...what older/classic car would you love to own?

I have a few on my list but lately, I've been smitten by Duesenbergs. I'd LOOOVE to own a Duesenberg SJ like the one seen below but sadly, I doubt I'll ever see one, let alone own one. My friend has a huge soft spot for the 1938 Packard Super Eight and I can totally see where he's coming from but my God....look at this!

 

My knowledge of old/classics is very small, I wish I knew more, but from my own knowledge it would be a

F40

 

+1 on the Duesenberg SJ and F40, those cars are beautiful!

My list could go on and on, but these are just a few.

'65 Lincoln Continental 4-door convertible
Aston Martin DB5 ( original James Bond car in Goldfinger)
Mercedes-Benz 300SL
BMW M1
Porsche 356 Speedster

Not sure if its considered a "classic", but a McLaren F1 no doubt.

 

It all comes back to one car: the McLaren F1. I've wanted one since I was in middle school, when I first read about it. The unique seating configuration, the technology in the car and the all-around amazing performance for a street car just appeals to me. Mid-engined, naturally aspirated V12, RWD with a 6-speed manual.... LOVE IT. It has a surprising amount of practicality too - as practical as you can get with a hypercar like it. The epitome of it's time.

I would pay money just to see and sit in one in person. I still haven't seen one yet Just to see how far my desire for one goes - Mr. Bean was one of my favorite shows growing up and still is.... but when I found out that Rowan Atkinson wrecked his, I liked him a lot less. I have matured since then and forgiven him, but still.

If I were to ever be truly jealous of a car owner, it would be the Sultan of Brunei. He had something like 8 McLarens at one point of time (retail of about $1 million USD each back in the late 90's). Seriously dude.... you don't need that many. Donate me one

But lose the vinyl and give me the rally wheels.

 

I must say, I did see a 69 RS/SS in Hugger Orange with the black hockey stripes and hood louvers and it broke everyone's necks at the gas station it was at. Rally wheels. Houndstooth interior as well. Certainly got my attention, hearing a car louder than mine pulling up behind me. Paint looked better than my car's, even.

As far as actual classics go I'd like a 240Z. It's not exactly cost no object but I'd like one like this:



or a resto mod like this Cobra, sans that hood though edit: holy ginormous pic double edit: fail. i'll just link it.

^^^ this I would love to build a Datsun

 

Something old fully built by Chip Foose

 

one of these



EDIT: make that two of those... one fully original... and the other with a LS swap...

 

1)Ferrari 250GT or Ferrari 330 GTS
2)Mercedes-Benz 300SL

 

300SL or a Ferrari 250GT Spyder California (wah, wah, chicka-do-bah, oh yeahhhhh)

Others of interest, but not comparable to the above: Jag XK, Jag E Type, 59 Vette

 

 

I'd have to ultimately go with a 300SL Gullwing. I've loved this car from a long as I can remember.

 

i dont know if this is considered a classic but it is a 16 year old car now so ...



my favorite acura ... and one of my most favorite cars ever made

 

1.) '69 Camaro SS, fully resotred, most likely with a newer, FI LS motor, etc.
2.) Numerous Ferrari models from 1960-1969... 250 gt, 275 gtb, etc.

 

Money is no object
Koenigsegg CCX


Realistic
70 Chevelle LS6 Convertible

 

+1 on the Chevelle LS6

 

Not a big fan / dont know much of classic cars

with that said

1967 Ford Mustang GT500 "Eleanor"

 

I was checking out Auto Trader Classics and saw an ad for a amazing looking '91 Legend with a manual transmission. I'm really, really tempted to take a trip to see it.

Anyway, I'd be hard pressed to choose between a Hudson Hornet, Olds 442, Datsun 240Z, Mercedes 300SL and an E30 BMW.

Yeah, i realize its not a "classic" cause its technically a 2011, but its powered by an air cooled 993 engine and "features modern amenities such as a lightweight electric air conditioning system, Garmin Navigation system, ipod interface and even Bluetooth connectivity are also available in the Singer 911"

In my eyes, perfection.

 

SE30 for me, in Jota spec.

 

If money was no object I'd own warehouses and hangars full of 'em.

 

Yup - same for me. I would love to get one of these...best of both worlds.

 

Low-mileage 1991 NSX.

 

I'll forgot to add E28 M5 and E30 M3 to my list.

I would love to add this too:
Audi Auto Union D-Type V12, estimated cost $17M.

 

A few others....

- DeLorean; preferably an early VIN with grooved/gas flap hood
- BMW Z8
- 1963 Lincoln Continental sedan (black....of course)

 

If money was not an object I would like something along the line of this.

Nothing says badass like a mercury custom.

 

and



although i'd probably not even be able to fit in either of these two, i'd take them, that and an F40 of course

 

Too many cars to choose from but one car came to mind.

 

98 Supra
AM DB5 if you wanna talk classic-classic

 

Chevy Nomad...



I really want an original Morris Mini as well.

 

These were definitely near the top of my list
If I could I'd also want:
Toyota 2000GT
Honda S500
Austin Healey 3000
Lotus 7
Shelby Cobra

For muscle cars:
olds 442
challenger

probably more I can't think of

 

But not in carbon fiber......



Aventador....

 

Only older/classic cars fellas!

 

McLaren F1 is old enough...?


That'd be my vote...if I need to go older, I'd say the Ferrari F40.

 

1966 Chevy corvair wit a LS7
What i own now a 92 legend manual

 

Off the top of my head


- Aston Martin DB5
- Porsche 356 Speedster
- Jaguar E Type, Series 1

 

 

I'd be happy with a 356C:

 

BMW 328 Mille Miglia. Dream big!
