I've got lots of favourite designs, for different reasons, and I honestly couldn't pick any over any other (money notwithstanding - obviously with money involved I'd pick the most valuable of the lot): '49-'51 Mercury, '49-'51 Ford, Volvo 1800ES, '69-'70 fastback Mustang, '67-'68 Cougar, '83-'86 T-Bird, '87-'88 Cougar, any second-gen Firebird but prefer pre '79, 84-92 Mark VII, '92-'04 Caddy STS, '05-'09 Dodge Magnum, any two-door Maverick, almost any two-door wagon (including Pinto and Vega)... I could go on for days...

Yeah Im with you. Way too many to choose. I have a problem with looking at cars and switching everything around to the way I want it. Just makes me want it more so I can build it my way.
Speaking of which.... I found a CLEAN Fairmont when I traded my rims. Looks like it is an older persons car (huge bugshield on front), so I think it would be low miles.

If I could pick any ONE car and that was the only car I could ever own...forever...it would be one of those. Hands down. But it would be the SSJ. Ram-air supercharged 420 CI straight-8 FTMFW!!!!!!! Somewhere I even read theyll do 0-60 in like 10 seconds. hellllloooo racing full-size SUVs and stuff :hick:

I like the 60's Sunbeam Tigers just because they don't have the hype that follows the Shelby Cobras.

At a price tag of $500,000 - $2,000,000, you might be a little hesitant to mess up your Deusy!

Oh I know they're UUUPPP there. Im not talkin launchin the thing haha. Okay at the VERY least I'd definitely run the exhaust wide open I'll compromise with that and save the *spirited* driving for the kitty-cat. :hick:
I just couldnt help but think of that when I found out the power those things have. Just imagine one of those sitting at a stoplight brakestanding roaring like the end of the world. If that's not badass I dont know WHAT is.

Let me see if I can get some pics of my uncles '30.
Its on HIS 2nd build now. All Steel body, none of that 'glass cheating .
I am in the will for it, second in line though. I only get it if his son is not able to take it or doesnt want it at the time. Just for him to consider me is more value than the car to me. We are not blood but he is more of an Uncle than almost all of my legal ones.

My all time favorite car, Ferrari F40 (Last Enzo car) this is the way a super car should be made. No radio, no ABS, no traction control, not even door handles just pull cords. The windows are done up like on race cars, this is the car I would do anything to drive.

I like a lot of different kinds of cars so this could be a long list! I always liked mid-60's Fairlanes. In red... (http://www.rickerwin.net/_wizardimages/1966%20Fairlane%20GTA%20Finsihed.jpg) My favorite car of all time probably, '69 Chevelle. (http://www.chevelles.com/feature/january2004_1024.jpg) And I like vintage model A hot rods. Bonus points for steel wheels, flat paint, scallops, and whitewalls. (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/192/459302864_b84802b9a6.jpg?v=0) The Buick GN's were ahead of their time: (http://www.fquick.com/images/articles/2621.jpg) And the farm boy in me has me longing to own a nice example one of these someday. Best looking Ford trucks ever IMO. Growing up we had a 3/4 ton 4x4 one this same color combo for our farm truck...I still have it but it is very rough. (http://image.4wheeloffroad.com/f/chris_clark2002/9194070+w450+h338+cr0+re1+ar1/1978-ford-f-250-pickup-1.jpg) I'm not big on supercars at all or Porsches, other than that I'm open to about anything.

WANT!!!
Ill see if I can scan some old pics of the first build. And when he got it.
See where I get it from now? Not even blood related and its in my blood because of him. Think he was dropping gas in my bottles as a baby...
Car is badass. I drove it ONCE. After the accident his insurance made him sign that he was the only person to drive it, I think emergency situations are the only acceptations. He just bought a Chopper too. Dont think Ill get to drive that....
Im sure Ill get flamed for this but the new Civics... 2 door in black, the VTEC ones with the smoked headlights, I dont know why but they look decent to me. If I had to own a puppiesanese MPG car I wouldnt mind one of those. I would have 100s of cars before that one in my list

Another car from the GM Family is a Aero Monte Carlo, with the bubble window.
I always wondered if that was a Camaro rear glass? I dont thing it is but I wonder if you could cut a Camaros glass to fit since Im sure replacements dont exist. Ill have to look closer and in more detail.

Nope, its different Camaro is longer and curved. Good luck EVER finding a replacement for cheap if it gets broken.

I was always a big SHO buff after I got out of high school.
I used to have a 91 MTX, that was the most fun four door I have ever owned. (http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/jeremy-prine-ford-taurus-sho-turbo.jpg)
I had a Gen 3 SHO too. Was a little fun once i put the exhaust on, people would look at it and ask how I made it sound like it had a V8. (http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/1833/3161/29581580001_large.jpg)

560 SECs have a great design, and they're built like a tank. I looked at one on a car lot, and I couldn't believe how solid and heavy the doors were.
