One of the original general Lee's.

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

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. :D :p But it was a labor of love for him, and man, it was such a sexy car!!

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.austrian_spyder_fan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 1:36 pmHe Julia,JuPaul wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 1:11 pmMy dad had a cherry red Montreal for a while.

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).

The Jarama is definitely cool! Kinda looks like the lovechild of a Montreal and a Lotus Esprit.rangefinder wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 1:54 pmProbably a mid 1930s Delahaye 135S (Special), the racing version of the 135.

Re: What is your dream car if you had unlimited money?
Yeah, or any worthwhile sports model. :)High maintenance like an Alfa?
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. :oWell, since I turned 40 my body does seem to keep breaking down all the time!

I'd be pretty pumped about an electric 911. Anything pre-1976.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

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