Default Dream 10 car collection?

I remembered this post from 2010 and wanted to go back to see if my dream list had changed at all. I know a bunch of you here have actual 10+ car collections! My list hasn't really changed that much over time.

New 10 car dream collection:

1979 Pontiac Trans Am, white, tan interior, 400, 4 speed, t-tops
2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, silver, black interior, soft top (have this one)
1969 Z/28 Camaro, white, red interior, no console, hood and spoiler
1970 Chevelle SS 454 convertible, Astro Blue, black interior
2016 Superformance Cobra, dark blue, white stripes, big motor sidepipes
1994 Porsche 928S
1978 Datsun 280Z
1989 Porsche 911 convertible, blue, tan interior
1960-67 Jaguar XKE convertible
Mid 70's BMW 2002

All with manual transmissions!

Old list:

1969 Z/28 Cortez Silver, no console
1970 Chevelle SS 454, Astro Blue
2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Shahra, orange, tan guts
2010 Superformance Cobra, dark blue, white stripes, big motor sidepipes
1964 Ford Galaxie XL 500 convertible, dark green, tan guts (dad had one)
1974 Corvette convertible, white, tan guts, 454
1948 MG TC, wire wheels
1970 Datsun 240Z
2010 Porsche 911?

Except for the Jeep, want! Already have the Jeep.
I hope to start with the less expensive ones once my 3 boys are through college! If you drop out the Jag, the cost of school would probably fund this collection!

I have had some of these in the past and would like to reacquire.

I have a question, your first list includes a 70 Datsun 240z, on your second list you changed this to a 78 280z. I wondered what caused you to make the change. I've never owned a 240z but my wife has a 78 280z with only 20k miles (it's not for sale). I'm not big on it but she loves it, never drives it, just looks at it and takes it to shows

I changed it to '78 because I had a '78 and I subsequently read about many improvements (clutch, brakes) made over the model years.

Man, to me a 71 240z is a nice part of a dream car collection, especially in orange!

Guy down my street had a orange one years ago. Nice looking car. A buddy had one in a copper color that we put a SBC w/ PG in. Still not sure how we kept the half shafts in it!

Thanks for the response, my wife's 280Z is an automatic / air car, it's the only Z we have owned so I just wondered why you switched from 70 to 78. They are neat little cars
