i have been thinking.....as some of us get older, we would like to own a car that we not have been able to afford or find in our life time. what's the top 3 cars on you bucket list? if you have completed your list ...post some pics! here's mine: 34 ford phaeton 63 corvette coupe 65 corvair corsa with a v8 conversion

Mine would probably have to be a 1961 Impala SS with a 409 and a 4-speed. Although a restored one would be nice - I think I'd much rather have one that is original, un-restored and in pristine condition...maybe with a little patina. This car probably doesn't exist.
49 to 51 Ford woodie 30/31 model a hot rod 60 Olds convertible Posted using a number two pencil on a paper napkin.
'34 Ford roadster (Hope it's ready to go to Pomona in June). '55 Chevrolet Bel Air (Sold it recently after enjoying for 14 years). '70 Chevelle convertible (Finally finished after 30 years). '50 Merc coupe (I'll find one yet).
Adding to my current collection my bucket list would be 57 Corvette Fuelie 41 Willys Gasser Hemi Powered 63 Split Window Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I've got rich man's desires, but a poor man's budget! My top three are: 1. 1948-52 Anglia (settled on my '46 Austin. close, and I'm happy with it as a substitute) 2. Willys coupe 1933-34, or 1940-41. Fat chance. 3. '61-'62 Corvette About the same chance as the Willys!
You might be sick of seeing them but I certainly am not,but then again I'm not a Corvette aficionado,to each his own. 1932 Ford Roadster 1950 Ford Business coupe These two are all that I really still desire. HRP
I would like to finish the 2 I already have 1966 Corvette 1961 Chevy Wagon thier pics are in an album on my member page. I would also like to have a Gasser style car and the list of acceptadle candidates would be long.
I'd be happy to finish my '37 Chevy coupe and put a few thousand miles on it before I leave this old world. And I guess if I were blessed with the time and money for one more, I'd want another '67 GTO to replace the one I sold when I was young, so I could concentrate on my young family.
1936 ford 3w coupe 1927 ford roadster on 32 rails 49-50 fleetline 61 olds starfire 88 61 pontiac ventura 61 impala 60 impala 60 olds 60 starliner 65 mercury comet caliente 56 bel air HT
I looked for 39 years for the "right" 1932 Plymouth Model PB roadster to come along. It's in work. I hope I'm still around to drive the wheels off.
All I want is a street driven 1950's dragster. I think a Chassis Research TE440 or TE 448 might do. Or maybe something like Tommy Ivo's single engine Buick. I'm not picky. .
I tried to start a thread where people could post reminders that there are already threads created on various subjects but the moderators shut it down. I'm guessing they thought it was pointless.
I wish for good health for my wife, son and myself. Next I'd settle for a 62,63,or '64 Impala SS, 409, 4 speed.
