What are your dream cars?

1970 Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger Convertible

 

I already have my "Dream Car"!

 

That was my Grandfather's daily until the late 60s. He kept it as his backup until sometime in the 90s.

 

Used to be the MKIV Supra, but I've given up on that. Also a 2000GT, but that's never happening.

Otherwise, an old Crown MS75 hardtop, Nissan Z, 80 series Landcruiser...

I can't pick just one. If I won the lottery, I'd have a pole barn full of old Japanese vehicles.

Edited to add pictures.

2000GT:



Crown MS75

 

The truck is the vehicle I’ve always wanted, the Fj is the one I’ll never get rid of. The Fj is off for a seat swap in Kansas City.

My dream car is a 1994 Mitsubishi Montero, grey leather interior, white in color. Had one, gave it to a friend when their car broke down and really needed a replacement but couldn’t afford one. Nicest thing I’ve ever done that I’ve regretted ever since.

 

If those are out of stock one of these might do: Conquest Knight XV

 

How does the PW compare to the FJ and 4Runner off-roading?

 

BMW i8

 

An 80 series Land Cruiser(1995s were perfect looking imo) or a resto-modded K5 Blazer

 

To be honest, I’ve only used any of the three on forest service roads to get to Mountain bike trails. Some of the roads aren’t good, but actual off-road I couldn’t say.

The truck and I travel across the country for rides and races and is so good to sit in for long periods of time with the dogs in the back seat folded down so they have a platform. The 4Runner is my “in state” car and is much easier everywhere to drive except the highway. And the FJ sits in my garage and is used on occasion for going to places I don’t take the 4Runner. Especially, Colorado, already too many 4Runners there.

 

69 roadrunner, 71 cuda, 80-early 90s land rover defender, Mercedes benz g class suv , 80s land cruiser.

I do enjoy my 4runner quite a bit. So I guess its a dream to own it.

 

Don't have any dream cars but I do miss my Suzuki Gypsy from the 80s and Gen 2 Mitsubishi Pajero from the 90s.
Simple, effective, tremendous off-roaders, manual, 4x4, horrendous on road.
My current 5th gen feels like a Bentayga compared to these two.




I do like motorcycles though and like a few that I would eventually want.

 

Current dream car:

 

This post got me thinking last night. My Taco was pretty close to my dream truck, and the 4R is close too albeit in different ways. I think the more realizable dream is to live somewhere we can take better advantage of the 4R, and justifying modding it into my dream rig.

 

Back in the late 80's, this was my dream car.

 

Since i was a kid i always wanted a 1970 Trans Am Ram Air. I ended up getting a 97 TA WS6, was a POS. Lol. But not the same.

 

I've had motorcycles and I came to the conclusion I would kill my self if I kept riding.

Its just too hard to lay back.

 

I had an 83 T-Type Regal at one point. Obviously the little brother. LOL. But was still pretty fast.

 

Aston Martin One-77 for the grocery store.



Ford GT for the weekends.

 

I know the feeling.

 

I'd be pretty stoked on a '73 Chevy Caprice Estate Wagon:



Or a '77 Dodge Tradesman

 

I've been riding motorcycles for 40+ years, had my crazy fast inline 4-cylinder sportbikes with one-piece leathers. Now, not so much, and I've grown very fond of twins. Have a 2018 Triumph Street Twin (900cc parallel twin), 2018 Aprilia Dorsoduro (900cc v-twin), and a deposit down on a 2024 Moto Guzzi V7 Corsa (850cc v-twin, will be trading in the Triumph on that one, when it shows up at the dealer). My go-fast days are long behind me, and I've always told myself if I have to ride so defensively that I don't enjoy it anymore, that will be the time to quit...

 

1990 or 91 nissan 300zx twin turbo.
I'm a simple man.
Always really liked the taillights, and my dad had a 240 and 300 but had to sell when my ass was born lol

 

Too heavy. If I'm gonna drive all that weight around for a zombie apocalypse vehicle I'm looking for a half track

 

Man these were always sexy af, I remember I used to race with these in Gran Turismo as a kid. I still see a couple here around town.

I kinda want a bagged mk6 GTI:

 

Jensen Interceptor...with a modern Hellcat engine and transmission! And of course with the steering wheel on the left side...

 

My current dream vehicle:

 

Right!?
Yeah that game was good times eh

That's funny, I really wanted a Volkswagen Golf/Rabbit when I was as young chap.
You know what Volks I wanted the most, and still do:
Corrado!
and
Scirocco!

 

I had a G60 several years ago...

 

In these exact colors


The dream car that I could probably afford someday? Honda S2000. These came out right after I graduated college and I used to lust over them. The silver with red/black interior is sweeeeet... At the time I actually did buy an Acura RSX Type-S with the K20A2 engine that's only 1000 rpm shy of the screamer in the S2000 so I did get my rpm thrills.....

If I ever got one its would be a hard decisoin between the AP1 and AP2... AP1 is the more pure experience but the 2 would be a lot easier to live with.






When I was a kid, my dream cars where the 427 Cobra and Ferrari 250 GT California from Ferris Bueller. Both out of reach for mortals now...








But I have such eclectic tastes... Ive also thought it would be really fun for something different to get a war surplus genuine Willys Jeep MB, or an old Model T Ford.
