Thumbs up Whats your favorite car ever?

If I were to ever win the lotto, I'd have a 67' Corvette but fitted this way:

-Forest green w/white "skunk stripe"
-Forest green interior (leather)
-C6 drivetrain/suspension
-383 stroker
-Vortech S/C
-4.10 gears
-63' Gran Sport headlight conversion w/HIDs
-triple tail light conversion, very cool IMO (LEDs though)
-Halibrand rims (era correct)

FWIW, my other "classic" cars would be a 62' Belair "bubbletop", red on red w/409/409 hp, 70' Chevelle SS454 green w/white stripes, 65' GTO hardtop in that sweet gold w/white interior and finally a 65' Riveria GS in either silver or black.

My favorite, after the Crossfire, was a 1988 Chrysler Conquest. Yes, it was really a Mitsubishi Starion, but it was really fun to drive.

I'm impressed!

I guess my favorite is an E-type, but I don't even fit well enough to drive, so I'm not sure if that counts.

Damn Bullseye, the only "cool" car that I've owned in the past was a modded 87' Grand National that ran 12's w/120K on the original motor/trans and a "well built" 406 s/b powered 78' Caprice Classic 2 door that ran 12's as well, ah those were the days!

The GNX would be on my "classical" list. I am huge GN fan. Not bad for 120k, What happen to the GN? You still have it? I missed my chance to pick one up cheap. A few years back when I was still in highschool, 87 GN had 47k on it and I was getting for 7800. The body was about a 7.5-8 but otherwise great shape. It sucks being a kid in highschool making 7 bux an hour lol. Who would have though 2 short years later i would be making almost 30 an hour. Everything in life is timing. I bet no one expected the caprice.

Ya, I really miss my M3, but I won't be able to afford one till I'm done with law school. Thanks to all my car owning and that job, I'm two years behind what I should be in my school life. I should already have my BA, but I decided to leave the high life for two years instead spending everything on cars. Was it fun? Hell yes. Do I regret it? Not really Would I do the same if I could do it over again? Definitely not. I would have over 50k cash in my bank, have a 2000 Honda Civic Si paid in full. And own a 2003 cobra outright. Still it was fun. 30 cars and counting.

My favorite car-- was never a production car unfortunately. The "Buick Blackhawk" was a concept but it did have a movie appearance in Bad Boys II, I found this out late one evening while flipping channels on the Tube. If you have never heard of it, just Google it. I am sure you will get some hits.

E-type gets my classic vote, either that or M-B SEL w/ Gull wings. For newer cars, the ME-412 is the coolest, too bad it wasn't made etiher.
