Hot Rods Just for fun, If you had dumb money to spend what on topic car or truck would you buy or build?

An Anglia, 49 merc, a woodie of some type.

 

My old 62 Corvette, I restored it (modified) chassis off, it took about 10 yrs with many NOS parts. Drove it about 1 mile showing the person that bought it. 1st picture as I bought it ($2500.) 2nd picture as I sold it ($8500.) 3rd picture as it looked in 1998. I saw it about 2010 it looked the same as 3rd pic.

LARGE early '30 3window coupe in jump in and drive condition

 

53


















53 Stude coupe and 57-58 Chrysler 300. And the Stude should have a later 289 w/blower.

 

I'd build a 59-60 Stude wagon with a 500 ci Caddy ....sort of a "later model Studillac"!

 

One of these:
With the correct Offy engine...

And if there's anything left, a 63 split window Corvette!

 

I'd build my avatar painted Schwinn Stingray blue, with blue tinted windows, with lots of chrome including the Olds rear end, powered by a blown 409 and a 4 speed.

 

I'd love to do a '51 kaiser Henry j. Can't find em anywhere, especially at an affordable price.
Saw this one in Colorado a few years back, always wanted one since.
Saw this one last September

 

I couldn't make up my mind........... until I saw this. I'm gonna go with Dave.
Of course, I'm likely to change my mind if anyone posts up something else I like.......

 

Staring at this thread with my buddy Jim Beam for the last hour. One car. All the money. 1962 Dart. Perfect.

 

Since I'm just dreaming, I'd like all my old beaters back and then top the list with a '33 Willys gasser built as radical as possible and still be streetable.

 

Yeah, I have about 20 red ones... All from Aurora..

 

First would be my version of the Dick Williams 27 T AMBR. After that it would be a big, big shop/garage with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette attached. Then it would be "Katy bar the door".

 

I already have two of my Bucket List cars(chopped '49 Merc, Chopped '33 Coupe)so it would have to be something un touchable.....Like Roth's Road Agent, Megacycle Transport, Druid Princess, Beatnik Bandit, Munster Coach(original not copy)Cadzilla, Boothill Express, Stone/Woods/Cook Willys, First Hotwheels/Snake Funnycar, Milner Deuce Coupe, California Kid. There's so many, lol

 

Dave, you made a great choice but... AJ's '64 Watson roadster is my dream.

 

Ridiculously large sedan (like a Pierce Arrow), Model A tub, or chopped and channeled Model A two-door.

 

If I could have any rod or custom, it'd be Harry's T. My dad grew up right across the road from Harry in Toledo and he was a friend to my grandpa, and my dad and brother as they got to their teen years and developed their own love of cars. Dad loved this car and rode in it more than a few times. I drew a picture of the car for dad when I was a young and budding artist, and it hung in his office until he died. Unfortunately mom threw it out when she was cleaning his stuff out after he passed.

@moriarty owned it at one time I believe he said, and for years my aunt, who ended up with her parent's house, had the original car show write up plaque in her garage just sittin there. Tried to track it down for Mark, but it's either been lost to time, or is buried in one of our piles of family barn stuff, so far yet to show itself.

Anyway, here's the car:

 

When I was a kid, it was in Ed's garage, when he lived in Maywood, and had piles of dirty clothes on top of it. I tried to get in it a few times, but he caught me. After that he kept it in one of his black trailers. It's always been one of my favorite Roth cars. But, the Druid Princess still has to be my favorite. I drew up some plans to build a Road Agent clone, with a few changes, and want to build a RUNNING Roth car. I grew up going to shows with Ed and Sally, so I spent a lot of time wiping down and sitting in his cars. WAY out of my price range now!

 

COOL...

 

Auburn Boat tail Speedster or v12 Caddy roadster, with golf club door. 6 chrome spoke wheels, crystal bourbon decanter and matching glasses.

 

With stupid $$$$$

I’d start stamping 35/6 ford 3ws
49/51 mercs
Divco milk trucks
Steel vette shells (just for the heck of it)
And start a retro school bus company
And maybe:
New 392 and flathead iron blocks

 

You mean a Sport Coupe with a canvas top?

 

I'd really have to think about this one but I assure you it'd be old enough to post on this forum

 

Hooked this one the other day ice fishing. She is soaking in evapo-rust as we speak.
Thinking a traditional build?
