Here's #1 and #2 on cars I wanted to own since I was a kid.

#1 http://www.autotraderclassics.com/find/ ... nId=226063

#2 http://www.autotraderclassics.com/find/ ... nId=226063

I never had the chance to buy either of these back in the day, as they were rare then too.

Could have bought one of these for $4000 in the 80s:

Dart,
I too have a weak spot for Mopar, especially cudas, however my heart really belongs to this trio of lovely ladies

My knees quake when I see a vintage Ferrari...I go to the Cavallino Festival every year in Plam Beach. It's one of those occasions where bibs and towels are necessary.

The black one sold not that long ago for over $10,000,000; a 250 California Spyder; that will certainly buy a lot of original Trainwrecks.

I have a soft spot for Ferraris, old Porsches, and Astin Martins too. For Ferraris, I'll take this one:

COOL Dana! Very cool. Don't you have a pimped out MicroBus too?

When my wife gets on me about amp stuff, I try to reminder her what the alternative would be. :wink:

Believe it or not I just sold it a couple of months ago. I use to own (all at one time) the 57 Porsche, a 78 Bus, a 76 Beetle, a 71 Karman GHia, a 64 VW Notch Back and a 65 VW Notch Back. I have sold off a few and only have the 57, 64 and 76 Beetle left. I am turning the 76 Beetle into a minature version of a 36 ford Panel truck. I also took a 86 Fiero 2M6, 6 cylinder in trade on the bus. The Fiero is a great base for a kit car build.

2 of my favorites..the 166MM Barchetta and a 356. Dana, is that an original or a kit?
I used to watch Victory by Design ever time it came on...I didn't particularly like DeCadenet though.
For the last 6 months or so, I've been gassing for an 87 911 coupe with G50. I've wanted a Porsche since I was a kid. Right now, this is my only ride, a 2002 Subaru WRX with APS turbo-back exhaust and 1998 STI V5 wheels

It's a kit. Porsche never made a 356 with flared fenders. I guess I'm just a builder/tinkerer at heart. Amps, cars are pretty much the same. Take a bunch of parts and turn it into something cool. 8)

My Daily driver is a super charged 2006 Mini S.

I posted a link to the VBD-Ferrari video snippet of the 63 GTO above. That is the pinnacle of automotive body design.

Tomorrow is this year's Cavallino Festival, as always at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach..usually around 100-150 of the best Ferraris built; owners bring them in from all over the world. I can't wait to see what's there this year.
Dart, take a look at the bottom of the photo on the website...a fleet of Barchettas! http://www.cavallino.com/classic.html

Do they supply drool buckets with admission?

YIKES! I think I need to hit the Monterrey show.

Hope the weather get's better for the show this weekend. It would suck to get rained out.
