If I win the lottery, the first car I buy would be....
 
1968 Ram Air II Firebird 4 speed.

What would you buy?

68lemansman 11-28-2012 06:07 PM

One way ticket to disappearing cause everybody and your long lost sister,brother,cousin,and mother inlaw will be calling!

russosborne 11-28-2012 06:20 PM

Well, it would depend on what I could find first.
Here is my list of wanted cars. Not in any real order.
70 GTO
69 Mustang Coupe/hardtop. High School car, took my driving test in mine.
65 Olds Dynamic 88 2 door. First car I owned, never ran. Learned a whole lot about starting and ignition systems on it. Found out after I sold it that the engine had frozen.
72 Ranchero
40 Ford
57 Ranchero
57 Ford
79 Pinto
63 Grand Prix
65 Bonneville (built the plastic model kit many times, one of my favorites to build). Moved to Phoenix from Ohio in a station wagon version.
66/7 Corvette with a 427.
60 Vette to make into a gasser (another model kit I loved to build)
32 Duece (but no chevy engine!)
60 Chevy sedan delivery ( I think that is the name)(another favorite model kit)
Almost any older funny car (60's to 70's, back when they looked like the car they were supposed to be)
41 Willys gasser
67 Mustang (for my best friend, was his second high school car)
63 Dodge Dart GT ( again for my best friend, was his first high school car)

I better stop here. I could do this all night long, and I am at work. Especially since I can't buy a ticket.

spartazoo 11-28-2012 07:23 PM

I was born in 1970. I would buy an orbit orange Ram Air IV Judge and a lucy blue Ram Air IV Trans Am.

G-5, 757 is limited to major airports, The G-5 can go just about anywhere.

The 1st 10% would be given to Brothers and Sister in Christ Jesus, then BUY a Starlight Black 1968 Ram Air II GTO at twice Sale price, then sober worldy thought on how invest the money into Profitable ventures that employe good people doing good work. So on so forth, yada blah blah, outta here.
Let's hope and Pray that is God's will...HIS

hurryinhoosier62 11-28-2012 07:31 PM

sleepy,

As long as it has a 5,500 ft runway that is rated for 100,000lbs landing weight. No, I rather have a Citation X and a King Air 200. Both can operate from airfields where ANY Gulfstream (IV,V,G450,G500,G550) COULD NOT.

hurryinhoosier62 11-28-2012 07:32 PM

HIS,

Dittos on the tithe. One problem; would you give it all to one church or spread it around?

I would buy my old Y-81 T/A back and send it to Scott Tiemann to be restored.

69goatboy 11-28-2012 07:49 PM

Brand new 911 turbo.
Then start building a massive garage and take my pleasant time populating it with many of the vehicles already mentioned, among others.

A 67 427 vette vert would be near the top of that list.

Hitman 11-28-2012 07:50 PM

The first one? It would be the one that she wants. After that I would buy a 65 Catalina 2 door hardtop and have it restored using all modern drivetrain to make it a reliable daily driver.

Directly to Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus; in need, or debt( mortgages) until the 10% is reached. That is simple.

No such distribution to those that have a " sudden spiritual sight", no organized church that feeds a Conference, no Redistribution to "do good works"in the name of doing good works. That is simple.

Cool .

hurryinhoosier62 11-28-2012 08:18 PM

'67 Ferrari 330GT 2+2 in Azure Blue followed shortly a '65 2+2 Catalina, '69 RAIV Goat like my uncle had, '62 SD421 Catalina, '72 Hurst SST Grand Prix and a '76 Grand Prix rebuilt into the sweetest highway cruiser money can buy(with a pure Pontiac powertrain).

The Champ 11-28-2012 08:24 PM

I already have a '64 GTO Convertible, so I'd probably look for a 1965 Iris Mist Ram Air GTO with 3 deuces and a 4 spd..

Then a '66 Ram Air GTO with 3 deuces and a 4 spd.

Next would be a Plum Mist '67 Ram Air GTO with a 4 spd and.

Next a '67 Firebird with the Sprint option and a 4 spd.

While I'm buying '67's - I might just as well pick up a GP Convertible...;)

einstein 11-28-2012 08:25 PM

Duesenberg dual-cowl phaeton, prefer one with a V-windshield. And a place to house it. With room for a few lesser vehicles. ;)

barrierblue66 11-28-2012 08:30 PM

Would be a new Mini Cooper for my daughter. She has a 2003 that she loves, but it's got 113K miles now and has been needing the high mileage fixes lately.
For me? '65 2+2 Catalina, 421, tri power 4 speed, maybe another full size SD Pontiac.

Same answer as always.

77 Canamman 11-28-2012 10:02 PM

I would build, using all correct casting number parts, a concours level 1973 GTO SD-455 4 speed. Black on black, Rally Cluster with tach, small hub PMD Custom Sport Wheel, tilt wheel, no console, Honeycombs, stripes. Then go and race it against the stout Stage 1 4 speed 1973 Gran Sport, and see people's reactions.. HA!

hurryinhoosier62 11-28-2012 10:18 PM

einstein,

Good choice, but I'd rather have an Auburn boattail Speedster(supercharged, of course).

borracho 11-28-2012 10:41 PM

'66 W30 442 has always been my favorite car, that would be first. '68 RAII Firebird would be close behind.

71SportRagtop 11-28-2012 10:46 PM

Obviously if I win $550 million I'm not buying JUST one classic car. I'm gonna have a crapload of them.

But the very first one I'd buy is John Milner's 32 Coupe.

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...lnerscoupe.png

Look I love Musclecars and Pontiac makes some serious Musclecars but there's just nothing cooler or more classic than a 32 Ford coupe.

Just badass.

That particular car falls under my "lesser vehicles" category... That list would be a couple hundred cars.

hurryinhoosier62 11-28-2012 11:01 PM

einstein,

Auburns may have been "lesser", but they are far more practical to drive today than a
multimillion dollar Dussie.

fiedlerh 11-28-2012 11:13 PM

Cars of course, but I would buy a company and tool it up to make all the obscure parts that restorations companies find unprofitable to make.

dreamingmuscle 11-28-2012 11:36 PM

You mean what brand of car dealership would I buy first?

That falls into the category of "how to make a small fortune in the (fill in the blank, i.e. automotive restoration parts business, racing, etc) - start with a large fortune."

hurryinhoosier62 11-29-2012 12:37 AM

einstein,

We used the same addage in general aviation. BTW....no, not to work. Just to take out on a nice Sunday afternoon drive.

Lightfoot 11-29-2012 12:40 AM

Orbit Orange GTOs are sweet but,
 
'76, or '77 Ventura SJ coupe; preferably 1977. Then I'd replace the drivetrain with running gear from a '74 GTO w/4-speed.

Second choice would be a '75 Ventura Sprint with factory 3-speed floor shift. Replace the 260 with a freshened up 403.

An original Cameo White 1980 Grand Am would be nice. I'd have it color changed to Peidmont Green, no expense spared. (I couldn't do that to a red, black or gold one)

hurryinhoosier62 11-29-2012 12:52 AM

Lloyd-TX 11-30-2012 10:10 AM

Sorry, but at my advanced age and mellow-ness, I'd have to go for a 2013 Camaro ZL-1 coupe - with the automatic of course!

63Banshee 11-30-2012 11:09 AM

Toss up between a '62 Ferrari 250 GTO and '65 Shelby Daytona. Next in line, '63 SD Tempest Wagon.

klunker 11-30-2012 11:16 AM

BMW M5 with manual trans. Great daily driver!!!

The first car I would buy would be a 24 year old corvette complete with 24 year old girl.
