If we are really talking only one car, it would be a steel, traditional-style, Deuce hiboy roadster with a Duval windshield, QC rear and some sort of V8/5 speed drive train. Any of these or something similar would be fine.

Hell yeah. If I had unlimited funds, it would be awesome sauce to have someone like Kendig do a Smokey and the Bandit T/A with a hellcat engine, Corvette like suspension, and I'd even stipulate airbags including canopy.

A Ford Maverick

Or is this a Maverick?

I am so confused, FORD IS SO RETARDED AND LAZY!

Pick a fucking original name next time.

Some kind of nice minivan and truck as well since I’ve got kids.

Generally I’d be down for any of the rare documented Group B Works units - preferably a later Evolution or E2. Really Moutons ‘81 Sanremo car, a Group 4 Quattro would be my first choice, but it’s not in private hands.

This is a documented 86 Delta S4 Rallye - Works Recce (pre-race driving the course) example. Didn’t sell at Bonhams Paris in ‘18 Prolly worth $800-1.2M. Toivonen’s 1986 Monte Carlo winning S4 sold last year for just short of $2M. I’d want a Recce, not a race winner, to drive - shit happens, as it did to John Dixon’s 959.

This right here. Although I'd want them to make a Targa for me. I had a 1969 911T Targa for a while... I wish I'd kept it.

Hmm, now that you mention it, I'd absolutely love a later RS200 E2.

It would probably kill me, but it'd be a fun way to go.

They did it because what they thought was their target market - young people - have no idea there had been another maverick. But their actual market turned out to be old people.

As for what car I'd buy, I really have no idea.

1972 DeTomaso Pantera. But with a 5.0l Coyote crammed in there.

I would simply buy a new truck. Same as I have, just new with a few more options.

The rest is saved for hookers and blow.

Build what you want. No lottery tickets required.

I'm a lifelong wrencher. The money I'd use for a "lottery car" would be a new shop capable of restorations of what I'd want to build and drive. A Leno type affair.

With lottery type winnings i could have well paid staff to wrench my dream cars for me, like Leno. I also like to travel, so I'm thinking a tricked out antique short bus toyhauler would be first on the slate. Something along these lines would be suitable:

Forward birthings/dining for four. Rear would be outside galley/gear compartments and dropout toy bay for ATV or bike. Rear bumper option for towing an economy car for short jaunts away from basecamp. That or my skiff. If it's a skiff in tow trip, the toy bay gets a bike or stout scooter for local scooting near base.

Yeah, I'd like another one of those.

Plus a late '80s-early'90s Ford 4X4 one ton single cab in Hunter Green, resto-modded with a Cummins and Allison.

Plus a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS in mahogany.

Plus a Black on black Porsche 930.

Plus a resto-modded '69 Plymouth Road Runner in white with black stripes and interior for when I need to carry more than one passenger.

And a big shop with a little loft apartment to keep everything in. Preferably on over a hundred acres.

But I haven't given it much thought.

I guess a bit depends on the size of the lotto.

In an ultimate world, I would not "own" it. I would have access to a fleet of maintained vehicles. At any given time, I could have several checked out available 24/7 at my personal garage - the rest could be reserved for use whenever and for however long I wanted. Drivers would also be available. They could also have staged pickup. So say I was going to CCW West. A diesel pusher with staged drivers would take me there, and an Earthroamer would be waiting at the turnoff.

If I wanted to drive an EV, I would have fully charged ones at regular intervals - fuck waiting for charging.

Honestly, first thing I'd probably do is find the very best example of the last gen Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, and then ship it to the largest, most competent Jeep/MOPAR dealer in the country and have em replace any and every wear item, to make it "as-new" as possible, and then make it my daily driver. At heart I'm a man of simple tastes.

I had a '63. Pearl White with suicide doors and green leather I bought for $250 back in '78 (I bought it from an old lady I did yard work for when I was 15.) I traded it for a '76 250 Bultaco that burned up on the bark dust of the apartment complex that my GF of the time lived in.

Have around 15 mustangs i would buy if i hit a modest lottery.

If it was billion plus stupid money I would start a fab shop to do stuff likd billet 4 rotors with a sequential gearbox into Super Performance GT40 chassis. 787b sounds in a road going GT40 ripping the fabric of time.
