corvette rear end and suspension, sub-frame connectors, red with black interior

2) 1979 Chevy Blazer, the big boxy beast, 383 stroker

3) 1958 Buick Roadmaster Convertable, cream and black

4) 1941 Ford Deluxe, 4 door, painted flat OD, with white US Army Star and markings, flat head V-8

5) 1969 Camaro Z28, medium blue with silver stripes, 383 stroker

6) 1997 Buick Regal GS, 3.8 litre turbocharged V-6

7) 1999 to 2004 Pontiac Grand Am GT with the 3.4 V6 swapped out for the 3.8 turbo charged one.

If I am choosing one of those presented on that webpage, then it would have to be the Tesla sedan, last one.

I did some exploring on Flickr.com and found some better screenshots of it. Very nice! I didnt know it would be that nice of a vehicle. I wonder who designed it?

Note, I believe this is a fully electric car. I'll bet it hauls boooot! :d

[kilo delta]

I have rather modest wants..........

... BMW M5 saloon as a daily driver (maybe with a few tweaks)

and a Porsche 993 GT2 for the weekend

[TARPSBird]

For the combination of hot babe and hot car I'll go with the CT&T C- Square in photo 10. On the other hand, not even a "naughty schoolgirl" fantasy could get me interested in the atrocious e-Zone Plus in photo 9.

[d0mokun]

Go to Nurburg- the GT2 and GT3 RS are common place! No kidding.

I'd like the bigger brother of my current steed (TT2).. a V10 R8 Spyder.

Though the Challenger RT looks pretty neat too.

[sandar]

None of those mentioned, it would have to be an Aston Martin DB9 for me, pure sex on wheels.

And if I wanted to cure any constipation, I think I would go for a Shelby AC Cobra

[Ferry_vO]

From that list? The Merc SLS AMG, Maserati Spyder or Audi R8 (Though not in that colour!)

[lifejogger]

Those are some nice looking cars, but I do not care about cars and wish I didn't have to have one so a plain old Toyoto Camry works for me.

[IanP]

I have to agree with sandar. DB9 Volante. British Racing Green with cream interior.

Failing that? I'd be happy with a 911GT3, although I'd never be able to use it because it would destroy my back. Guess I'll have to stick to boring old sensible cars.

My back is already destroyed which is why I drive a boring automatic Renault tourer (sensible, Renault? is anything French sensible?) so I can get my wheelchair in and out relatively easily.

[GT182]

427 Shelby Cobra in Blockhouse Blue
68 428 Shelby Mustang Convertable and Hardtop in Yellow
356 GTB Ferrari Daytona Coup in Red
66 XKE Jaguar Convertable or Coup in BRG or Red
2006 Ford GT40 in Blockhouse Blue or Yellow
Telsa Sedan for giggles and grins, in Silver


Oh, did I say 66 GTO in Red? LOL

[Quixoticish]

Hmm, from that lot, the Maserati GT convertible, the Audi R8, Ferrari 599XX, Lotus Elise, and the BMW Z4. The rest are either hybrids, American, or Chelsea tractors and hold no real interest.

[Tim-HH]

Like Ferry I would choose the Mercedes-Benz SLS...such a wonderful car and listen to that engine: mercedes-benz.tv: Jay Leno meets the SLS

Greetings
Tim

Plenty of hybrids eh?
To do this in the heartland of US motordom seems to indicate they might be serious about electrics, this time round.
Notable too, the captioning the Daily Press uses e.g.
" Model Kelly McManus of Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan poses with the CT&T C2 C Square electric vehicle..."
Babes used to be called (if they were called anything at all, which wasn't often) Kandy, and the bonnet was open to show a 427 cu inch V8.

The Audi R8 would be the only vehicle there that wasn't plain fugly, just fashionable, just frivolous, or a combination.
Edit: OK the Tesla is interesting, too...
