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

I'd go hire Barris to do something REALLY crazy.

 

Be careful what you wish for. Have you seen some of the goofy ass shit to come from his shop lately?

 

although i work on and drive many rods and muscle cars a gt 40 would be good for me . i can actually say i have my dream car . 1970 tripple black shaker sixpack 4 speed cuda and an extra . as for hot rods im compiling parts for a two seater super modified with an indy big car twist .c

 

Brookville 32 highboy roadster, with a 427 ford SOHC and 5 speed.

 

Jim busby coupe, 3wlarry coupe, vic sr.'s 32 roadster, deuce_roadsters cars(all of them), american graffiti coupe and 55 chevy, the little deuce coupe, and loudpedals 31 roadster! I would be in heaven with those cars!

 

Ha Ha Ha.............you do not want to know......its best left not said.......Littleman..

It about money..personal drive/passion..lack of money which can lead to innovation if you want it bad enough....ect.

 

At this point in my life, finish the other project 40 cpe I have and my 57 FI BelAIR--would probably hire someone to come here and help--assist me with the assembly and build--that's about it--OH and maybe the new 600+H.P Vette

 

...hahaha...I'd buy my coupe back and install a SCOT blown Ardun flathead...

 

for me I would love to have a blown HEMI willys coupe
or a altered wheelbase dodge or plymouth

 

Black '33 coupe with Pontiac and hydro like Desatoff's.
Jade green '50 Ford convertible mild custom with nailhead.
White over gold '53 Studebaker with 390 Cad and T85 with overdrive.
White '55 C300 Chrysler funny car with NASCAR suspension, rollcage, big 4-wheel disc brakes, Donovan 417 with twin Holset turbos, Jericho trans and Strange 9" rear.
Red over white '56 Rambler with a built AMC 327 with 2-4s and twin Paxtons.
And a few that haven't occurred to me because I don't think this far outside the box very often.

 

41 Ford coupe tail dragger.Early Caddy or Olds power.

 

I don't think I would build anything... I would just buy historical cars and drive the shit out
of them... Plus I would have a huge garage on my own island in Tahiti.

thats if Money was not an issue.

 

I'd like to build a chassis to eliminate the air ride on my car, and have it set lower for my son & I. And build a convertable 1st gen Nova for the wife and daughter

OH, and a 48, 49 COE/ RV of some sort, with Air Ride

 

Live Wire II

 

id by this and a case of bud light

 

you could just have LIVE WIRE 1 ...if money wasn't an issue...

 

Easy... 33-36 Willys coupe with a blown 427 cammer.

 

find my '36 3 window buy it back, do a mlld chop by some one who knows what he is doing and a early hemi......

 

in this order:

Finish the four that are holed up in the shop. '32 5w, '32 2dr, '32 roadster, '38 Deluxe coupe. Oh yea, a new Z06 Vette for a winter car.

I'm partial to '59 Pontiacs, I'd be happy with a mild custom, lowered, shaved, factory style buckets, console, 389 with tri-power and 4-speed. Candy paint with flaked top. Would be a Star Chief or Bonneville with the wide taillights. And it would probably be either a 4-door hardtop (maybe converted to 2-door) or the 2-door post sedan. '59s just natually look pissed off from the front, but in a good way.

Of course if money was no option there'd be a '31 A coupe next to it, fenderless with a chop and channel and some oddball motor that makes people scratch their heads. Studebaker maybe.

 

I am really obsessed with the mooneyham and sharp 554 coupe, so I would probably build a clone to that. a 32 5 window with a really hard chop and a six carb 392 hemi adapted to a muncie and quickchange. That is of course if money was not an option.

 

If money was not a issue I would sell all my car stuff an walk away I enjoy the struggle .My 2 cents

 

the 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery I once owned !

 

I'm driving mine. I'd like to get my wife a 57 Chevy convertable like she had when she was 16. Then I would have her daily driver (85 300zx) totally restored for her. She loves her z car. I like it too, it been paid for for years and years.

Like I told the kid, "Your music's not too loud, it just sucks and so does OKC!"

 

It's not traditional, but if money were no object I'd build a pro-mod '95 Lincoln Mark VIII. 820 CID Kaase mated to a Liberty 5-speed.

If money was no object Id love to quit my job and build hot rods full time for myself and friends and family . Id also inlist rollin bones, Dave lane and a few others to build a couple of traditional rides as well .

 

I found out many years ago ... that money is no object ... no matter how well off or how poor you are. If you have determination ... you will find a way to get the car you REALLY want. I worked two jobs ( sometimes three ) ... most of my life.

I now have the two cars I always wanted.





The 32 3W is almost finished and I am satisfied with the two cars I have.

I do think about a few other cars every now and then ... but the truth is ... any more cars than two ... and the quality of the car relationship goes down ... at least for me. I have had 3 / 4 / 5 hobby project cars before at one time and it just gets to be too much ... at least for me.

I really like 57 Ford 300's ... like this one



I also like a nose up, nasty 40/41 Willys coupe.

But all in all ... I have the cars I want

EDITED ... new photo

I would go completely crazy and have about 100 different cars and hot rods, because money was no problem. I would star with a Duesenberg and end with atleast one Shelby Cobra. I would make Jay Leno look like a rookie. LOL
