Anyone got $140,000 in spare change for me? (Yes, I know, it *lists* for $118,000, but try to buy one for that from a dealer!)

probly some one of a kind multi million dollar concours winner... take your pick... there are a bunch of em..  

If I had to drive it?   I would build it.   I sure  wouldn't build one that looked like a plastic model car that got left in the oven till it melted a little tho..   Probly need to build two cars tho... one closed car and one roadster (not convertable, roadster).

After a very long thought, I would get this, and proceed to kill myself on the Nordschleife;)

Unlike some of you guys with unrealistic, lustful desires for flashy, big dollar super cars, MY needs are simple.

AMC Javelin...or the ultimate expression of that particular pony-car, the AMX.  Dark navy blue in color.

Or a two seat British sports car...such as a Triumph Spitfire or something similar.  A real classic.

Actually, "Dinan'izing" a Z8 would lower its value since they're all hand built by 4 guys, and limited production, and the fact that you have a 2 year waiting list...nope, just stock.  This is a remake of their 1955 507. If you love fine, rare things, the Z8 is the automotive equivalent of a Gutenberg bible.

My dream car is a 68 GTO, like the one I own.

BUT, the dream GTO would be a 68 Ram air 2 GTO.

The ram air 2 was the first year for the round port heads.

stock HP rating was 366HP. With a few mods back in the day it would easily make 450 horsepower. (this is the same motor as the Ram Air 4 for 69)

It would have to have an M22 rock crusher and 3.90 or 4.56 gears and limited slip.

It would be red with a black interior, with RAM AIRII on the hood scoops!

If you can find one they sell for more then 50 grand in restored condition, and since they run 10.75 to 1 compression, you need race gas....

But it would be HELLA fun!
