Would love to own a '67 427/435 hp Vette, but won't be doing that with the prices they bring. I'd settle for a used C7 in a couple of years.

bucket list stuff
Car wise all that's left is a 57 vert
other wise:
live long enough to see my grandson graduate school he is 7
finish the restoration on my 78 C3 (this should be around Ty's graduation)
out live my X so I can stop paying Alimony
live long enough to see a conservative back in Whitehouse
I am really a simple guy

Mine.....
and maybe a used C8 later.......if they fix the rear end. Heck even a C7 if it has that aftermarket rear facia that returns it to real corvette taillights.
That is a dream car.

Yea, you might want to raise your sights a little on the Ferrari. The Magnum car was a 308. Very sexy lines but the last one I saw up close, the interior was horrible, fit, finish and design all looked cheap.

2024 C7 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
If you want to be a look at me I am in a Ferrari 308 or 328 go for it! But I would not even give $20k for one especially now, my cousin owned one that he bought brand new back in '85 (we were early 20's at the time) to tool around in and I was not impressed then as I felt it was underpowered, and not to mention very expensive parts and /or to have worked on. My feelings are the same for a Viper as I have been in many and yes they do have great power and brakes but just very UN-refined when even compared to the C5 I now own.

2024 C7 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I have had a lot of bucket list cars go through my hands over the years and still hope to get a mid-7 second dragster at some point as I have raced this car for 10+ years now and before that many years in 10 second cars, here is the one I have raced the last 10 years that runs 9.0's at 148.

A '57 Chevy Bel Air two door hardtop like my first car.
Any year Jetstream blue Z06 or since dreaming a Zr1
A nice solid axle Vette, any year as long as it is a 4-speed.
A '69 Z/28 Camaro, must be blue with black stripes.
A garage large enough to hold these four plus my '67 roadster and '99 FRC.

Lifetime trophy car?
I don't know about that. I could dream on, but personally I'm pretty happy and satisfied with what the good lord has granted me !

My Corvette was one of them; the only other one would be a 1965 Buick Riviera, the one with the clamshell headlight doors. This was the last year of the first generation that Bill Mitchell designed, and I feel it's the best of the breed, and what Mitchell would have wanted in the first place for the '63 and '64 editions.
