History If you could have any car......

What would it be???

We were in the hotel parking lot at the NSRA Nat's and the subject came up by another guy in the group that if he had a million dollars and could buy a car what would it be.

So the question is, if you had a cool million to spend and it had to be spent on a car or cars, what would they be. No fair, can't build one, gotta be already built.

 

A Rudy Rodriguez Model A roadster, a Gary Howard Shoebox Kustom, A Bill Hines chopped Merc, a Kennedy Bros Model A Coupe. Anything left over would buy a piece of land in Austin with a killer pole barn to turn into my man cave.

 

Absolute fav vehicle ... Brinks Truck, fully loaded. Don't even get me started on what cars I would buy after that one.

 

all of them

 

Been done to death but I still want a 40/41 Willys g***er. 392 injected Hemi,4 speed,Olds rear with a high gear,straight axle up front with a nose bleed stance and make it gloss black with tinted windows. Vintage Halibrands please.....

 

You can't build it makes it tough ... it would be something traditional and a Deuce 5 window for starters.

 

1932 Ford 5w coupe done up as a mid 50's drag car. 331 Hemi, LaSalle Box, Crager 4x2 intake, Built banjo, Mood Disks on '40 Ford Wheels, Cheater Slicks, and slick baby blue paint.

 

Way too many to list.. I'd start off with a o/t '69 Z/28 in Fathom green like the one I used to own.. And maybe the "Little Deuce Coupe" if it were for sale at a good price... Yeah right!

 

Bad Bobs merc or some kinda 32 coupe or roadster..

 

I'd sell my cars to my wife, then give her the money needed to build em, then buy em all back, since you said I couldn't build em.

 

Actually, if I've got a Million to blow on a car then I am getting something ferrari...obviously I am a couple million short of this but you know....

 

A Lamorghini,sell the **** and pickup a 32,

 

The Hirohata Mercury for weekends and the Moonglow for weekdays.

 

Anything, as long as it's rattle can flat black and red wheels

 

Life is getting short for me so I would try for the Neikamp '29. If that were out of reach I'd replace the '67 Vette 427/435 hp 4spd. coupe my wife had to sell when I had my accident in 1988.

Hemi powered Bocar

 

First I would buy a 56 Chevy Bel Air convertible in green and white for my dad. He had one back in the day and always talks about it. Then I would buy this for me.

 

Voodoo Psycosis hands down.

 

My pick would be Fred Fleet's, Jackie Howerton track roadster. Its a very tasty combination of Miller Indy racecar, lakes roadster and *****in' hot rod with unrivaled fabrication. I have only seen it in its semi-finished state in "The Rodders Journal" issue 38 (circa January/February 2008), but I dream about that car at night.

 

AC Cobra, '58 Eldo, '60 Pontiac convertable, anything Auburn or Deusenberg. Z06 Vette, Viper, Old Jeep.

Or I'd make a drawing of something cool and commision it. Take it to a builder and say "BUILD IT!"

 

A roth car, either Outlaw or the Mysterion clone, B***' car in a couple years when he's done with all the killer details, the Grammel (sp?) coupe, Simrod's 34.

 

I'd probably have a chopped Merc sled. I'd probably have a Nailhead-powered '32 3-Window. I'd probably have a custom '57 Buick. I'd probably have a Lamborghini of some kind.

I hate this question.

 

Sorry guys! A million bucks ain't gonna cut it for my wish list.. I want more!

 

Any open-wheeled Alpha, Maserati, or Ferrari from the 30s or 40s era would do it for me.

 

Mine are easy...

I would have to do something about it's "G***er" stance...

Delage, Delahaye, Bugatti.

 

38 chevy two door coupe over any ford !

 

A couple of the original GT 40's so me and a friend could race them against each other.

 

With a million bucks, you could have bought 2 of the newer ones back in '05 and '06 and still have enough cabbage for a nice $300,000 home and a little left over for retirement.

 

Cadzilla for me.
