The car that I have wanted for at least the last 30 years is a mid 1980s Volvo 240 estate (technically, I guess that's a Volvo 245), with a V8 conversion. There used to be a company in New Jersey that did the swap.
I really want one, but can never justify it.

My best friend's dad had a C3 Corvette as a kid and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I'd still like one, but modernized.
I've wanted a Lotus Elise since I discovered them, and I test drove one in 2013 or 14 and it was only $27k, but the wrong color (  ) Then I ran out of funds and decided against it. Now they're mostly over $40k  Really want a Cobra kit car. |

The second one I sold was an absolute mechanical nightmare. IIRC, Ford ending up with it back as a Lemon, and it deserved to be. Electrical problems and ate the supercharger either once or twice - I don't remember. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Early 2000’s Viper GTS. When they were $40,000-$60,000 I couldn’t afford one. Now they $70,000-$100,000+. I could buy one now just fine but I just don’t think they’re really worth that much. Had always been on my list. Picked this one up last year ‘63 corvette is at the top of my list.

I've owned 35 Corvettes from 1955-2002, at least 20 TriFive Chevys including three Nomads, probably 20 VW bugs and 1 Karman Ghia, numerous musclecars, a few streetrods, but I've always wanted either a 1967 VW Doublecab pickup w/Safari windows, a Deuce lowboy roadster, or a 1965 Chevelle two door wagon. If I ever win a big lottery, I'm going to buy a Ferrari Enzo.
