If money wasn't an issue, wot kind of rod would you build?

I didn't know there were any Ford guys in Kingston!

If money was no object, I wouldn't waste my time building anymore but go out and buy the finest duesenberg I could find and then get a paper route for a few weeks and use it on it just to screw with people's mind.

Otherwise I would have said something from Brookville but that still might be a reality yet. All depends on what happens the next couple of years in the stock market and if I sell the farm. I'm serious if I sell the farm.

 

I would say a clone of Project X....not the new version. no hood with the blower.

 

If money was no problem, Bill Gates type money..hmmm...Buhgatti Royale? Too many choices!

 

money no object? id build my 31 essex.

 

i'd have a Moal car built....

 

I would own this, 6.8million dollar's bid no sale mecum auto auction.

 

33 ford!!!


...and a bonneville/dry lakes competition coup and streamliner class race car.
and if I got really good...
I'd build a 1947 Roswell...

 

mine would be a 59 buick le sabre station wagon, all original chrome, no mods, lowered, a late model drive train with a overdrive tranny and a/c with a custom roof rack for luggage and it would be the family car for summer vacations and the dogs would be in the cargo area since the luggage would be on the roof

 

a bunch of different blown hemi powered hot rods of every style

 

I didnt count them all but sure sounds like an all steel 41 Willys coupe with a blown Hemi is the "if I had the money" dream car for this thread. I guess I am a lucky guy to have one.........
Its been my dream car for as long as I can remember, and money is a big issue with me but, you only live once in this material world we live in.

 

exact replica of the 32 ford coupe in American Graffitti.

 

A full fendered 32 Ford Roadster with a 426 Hemi! Also the 39 Standard coupe I have now. Also every car for sale on the HAMB and the HAMB guys to build them for me!

 

I've got another one to add...

A '28 Willys Whippet Roadster, altered style, set back injected Boss 429, 4spd, 9 inch... Slicks, nose in the air, spindle mounts, no fenders, full tube frame with cage, hide a radiator in the back incase I ever get the need to terrorize the streets... And then top it off with a wild paint job, and a cool name... I can see it now...

 

milners coupe no doubt about it,,, sat through the movie 30 times when it was in the theater,,,that car is the ,,,, well you know,,

 

\

 

The Merc from the movie Cobra!

Ok...that was a joke. I guess for me it would be a traditional 32 Ford highboy roadster with a flathead.

 

I might kill for it too, a beauty for sure
Peace,,,Moosie

 

isnt that the latest car from Pinkees ?

 

1. finish the B-59 (with some mild chop this time)

2. a full-fendered circa '46 full-custom, like the aeroplane-inspired streamlined jobs they penned around WWII, something like this (but with a much more 'coupe'y greenhouse) :



or the Tucker Torpedo prototype (w/ central steering & movable fenders).

 

With personal mods.......

 

I too have watched and studied AG since i was a child. AG is the best all time movie ever made in my opinion.

 

35 ford 3 window

 

Wouldn't be a rod at all, chaparral 2-E continuation. Then finish my 32 r.p.u.,62 vette,55 belair conv, keep the nomad racecar !

 

I kind of want to build a 1953 Dodge Pickup with a 426 Max Wedge.

 

another idea... Altered wheel base '64 Chevelle, powered by a nitro guzzling blown and injected 401 AMC, backed by a Clutchflite trans, and a stout 8 lug Poncho rear.. 5 Spoke American Mags front and rear, white pearl paint, red flake lettering, with silver and gold leafing... Single bucket seat, red flake wheel, and a red flaked dash, nothing else aside from a chromed cage on the inside and some engine turned aluminium panels on the floor and door panels.. And I'd call it the WTF Flyer..

 

If money wasn't an issue I'd build my own re-creation of Jack Chrisman's 65 Comet. Just finding and buying a SOHC 427 is unreal nowadays!!!!

 

I have a 41 Willys I'm working on now but my first choice would be a perfect bodied steel 40 Willys coupe (probably the one pictured) then a chopped steel 32 5 window with slick black paint or the 3 window pictured. I have no reason to complain about what I have but finished cars would be great. Since I don't see a lot of money in my future, I guess I am as close to my dreams as I will get.

 

Yep evryyyyy show this thing went to it blew eveyone away! amazinng work they do!
