Your Dream Car
 
Post a photo of your DREAM CAR, the car you would own above all others if you were able to.

My dream car is the 1924 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost "Picadilly" roadster in white with brown leather trim (coachbuilder: Merrimac).

http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/3...imac5gw.th.jpg

The coachbuilder, Merrimac Body Company in Merrimac, MA, was one of several coachbuilders that supplied finished bodies for Rolls-Royce's manufacturing plant in the United States. I think the work Merrimac did for Rolls-Royce in the 1920s ranks as a legendary high point in the history of the motorcar.

Rolls-Royce's Silver Ghost motorcars, built from the 'teens through the 1920s, are nonpareil in the annals of luxury automobiles.

I've loved the Firebird since watching Knight Rider as a kid.

ETA: Sorry about the gigantic pic! Found a smaller one.

That is easy...
 
1970 Plymouth AAR 'Cuda (Preferably the last car which came off the production line, which was production number 666), I prefer either the Mopar/Cuda green (See below) or the evil as sin Gloss Black 'Cuda (One recently sold on the Jackson/Barrett auction for $210,000)

They had to be sold as road cars in order to be eligible for rallying - they were hotted up a bit for competition but basically they were the same as the ones you bought from showrooms - $20-25K now though :( Mind you, that's cheaper than a lot of the other cars on this thread! :laugh:

Here's a road-going one:

the Nova's and Chevelle's are also up on my list (Especially the 1969 Chevelle SS), deb even wants a Nova so that is cool in my book (I dont care for any newer model cars, though the 2006/2007 Dodge Challenger Concept Car is a throwback to the classic Challenger, Somemuch that they look identical to the 1970 Challengers with the awesome 'Cuda body style!)

BTFLCHLD 04-10-2006 01:48 PM

this car would be "tits!" :]

Totally :thumbsup: I would have some awesome exhaust on it. I just loooove when you're sittin' at a light and the car is just rumblin' and shakin'. It's all about the exhaust. :nod:

my much loved and missed Mother, She has "Cherry Bomb" glass packs added onto her 1976 Pontiac Trans-Am (454 Chevy V8) just to annoy those in other cars when she would sit at a stop light.

Her car looked similar to the one below (With the "Honeycomb" wheels and front grill) but her TA (Which she said meant "Tits & Ass"...Because when she would get pulled over for the "occassional" speeding ticket, she would tempt the officer with a lil' look of the "T" and her "A" wouldnt never get a ticket just a warning!) was a golden yellow color and not the lame "T-Top" version (She had a 1978 T-Top T.A. too along with the 1968 Camaro SS she bought)


estranged4life 04-10-2006 02:08 PM

Amen...

Kinda a funny story, but just last week the Batmobile broke down on the side of the highway going into OKC after the transmission line broke (I guess Batman forgot to ask Robin to check the thing before making the drive to OKC), So the OKC PD & the OHP "Viligently" guarded the "Caped Crusader's" car until it could be repaired :lol:

Eh, my dream car is one that is paid off. I can't really post a photo of that..

Wow, your mother sounds like she was really cool! :thumbsup: How old was she when she had these cars? My mom used to drive a 1972 Buick Skylark convertible and I used to take it to high school. Lets just say, I was quite popular! :)

estranged4life 04-10-2006 02:42 PM

She was in her...

mid 30's when she owned her muscle cars...She used to drive my oldest brother to high school in her '76 TA, And my brother's friends were interested to know "Who is that groovy chick that drove ya to school" (This occurred about 1979-1980) and he had to tell 'em "That's my Mom" :lol:

That car is smoking hot. A friend has one (of many actually) and you can recognize that engine's growl from a mile away.

My dad has a '71.... it's in pieces in the garage. :shocked: I'll have it restored when he's dead! (at least, that's the joke between us!)
