If you could have any car in the world, what would it be? I mean anything from and original Barris car to WHATEVER! Mine..............I'll have to think about that one!
its always been a grungy all old model-A roadster with a flathead...but lately i've been thinking about how bad i want an all aluminum track T (27)...guess i'll finish the grungy roadster now and build the T too...why not....oh and i always thought i wanted a full cvustom 37 ford coupe and i got a start on that one too...even though these 3 are within reach in a reasonable amount of time...im sure my wants won't be full filled when i get them done...but those 3 are my tops for now zach
a 32 five window, with a 392 hemi and a 4 speed...painted HOK pagan gold over HOK orion silver, white roll and pleat interior...fenderless....ummmmm, yeah i think thats it.
I really want the Mike Sullivan Fiat AA/FA. The 2nd version which was painted White with Blue panels. I have many magazines and original photos from that 70-74 era with his Fiats and the different paint jobs. Mercury Bill, a friend of mine has an original 64 289 Cobra and just bought a 65 289 Cobra for 175,000. I guess you can't have to many real Cobras.

Not very trad, but joining the Formula SAE team at school has made me think this up... All aluminum track T, bout an inch off the ground, tube ch***is, fully independent suspension (hand build, no chrome) slicks all around, narly super/turbo charged inliner, 4 or 6 cyl. sequencial 5/6 spd. with ****erfly shifter, quickchange rear. kind of an old meets new indycar style autocross *** kicker. Thats just the most recent dream, there have been too many to remember and will be many more.
a 289 Cobra, wait an Austin Healey 100m with a blower, oh,oh, a fenderless blown ardun 32 roadster in black....maybe a 37 Cord 812 Sport Convertable.. Why do you have to ask such hard questions?!!!
[ QUOTE ] Wow Nasty flash backs from that subject line. mike [/ QUOTE ] Just what I was thinking cword. The English is a little better this time around
Tingler that's just way out there man. I don't think I ever thought about it. I thought I was building my dream in the '53 but now I'm bored with it. Stalled project a bad thing. I like '33s and '34s real well (Fords), but the car I really miss is the '55 Victoria the wife and I had in high School. It wasn't a crown vic, just the 2 door hardtop. I would keep the 312 but I would loose the whole race vibe. Get it down in the dirt, black satin (not flat) trim intact only gloss black instead of shiney silver. Red tuck'n'roll (narrow pleats) a set of magnesium wheels they were called Indys 500s and put out by a company called Speed Wheel. Now I'm dreamin' I can't imagine it ever happening, not enough time or money left.
I'm not very original or creative...a 32 roadster with a early hemi. I will live to see this someday...I hope
OR......... except I would put the stock 32 headlights back on. <font color="red"> I will OWN one of these one day. I have my Roadster and the 40 coupe. I NEED a 3W to keep them from being lonely. </font>
Gotta be DrJs pimped out Rolls Royce that impressed HotRodAngel into coming back and commenting on it hundreds of times over like 15 pages... (Gotta dig the Lancia Stratos btw; the closest thing to a Apache chopper on the road... )
Any 32 fenderless 3 window coupe with a good flattie a rumble seat & 3 ******s in it with a lb of killer weed each!! JimV PS oh yeah, a glove box full of money would also be nice!!lol
Wow, tough question... For the cheeseball factor, I'd say that god-awful Charlies Angel's custom conversion van that did the World of Wheels circuit in the 70's For the pure extremity of American car design, I'd say a 1958 Buick For the just too funny factor, the weinermobile That being said... I wouldn't part with Faye for any of them. Stacey
