The worst design car thread got me thinking... plus I'm bored and it's Friday...

Most people would love to have many of the "popular" collector cars.

What odd/rare or "not considered collector" car do you lust after?

Here's one of mine:

1986 McLaren Capri

Volvo 1800es

R5 Carnage ...

not for the faint of heart!

1st - 60's Toyota Celica 2000 (all the sex of Italian - reliable as hell)

2nd - Mazda RX-3 (this car in stock form will demolish most)

3rd - Kawasaki HIII on a Spondon chassis (OK - not a car I know, BUT...)

If you're gonna dream, think ultra exotic...one of one.

- VW van with suby conversion or /6 conversion
- BMW 2002

I always wanted one of these......

Ever since my high school english teacher got one (she did not need to work...and get your minds out of the gutter -- she was in her late 40's!), a dino 246GTS Spyder...I loved the sound of that engine. Hers was yellow.

Her Lamborghini Miura (also yellow) was pretty cool too. She always drove them to school when the weather was nice...lots of us would arrive early and leave late to hear and look at those cars as she came and went -- and she liked to drive fast

The '70's were good

65 Pontica GTO and Ferrari 365 GTB/4 (Daytona Spyder) either or both.

I grew up in Florida. My first car was a 67 Pontiac Catalina, huge car I use to load up my friends and drive to the beach. The first time I went to Daytona, we parked on the beach and went for a walk, drinking a few beers and various other libations. When we returned to my car a 65 white GTO convertible with red interior had parked next to me. I almost pissed myself when I first saw it, absolutely stunning. That image has stuck in my head to this day.

I like the GTO also

Oh man!

I buy a Lotto ticket every week dreaming about building one of these.

Tatra T87 (gotta love a car with an aircooled V8 and a huge "BAT-FIN" out back!!!)

Doesn't get much better than this...

Andy,

We have very similar tastes in Beer, Music, Alpines and Red 914-6 3.6's!

Dan

Either one of these, or a split window bug.

I'd take this one in a pinch Oh and nice Ghibli Danny. Looks just like the one we've been restoring at werk

I want another Hillman Imp! Here is 1040cc's of rear engined Conventry Climax goodness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxkaVOxj3eU

Izzat a Merak or a Bora?

Nonetheless, if I'm gonna be payin' out the arse for Maserati maintenance, I might as well bend over for a Costin-Zagato:

Zat answer your question?

Hmm...and I was leaning toward "Merak". Guess I'm not up on my Italian jobs...kinda like the mo-mo's who come up to my Pantera at shows and ask "Delorean?" "Bricklin?"...

69 Lincoln continental convertible with suicide doors and white walls

I like Andy's selections!
here's one of my favorites: DKW Monza

Monica (french luxury brand)
