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

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.

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!

einstein,

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

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

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.



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.

einstein,

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

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.

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."
