Oh.....and as for me, I would finish my '65 Falcon sedan and the exact duplicate of my Grandfather's '29 A-V8 Roadster that he drove in high school.
1930/31 Model A with early 50's the later flathead. Styled for late 40's or mid 50's. 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe (moonshine hauler) 1941 Cadillac 1948 Ford Super Deluxe 4-door sedan 1950 Ford F-1 1951 Merc (like James Dean's) 1954 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria Hardtop 1957 Ford Thunderbird And though off topic.....I've always wanted a 1969 Dodge Charger painted like one of the early Dukes of Hazzard General Lee's as that's my favorite TV show. AND.....a few old tractors to put around the yard in.... Like a Ford 8n and a John Deere A (the tractor I've wanted since I was three when I got a John Deere A pedal tractor.)
1955 porsche 550 spyder (like james dean) for my fiance any early 1900s speedster 1954 buick special 1996 chevy impala ss (the last of the true impalas)
A '57 T-bird with a 427. '60 F-100 with a 390 Hemi-powered 69 Dodge Daytona (ok so its not exactly HAMB friendly) '66 Batmobile replica with FE power, without the dopey bat-stuff stuck all over it.
at least one Shelby Daytona Coupe....at least one Allard J2X...at least one early Ferrari V12, and at least one Ferrari GTO. Also...a Deusenburg of any year, and a Norton 850 Commando. Stock 32 Ford roadster, stock 32 Ford 3w. 57 Vette 250hp/4spd, 66 Vette convertible 450hp/4spd, 61 Pontiac bubbletop with 425A/4spd and 'bolt-ons'. After that...it's on to AIRCRAFT....and a nice 50ft sedan fishing boat with twin screw diesels. dj
I already own all the vehicles I want - except for one: I would set out to wrestle away the ALSR (Absolute Land Speed Record) from the Brits and bring it back to the good ol' U.S.A. - don't know if a single lottery win would be big enough to accomplish this, since we're talking supersonic speeds here . . . "Speed costs money, how fast do you wanna go, son?"
The two super goodies I had that got away: 1933 Ford Cabriolet, chopped, Carson top! 1948 Plymouth Special Deluxe Station Wagon, yep a woodie! oh, and the 1949 Mercury Station Wagon I passed on for $1500! well, then there is the 1931 Model A Sport Coupe and the 1934 Ford chopped and channeled 3W Coupe... and in my dreams The Niekamp car and Lynn Yakel's chopped and channeled 32 5W Coupe.
I'm not very imaginative so I'll go with the American Graffiti '32 coupe, '55 chevy, and the '51 Merc followed by a 29 model A roadster done up all post-WWII era hot rod... After that I'd be like Leno and just collect anything cool that caught my eye.
An all steel '40 Willys coupe, with an injected 392 Hemi, and a King Chassis front engine dragster with the same engine.
