Any Duesenberg touring car, but I'm especially fond of this one:

I have a list of cars I want to obtain. I'm fortunate enough to have obtained one of them recently, but still have a few I want.
69 Charger, probably a General Lee, but would love one in black with a red R/T stripe. Loved the General Lee in the tv show and movie. Something about that flag, push bumper, and turbine wheels just looks sooooo good. 67 GT500 Eleanor. Ever since I first saw the remake Gone In 60 Seconds, I thought it was one of the most beautiful cars ever made. 70 Superbird in Lime Light on black. The winged cars are some of the coolest vehicles to ever grace the roadways and race tracks. 98-02 R34 Nissan Skyline GTR in Bayside blue. This car is my generations Lamborghini Countach. Everyone had a poster of it on their wall, toys and Rc cars of it, and always was the car to have in video games. I've been planning on importing one as soon as they become legal. I'll probably end up buying before they're legal, and keeping it in storage in Japan until it can come over here. I have other cars that I want, I dont think any car guy can narrow it down to one car, but those four are on my short list.

The car I wanted most when I was a teenager was a red 1973 SD455 4-spd with a/c and loaded with options. I sat in a red 1973 SD automatic in 1973 when I was 16, and I was totally impressed. Since the 4-spd cars weren't available with A/C, I plan to build my own using a wrecked 73 455 4-spd T/A and a spare SD motor I have.
When I was younger, I really wanted a blue 427 AC Cobra. I worked for a guy in the mid-1970s who restored Fords for a wealthy collector. I worked on and drove a real 289 Cobra and a 427 Cobra. They were awesome, but totally lacked any creature comforts. The 427 was brutal. So I think I would need at least two different cars. One would be a weekend toy, the other would be a comfortable cruiser. Another car I'd really like to have is a 65 Buick Riviera GS. When I was 18, I bought a 1964 Riviera dual quad car. There was no GS in 1964, the dual quad 425 was an option. I loved that car, super comfortable and a real cruiser. I still regret selling that car, but I like the hideaway headlights of the 1965 better. Right after my mother passed away, I had a chance to buy a 65 Riviera GS in nice shape with the original drivetrain, but I didn't act on it because I was considering buying my brother's and sister's share of my parents home. |

Porsche GT3. Probably a late model "Touring". Nothing like a high rpm flat 6 Porsche.

I would love a 1973-1991 K5 Blazer, a 1977 Chevrolet Monza Mirage or Spyder, another Can Am to replace the one I had from 1983-1999 that rusted away. You get the idea, I would love to have a lot of cars.

Late 80s Porsche 930 Turbo, rode in one and it was a damn rocket.

Only two bucket list dream cars.
One would be the '68 GTO I currently have but completed. I love the paint color annd the parchment interior but would love the interior re-done iin parchment leather. Mechanically I would love a Moser 12 bolt or 9 inch, a 4L80E with a great controller, and the 428 totally rebuilt with all forged internals either as a 428 or 461 (just can't decide), Voodoo cam and valve train to match, aluminum heads (probable KRE), and intake/fuel system still undecided with a Tanks tank with internal pump (you all know the drill here). Other would be a 1951 Ford tudor with a 1950 front clip, original style interior with new gauges like original. A Fatman custom chassis, with original syle 15" wheels and dog dish hubcaps, 4L80 trans with Lokar shifter, and a built Pontiac 455 inch with tri-power. Don'thave it completely thought out as it's just a dream for now. For those who wonder, it would be a tribute car to Robet Mitchum's Ford in the Thunder Road movie. (Fimed in 1957 about 50 miles north of where I live.) Probably would skip the likker tank tho. Really enjoy the variety of cars on this thread.

Not so much a bucket list car since I would never be able to afford one (they sell for a little over $1 million), but a dream car would be a reimagined E-type built by Eagle in Great Britain. I especially like their low drag coupe.
