Oh man - WAY too many on my list. My '71 Mach 1 definitely one of them, but I guess the top of the list would have to be:

1967-73 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Spyder. I'd even be happy with the Miami Vice kit car (Corvette) version.

Continuing along the lines of Ferraris: F355, F40, Testarossa, GTO (either, but prefer the '80s version), 308/328/348 GTS, even a Modial would be awesome.

I also love wide body Porsches. My ultimate 911 would be this one:

I'm not opposed to a slant-nose cabriolet, either

A 993 GT-2 would be nice.

Then there are cars like the Porsche 928, Porsche 944, Lotus Espirit, McLaren F1, Vector W2, Lamborghini Countach, and my all-time favorite TV car: Coyote X

Closer to reality, I'd love to have another Fox-body Mustang, either as an SVO or Saleen:

My ultimate Fox-body would involve wide-body fenders, along with the meat to hide under them powered by a Coyote 5.0

But, I guess I'll just settle with what I have:

My kid sent me a message last night. He's 12. He said for his first car he wants a 69 Mustang 😁
 
Now THAT is my true dream car (since I was probably 12), 1970 Chevelle SS, but with a 454 in it. 😜
My 4th car was a '67 Chevelle SS. Not a bad car, but it handled like a boat.
 
You didn't say you wanted to shoot it! 😂

I've actually looked into buying tanks years ago joking around with a friend of mine. They plug the barrel and remove the firing pin 😭
Doesn't surprise me that they don't want the general public with a full functioning tank after the killdozer incident.
I think if everyone drove tanks, no one would EVER cut someone off.
The fear of getting blown to hell by the guy next to you might keep ppl off their cell phones too.
You can park wherever you want.. no one can tow them... 🤣
Prob cut down on speeding too! 👍
I take it you’ve never tried to drink and weld at the same time 🤣
I welded my beer can to my hood. I had to unbolt the hood to finish drinking it. 🤣

I had a 1970 Chevelle Malibu in HS. Drove it to college my 1st year. Built 350/TH350, converted console shifter like an SS. I took the column shifter out & put a GM OEM console shifter from a wrecked 70 Monte Carlo. I've been lucky enough to own a bunch of cool rides. The Monte Carlo was a family car- I wrecked it. I bought the 70 Chevelle for $700 when I was in 11th grade. It was rough & barely ran. Swapped all the stuff to it from the MC. Motor/trans, disc brakes, interior, rear end, etc. I sold all the parts I pulled from the Chevelle for $700. The MC had a built 350, double hump heads, lumpy cam, flat tops, aluminum intake, headers, etc, TH350 shift kit. Drove the Chevelle for years- wanted to SS convert it. Sold it for $$$$ to put a down payment on my home.

That Monte makes me happy! I always loved that body and the black is just sexy! 😎
When I was growing up, the family business was a salvage yard. I have literally owned thousands of cars.
I drove a John Deere 644 loader at age 9. That was the first thing I ever drove.
I learned to drive a car in a 70 Cutlass 442 convertible. It was blue and white with white top and interior. 455, TH400 floor shift, power everything.
Like most cars, we sold it quickly... ☹️
This one was sold to my neighbor. He kept that car for at least 20 years. Might have it still.❤️,

The Monte Carlo was a beautiful car. Almost show quality. It was a derelict & my uncle saved it. It originally was sandlewood gold/gold ext/int, he rebuilt the trans & painted it black. So it was unique. My brother drove it for couple years then me. The motor went out & my dad had it built. 30 over, 3 angle valve job, cam, etc. So all the sandlewood int went perfect in the Chevelle, which also happened to be sandlewood ext/int. Had about 360hp, fun car to drive.
 
fixed it for you :hehe:
Actually, not entirely true - not that I even care. It was a purpose-built chassis with a Porsche 914 turbo-4 and a McLaren 'Marauder' kit body (not a Manta Montage). Mine would definitely have a Coyote 5.0 or LS powerplant. Don't hate on my dreams! :stick:
 
Another ‘68 Riv GS is definitely on the list.. Will definitely sport a pair of Precision hair dryer’s, big inch LSx, Mast/HED heads, dry sump, a nasty Tick Performance T-56 Magnum, Monster Twin Disc, and Quick Performance 40spline 9” Ford.. My last one was OG Big Block Buford, but this one would get with the times(ish)..

For RC's i already own some of my dream RC cars and trucks like the XO-1, Felony, Slash 4x4 Ultimate and X-Maxx. Although i still want to own one of these someday.

A Losi 5IVE-T 2.0 in the Blue color way. I got to see one in person at my local track 3 years ago in December 2021.

If i do get one i'll drive bone stock as a gasser for awhile then convert it to Electric with 12S Hobbywing Max 4\70125 560kv combo.

I saw one of these at the Portland swap meet in Oregon for $1,000 a few years ago. I think they are pretty cool

If i ever get one of these trucks in the future i'll probably run it bone stock for a good time before converting to 12s electric.
