In the late 1960's and early 70's, I was in my teenage years. At that time I became an enthusiast of cars, fast cars. I read a majority of magazines every month pertaining to sports cars and the such, like Car and Driver, Road and Track, etc, and lusted after a wide range of vehicles.

Fast forward to today, I still lust after a lot of those cars from my teenage years. Unfortunately, funds are the limiting factor to the ownership of said cars. I have an 86.5 928S, but there are so many more cars I wish I owned. So here's my question, if you won a big lottery today (over 100 million), what cars, from the past, would you buy to put in you stable. Below is a list of what would be my most sought after cars.

And btw, this is just cars, don't let me get started on motorcycles.

 

Nee,

You got a few of mine, but the year of the camaro was wrong.


Datsun 240z:
any year

Ferrari:
308 (mid 80s?)

Ford:

Shelby GT500
1973 Mustang (351 Cleveland engine)



GM:
1967 Camaro

Jaguar:
E-type (any year)

Porsche:
Speedster (1955?)
and my car

 

this list could go be quite large... how about an orginal Carol Shelby Cobra?

BTW- it seems a lot goys here have owned 240Z's. Before I got into Porsches, I was a Z man. My first was a 1972 240Z that I still have very fond memories of. I've owned every Z from the 240 -280zx in multiples (maybe 12 cars over the years) and while under powered, they are still a soft spot for me and a car that I will own agian. I'm glad to see that a few here have also experienced such a great little car.

 

Detomaso pantera
Ferrari 308 gtb
BMW 850 csi
Renault 5 turbo
68 mustang Restomod
Plymouth 340 cuda
96 911 turbo coupe

 

As I said, the list is off the top of my head. But a 429 Cobra, definitely. As well as these additions:

DeTomaso Pantera GTS
Bricklin
Jensen Interceptor (@1976)
Delorean DMC

 

nee.dragger, my infatuation started the same way. At 12, but in the early 80's. I would remember every tire and wheel size for every car. Down to the j,jj, etc. Still don't know what jj is on a wheel. P-cars were always my favorite. Even at 13 I was trying to figure out how I could start cheap and work myself up to a 911 by the time I could drive.

MY DREAM GARAGE

 

Yup, Shelby Cobra at the top of the list. Followed by
'64 Pontiac GTO Convertible
'69 TransAm
'33 Ford Pickup done "resto rod" style with a tricked out flathead
Hemi `Cuda
I want my old '70 Firebird Formula 400 back.

 

1959 Thunderbird

 

Mike,
I have a '71 240Z that my Dad bought brand new! However, for me I have always wanted a '69 Dodge Charger and yes I am a Dukes of Hazzard fan can you tell!!!!!!!!

 

Several cars previously mentioned would be on my list but since you said $100 million+, a 917K with Gulf/Wyer paint scheme would be on the top of mine. A McLaren F1 GTR would be in the top 5. Thanks for the detour into fantasy land.

 

Oh man, yeah, how can anyone forget about a 917? Also a 1964 904GTS is one you have to own.
