Question What's your "bucket list" car???

I'm meaning the car that you have always had a sideways yearning for. A car that you would have loved to own but you know in your heart you most probably never will.

Mine is a 1949 or 1950 Hudson Commodore 4 door sedan. I just love that super wide low stance they have. All curves and comfort. They just attract me.

Others??? Lets hear what it is.

I wanted a GTO since my dad first started selling them back in the fall of 1963 - I was 9 years old at the time. In June of 1992 I bought my '64 GTO Convertible for $600.00.

The one that I would love to own but know I never will is the Pontiac Banshee. I've had my GTO shown with the Banshee only 15 feet away, but that's as close as I'll get to owning one...

Really tough to pick just one. Well since I was a teenager I was attracted to the 62 bubble top Impalas, and of course with a duel quad 409.
I was just attracted to the great lines and even at 14 I understood the significance of that engine..

A few I can think of. A mid to late thirties Pontiac Street Rod with a Pontiac engine. Jag XKE. Aston Martin. '57 Poncho hardtop (I had one, but let it go before I finished it).

Plain Jane car with the powerful motor, bench seat, floor shift, even the rubber floor.
Of course, that’s just today. Tomorrow, I might be pining for a super nice ‘67 GTO.
Here’s one that I would definitely look at if I were a collector.

A real aluminum nose 62-63 SD Catalina. I will never own one so I am currently building a "sort of" clone from a really nice 62 Catalina. It will be close enough and I can drive and enjoy it.

From the era before I was old enough to drive:
I always wanted a W-Motor Chevy, any '59-'62 but preferably a Bel Air or Biscayne coupe.
I'd except a '67 Plum Mist Grand Prix hard top as a substitute.

From the time I was 16 or older:
A 1980 Grand Am, or a 1977 Ventura SJ coupe.

Street legal, winged, sprint car, Stratostreak powered, of course. 8 stack electronic fuel injection, and 410 cubic inches, 4L80E, 1400-1600 lbs. Loosely conforming to the rules, just like the WOO (World Of Outlaws), and ASCOC (All Star Circuit Of Champions) cars.

I'm still trying to attain this dream, if finances, and health allow it. I may have some employment working for my neighbor who has a lawn care service next year, running one of his zero turn mowers.

As has been already mentioned, a 57 Pontiac 2 dr hdtp is also on that list. As well as a 81-87 Pontiac GP NASCAR street driven clone, with a 455 Pontiac engine. I already have a race chassis, a 84 GP donor, and a 455 assembled engine, so this may be one I actually build, God willing. Having 67 YO, mostly in the rear view mirror, and approaching 68 quickly, I'll just have to do what is realistic at this point.

70 RA4 4spd Lucerne Blue TA black deluxe interior and no other options.

Or a 73 SD 4spd Brewster TA Black interior with all the options.

I’ll probably never own either, still hoping for that little old lady to kick it, and me to find it cheap!

63 Galaxie two door sedan, 300 model (No trim, rubber floor mats). Small block Ford.

When I was 17 I came across one as described for sale. $500. Had a 289 with overdrive. Pale blue with dark blue cloth interior. I literally begged my parents to help me buy it. They were interested but finances got in the way.
Fast forward to 1992, I came across another one but with an inline six and 3 on the tree. Not running, For sale at $500. A divorce got in the way this time.
Then last year I saw one on a local Craigs List. Fully restored with a 351 Cleveland and AOD. $35,000.
Why is it all about the Benjamins? LOL

Tough call. Either an Atoll Blue '70 Judge Ram Air IV four speed or an Aegena Blue '68 Ram Air II 4 speed GTO.
