What's the strangest car you've ever lusted after??

I have always wanted to hotrod an old jaguar Mark 9 and I just picked one up a few weeks ago and it will be this winters project. Thanks to Sodaturk for the photochop and this is what she will look like. Two tone black and burgundy is what we are after and the gray one is what she looks like.

 

I've had a total crush on the 84-85 CRX for a while now. They are deviously simple, beam in the back and torsion beams in the front. Even with that stone age stuff, the sub-2000# curb weight made them terrors in SCCA for a good long while.

I've been daydreaming about replacing the rear (non-powered) axle with a DeDion rear and throwing a motor in the trunk. I keep forcing myself to resist bringing a shell home until the Edsel is drivable.

 

The MK IX is a very nice car, the photoshop is really cool. That is going to be a tough chop but will look great when done. Had one years ago and still have all of the manuals for it.

 

Well I didn't exactly lust after it. I had it because I had to have a car.
Time 1967- place Okinawa, Car- 1960 Mazda 360 coupe- 21.7 cid V2 Progressive 2brl carb.
16 HP. AT- also avalible with 4spd.

 

Changes with the seasons, but right now it's one of these: (unless the bullet nose Studie is considered strange)

 

an Amphi boat car or a Boat Tailed Bugatti

 

Morris Minor Pickup.

 

I had the hots for the Scion Box the first year they came out. .
It'd be cool to put a engine out of a Pantera or Toronado in one.

 

One car on my oddball list.

 

thanks so much to whoever built this... it now haunts me in my dreams.

 

A Tatraplan. Rear-engined aluminum sidevalve aircooled V8. So goofy I'd like one.

 

This exact car which is a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150C SS Figoni et Falaschi Teardrop seen here at the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance:

 

So do I. Oscar Meyer visited my Mom and Dad's Market once and took us for a ride... never forgotten it. Not much room inside tho because it was fitted the little dude.

I also would like to have a Tatra T603.

 

Wanted it. Got it. Still lustin after it,....its in my buddies garage coz my wife dont know yet. I think that only increases the lust factor though,.....its all I can think about. Its gonna drive me crazy......I am thinking it will almost be worth the fight to tell her. At least if she kicks me outta the house I can tinker with it.

1958 Edsel Ranger 2dr hardtop.

 

The Bizzarrini P538

 

I'd still take a clean fairmont 2 dr. sedan.

 

lusting after a Talbot-Lago is strange??!!

 

Prob a corvair!!!!!! Not saying that they are strange but that would be the strangest for me

 

It would have to be a Facel Vega! 361 cu. in., 365 hp Chrysler V8 with a 3-speed torque-flight trans! I had a chance to buy one when I was a youngster with some front end damage, but never followed up on it. Now they bring 6-figures!

 

I'd like to have another mid-60's Checker Marathon. My dad bought one new in 1965, and by the time I was old enough to drive it was mine TO drive. I hated it at the time, but would love to have another one now!

 

I 2nd this one

I would have to say:

Innocenti Mini...cousin of the British Mini, but made in the Innocenti Lambretta factories in Italy.

1985 VW Golf 4dr. I had one of these when I met my wife. If I could find the original one we had I'd buy it in a heart beat.

1971 MGB....dad used to rally one before my brother was born in 1974.

1977 Volvo 164E....I grew up in one of these. My mom drove us everywhere. And my father beat the crap out of me when I broke the signal switch while messing around in the car when I was 5.

 

A 1961 Dodge Pheonix

 

Mine would be a Jeep FC150 or FC170.

 

Velorex.....

 

Well , after i finish my 55's , i want to do a 5 window .... But as for something odd ball ? Well its in no way shape or form HAMB Friendly . But lately ive been finding myself wanting to build something different . I want to take a short bus , sling a set of 2.5 rockwells under it with some big flotation tires of some sort.... DOnt ask me why , i just want to do it.

 

A 1933 Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow.

 

Morgan Super Sport three wheeler! (I hear they're gonna make them again.)

 

funny how one fella wants one and other use them as daily drivers... taken last week... I lust after many, many, many strange vehicles, and normal ones too!
