Ten favorite cars
 

OK, I was perusing car porn on ebay, and got to thinking about how many cars I would really like to have. So, if you could have any ten cars (exclusive of what you are driving) just to play with and have fun, what would they be. List is limited to 10. Price is no object either way, i.e. don't just choose a car because you could sell it for more $, and just assume you could pick the cars. Also, maintenance isn't an issue. Just what you would like to have fun with, assuming you had storage for 10 "extra" cars. Some cars I just like regardless of whether they were the fastest (or whatever "est" you want to use) of their day. I just like them.

I'll start, although I am sure my list would change over the next few years. Here is my list:

69 Z/28 (black with white stripes)
63 Ferrari 250 GTO (red)
57 Chev Bel Air 2 door hardtop (tropical turquoise with white top)
55 Chev vert (red and white)
55 Nomad (black with white top)
57 Eldo Biarritz in Copper color - like the one in the Hard Rock Café somewhere in S. Cal
57 Eldo Seville (but not the hideous Brougham) (White)
57 Corvette (Black with white or silver coves)
Acura NSX (black)
BMW M1 (white - only color available)

Any Cobra 427
71' Hemi Cuda Rag
71' Hemi Cuda Sassy Hardtop
69' ZL1
70' Chevelle LS6 Rag
64' Thunder Bolt
68' Baldwin Motion Camaro
69' Yenko Camaro
69' Hurst AMX S/S
70' Lamborghini Miura

And of course they'd all have to be stick cars

Tough list. Would take some time to come up with the final 10. Off the top of my head:

69 RS/Z, LMB White HS, endura (all time fave)
61 Bubbletop, Impala or Ventura
67-8 Hideway Eldo
Mid 60's Lincoln 'vert
Black/White stripe 70 Chevelle
70-73 Formula
57 Vette, beat to hell driver
68-70 Vette 'vert, Blue

I know that's not 10. No automatics where applicable.

Re: Ten favorite cars
 

Hmm, let's see:

1) 1969 COPO Camaro ZL-1
2) 1969 Biscayne, L72, burnished brown
3) 1970 Challenger 440+6, green on green on green
4) 1967 Corvette 425/435, side pipes
5) 1963 Jaguar XKE
6) 1970 Buick GS Stage 1
7) 1969 A12 Road Runner
8) 1969 Nova L78
9) 1969 COPO Camaro L72, all black (daily driver)
10) 1970 Hemi Cuda Convertible

I'd have to give the colors some thought on most of the cars. I think all cars would be manual transmission except maybe the Nova (might be good to have 1 automatic in the stable in case I break my left foot [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]) Oh, and dog dish caps on everything but the Jag, Corvette, &amp; A12 Roadrunner.
