What is your dream car if you had unlimited money?

[Salty Dog]

One of the original general Lee's.

[JuPaul]

Tough question. It might be a Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione ii.

That is a mean car, built for Group B rally. The money would be for a parts car, spare parts and a mechanic.

For pure beauty, an Alfa maybe, like Julia.

Yep! I'd need one of these on full-time staff for my Montreal, too.

[austrian_spyder_fan]

Easy question! An early 1970s Alfa Romeo Montreal, preferably in green!



My dad was a HUGE Alfa guy, and instilled a love of them in me from a very young age. We used to sit in his Spider and he'd quiz me on the names of all the guages.

Great.
It's also on my wishlist.

[austrian_spyder_fan]

Just one car?

Lotus Super Seven
Lotus Omega
Buick Riviera 71
Mercedes W100 Coupe ;-)
Alfa Montreal
Equus Bass 660
Ford Mustang (Bullitt Style)
Plymouth Road Runner
Hummer H1
Mercedes G
Mercedes 190 16V
.......

[abbazaba]

All of them? We are talking unlimited money right?

I might start with finding a Grand National or GNX

My dad had a cherry red Montreal for a while. His needed a lot of work, though, and the parts were so hard to find that he and his Alfa buddies ended up machining their own stuff half the time. I remember it actually running for a total of maybe 3 days. But it was a labor of love for him, and man, it was such a sexy car!!

[Cycletroll]

Already driving it. Lexus LX570.

My one and only tattoo! I got it when my dad died, as a reminder that he still always has my back. His friends all teased me that I was named for the Alfa Giulia.

[rangefinder]

Probably a mid 1930s Delahaye 135S (Special), the racing version of the 135.

Although Delahaye was a big name in racing in the 1930s (e.g., finished #1 and #2 at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1938), they're not really very well known now. Here's a quick intro, and at the bottom is a link to a big gallery: https://www.supercars.net/blog/1935-del ... 5-special/

From a more attainable standpoint, I also like many of the Chryslers made during the Great Depression time frame (late 20s into the 30s).

For the Montreal fans, you might also like the Lamborghini Jarama: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Jarama

Same time frame (1970-76), same designer (Marcello Gandini), and super rare (328 units).

Hi Julia,

that is very touching.
Your dad must have been very proud of you.

That's cool Julia.

Funny but you never seemed high maintenance.

[cabfrank]

Threads like this are great! You are never too old to dream.

High maintenance like an Alfa? Well, since I turned 40 my body does seem to keep breaking down all the time!

The Jarama is definitely cool! Kinda looks like the lovechild of a Montreal and a Lotus Esprit.

[The Mastiff]

Yeah, or any worthwhile sports model.

Oh man wait until your 50's if you think 40's are bad. Whatever you still have work at keeping it. It's a lot harder to get it back once it goes. I found out after sitting around after a surgery. And being old.

I'd be pretty pumped about an electric 911. Anything pre-1976.

Impressive acceleration at the 5:00 and 5:50 mark. Messing around on the highway with the Corvette around 9:25 mark.
