Dreams aren't meant to come true, are they? Or is that 'fantasies? My dream car is now in my garage sitting on a hoist above my '65 silver/red 327 coupe - a '67 427/435 maroon/black convertible - worth the 40yr wait, yeehaa!!
So, moving on to my 'fantasy' car - a Bugatti Veyron ! Did any of you folk see that English show 'Top Gear' when they had one running 407kph on a test track - my heart nearly stopped beating! First production car ever to reach 1,000bhp......and cheap at 800,000British pounds when they cost 5million a piece to build !! Best Regards, Gary (Perth, Australia).

Hi
Within financial reason I would opt for a 65 442 just because when I was a kid my Uncle had one w/4 speed and 4:11's. He used to let me drive it so in the world of "want to have them all muscle cars" of the 60's, that would be my first choice.
Outside of financial possibilities would be a Porsche Carrera GT however I do have hopes for one of the new 650 or so HP vettes that is still without a name but due out in 08. However I would never buy a first run anything.

PS. My 365 GTB would have Borranis and not the Cromodoras.

See Stacie says we could be brothers because my list is very similar...
1. Every since we saw the 62 Bubble top at Myrtle Beach I've wanted one however I want it black with blue interior with the 409.. It's something about the valve covers..
2. 66 Nova Steel Grey with TTII's built 327 and 5spd..
3. 55 150 Primer black with no stainless 454 and straight pipes...
4. Porsche Speedster
