LS powered ND Miata. As close to stock looking as possible.
I’ve never really been a fan of supercars. An LS powered/restomodded 1960 Corvette. As far as paying homage to stupidity…if it was a big lottery win, I’d have a copy of The Last of the V8 Interceptors built…maybe two; one post-apocalypse to make the set. |

Raptor R, an older Bronco restomod, AMG C63, and an M925 with 4 door conversion, AC and nice comfy seats.

mine would be a frankencar
looks of a classic 60s or maybe 70s muscle car but with modern transmission, engine with more horsepower and better MPG, modern interior |

Jeep Scrambler - built well enough to play some and comfortable enough for daily use
Mercedes CLK-GTR |

I'd hire someone to find my Dad's 1957 Corvette and have it restored.
Also a Porsche 959 Gruppe B and a 1960s Ferrari Daytona. |

Quoted: Professionally-restored 1965-67 Jaguar E-type roadster. And a mechanic to ride along in the passenger seat to keep it running. View Quote I used to work on those for a customer that had some cash. At any one time he had 10-12 of them. He'd occasionally sell one here and there but mostly kept them. I did all of the mechanical work before they went off to the body and interior shops. They are beautiful and classy cars. ETA: An E-type would be my lottery car too...and a Ferrari of some type. |

Red 1987 Countach downdraft with a tan interior and rear wing. Without the lower side vents that started with the 1987 1/2 models. Yes, I've thought about this for 40 or so years!

Something with a 426 Hemi, factory, numbers matching to hold my garage floor down. Then an identical built mutt car with little relative value that I can actually drive.

4 ford GTs, mine will be gulf colors. Maybe one reverse gulf colors.
One for me, dad, and my brothers. |

Quoted: Yellow or Blue Lamborghini Aventador. Coolest looking car in the world IMO. I know it's not the fastest, I know it's not the most expensive, but I think it looks rather fantastic. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/467079/Lamborghini_Aventador_SVJ_Yellow-2814167.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/467079/lamborghini_aventador_svj_yellow_road_01-2814169.jpg View Quote Agreed. Nothing says you made it to the big time like driving a Lambo. |

For sunny weekend convertible tooling around, it would probably be a Z8. They're headed for BMW icon status and will rival, if not eclipse the 507 in their turn. Not that money would matter at that point, but concours examples are running $250K to $500K on BaT. We have one in this area that makes a rare appearance in town, it's just freakin' beautiful.
Attached File As a daily, it would have to be a 2022 Aston Martin Vantage. Smallest, lightest of their GTs, with a 500hp V-8, last of the manual six speeds and a manly but sumptuous interior. Attached File Speaking of this area, Sandpoint's Lost in the 50s comes up next weekend. Friday is a parade and street dance type-stuff, but Saturday is the roped-off downtown car show. They started it back up last year and it was awesome. The weather is supposed to be in the upper 80s and sunny again, and a friend says the car registration is already pushing out past the plan... LOTS of fuck you money here, and they roll their babies out just for this weekend. If you're in striking distance, these boys have some very cool stuff. If not, I'll probably take three or four dozen photos and do another thread on it. |

A British Racing Green Factory Five tribute to that is my next project car, as soon as I have room. |

I'd get one of those high end overlanding RVs and start driving around the country

I'm also sending my Miata to Flyin' Miata to have it spruced up and a V8 installed. |

Quoted: Sorry, I'm boring. Could maybe go for one of the classic Jaguars that's been through the whole update process and I seem to recall an outfit doing mods on Corvettes to give them a new body style that incorporated some classic car stylistic elements under some numerical designation that I'm thinking I'd like to take a closer look into if I had GFY money. Just for day trips or out for overnight kinds of things. Otherwise, probably be more interested in something like a Mercedes SUV or crossover suitable for travelling around the country while hauling gear and luggage in comfort. Probably a Mini Countryman for a grocery getter. View Quote The classic Jags are pretty. Got a great look at a beautiful E-Type as I was helping push it off of the street into a parking lot. |

I want a 1947 oldsmobile body set on a land rover frame and drivetrain. Then take it offroading and have everyone

Restomod Boss 302 Mustang for weekends and something like a supercharged Raptor daily.

2500 Suburban with a SFA or
The cleanest low mileage 5.4 Excursion I can find. Pull the engine, shoot it and replace it with a Godzilla engine. 5.4 because I'd feel bad doing that with the V10 or diesel. It would be setup for regular overlanding when I'm not at my Ted shack in Montana. 35's, selectable lockers, awning, winch,... Fairly minimal inside so I don't feel like I'm driving a camper around when home. Maybe just restomod my '01 Sub, Lord knows I've spent enough money on it so far. I would also get a Dirty 6er bicycle; I like my Rockhopper but it's just a bit too small for me. I don't think I'd go too crazy on guns. A few boring pistols (Glock 20, nice .22 revolver), one machine gun, one or two long range/hunting rifles. I'd buy a fucking shit load of ammo and a few suppressors though. |

I don't give a shit about cars. The one I have now gets me from A to B. That's all I need. If I win the lottery, I'm not wasting money on ridiculous cars. I might buy a military hummer though.

New Z06, built motor and twin turbos.
That'll be the DD. Next, I'll start shopping for my Garage cars.. GT3, F40, GT40 (all three generations) and hire a shop to build me an outlaw 10.5" car, and another shop to build me a Pro-touring 1968 Camaro. |

XKE Series II FHC, 1978 Porsche 930, Ford GT, 1975 Norton Interstate 850, 1951 Vincent Black Shadow, 1956 Ford Crown Victoria....need I go on?ETA: After further consideration, I'd ask my friend, Rick Dore to build me an Aquarius.

Probably a Porsche 917. A flawless reproduction with A/C would be dandy.
Then an elegant car of yesteryear like a Deusenberg or a Auburn speedster. |
