    What is your bucket list car or cars? I have a few;
    33-34 Ford coupe
    56-57 Chrysler or Dodge
    51-53 Hudson
    37-38 Chevy coupe
    40-41 Willys coupe or pick up
    The 57 Chevy I have now wasn't a bucket list car when I bought it. . . . But I love it!
    The roadster was/is a bucket list car, nothing like driving an open car.

    I've got a 72 chevelle ss project sitting at my pole barn!

    A nicely done t-bucket would be on my list. No pun intended.

    An impala SS would as well. Red. 60s.

    And a suicide door Lincoln, 65. Murdered out, black on black on black.

    Over the years my bucket list changed because I built pretty much all of them. The only one left is a 56 Chevy nomad.

    I bought my bucket list cars years ago but sold them off because I couldn't afford to build them. Now I want them back but Can't afford to buy them.

    @DDDenny that 55 of @alfin32 is wicked cool. Have seen it a few times, understated and devoid of all geegaws. Just. Plain. Cool!!

  15. Mine are a OT 67 GTO 400-4spd ( a clone would be fine) and a 32 roadster fenders or not, both just drivers. Not necessarily in that order. Not going to get either so they are more fantasy than anything because my pockets aren't that deep, so I'll just keep the one I've had for the last 42 years. Mitch

    1957-60 Ford F100. Finding a half decent starter is getting a little more difficult but still attainable for reasonable cost. For me it's the room to put it somewhere.

    Build a "mild" short-ish wheelbase FED from the ground up (parts gathering continues and plan to begin construction soon)

    Mid-60's Chevelle station wagon with good suspension and some creature comforts for a daily driver and tow vehicle for the FED

    Build another T-roadster, but with some resemblance of practicality this time.

    '34 coupe in the "Rolling Bones" style (probably never happen though....$$$$$)
