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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

'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).

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...
