Wow, that's a tough one. 10 would be easier... no make that 15. Can we keep our daily driver and what we already have?
1 - 427 Cobra replica (with a real 427 side-oiler)
2 - 1st gen Dodge Viper GTS
3 - Series 1 Jag XKE vert
4 - 05 Lotus Elise
5 - 66-67 big block Vette

[Satatic]

68 camaro, automatic
68 camaro, standard
67 firebird, automatic
67 firebird, standard

Man I really dont like newer cars.

[sca037]

1989 Porsche 911 Turbo
1997 Viper GTS-R (street version---duh!)
1998 Porsche 993 Cabriolet
2005 Aerial Atom (see picture---it's stooopid fast w/ Honda S2000 drivetrain)
2006 C6 Corvette (I'll need a daily driver ;-)

Brian
(I don't think a Double Venom would make the price point ;) )

[...dave]

i'd need a page or two. Exotics aren't really my bag- it's mostly the eccentric old luxury cars that do it for me. $50k buys a lot more in that arena.

1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham (couldn't get a 100-point car for that, but it'd be nice enough)
1959 Lincoln Mark III convertible
1960 Imperial Crown convertible, with a massaged 500-cube stroker
1968 Cadillac S&S Victoria 3-way hearse
1959 Austin Healey Sprite body on a tube-chassis road racer (gotta have something i can park in a normal-sized spot)

Honorable mentions: 1969 Thunderbird 4-door, 1965 Buick Riviera, 1961 Chrysler New Yorker (300Gs can break the $50k limit now. Sheesh)., 1967 Eldorado Biarritz, 1974 Volkswagen Thing... all with enough left over for some serious mods :rocker:

Hey, sounds like several of the cars I've owned in the past...

So...which one did you like best? :cool:
Maybe too tough of a question?

[Concrete Video]

Original steel 34 Ford Pickup
67 Lincoln Continental
70 Cadillac Coupe Deville
67 Chevy Truck
05 Excursion 2wd for towing/travel/business

[kdubaz]

I'm with Concrete and LowYota on this one, as I'm pretty much a minitrucker myself. Here goes:

'05 GMC Crew Cab Dually fully loaded (Not a big fan of the '05 HD Chevy clips)
'67 Chevy Truck
'65 Lincoln Continental convertible sedan
'94 Toyota pickup, std cab shortbed, green (Based on the first thing I ever built)
'59 El Camino or Impala

[Concrete Video]

Kevin,

I would've put in for a newer minitruck too, but I figure they'll be around for a while, so I went with the older rides.

Besides, I already have a Ranger and a 88 B2200 Mazda. I guess I have a few too many projects already (5 total, but 2 are parts only), let alone having 5 more!

I've always told my wife I'd rather have 10 $2000 vehicles than a single $20,000 one.

Brad

[Lil'Biatch]

1976 Ford Excursion (My Current Project)
1929 Ford Model A Pickup- Modified into a crew cab (My future project)
2002 Chevy 3500 Crew Cab Dually (My current daily driver/hauler....I could drop another $25,000 into customizing and get to the $50,000 threshold)
1968-72 Chevy Nova SS (When I get sick of building trucks I'll pick up one of these)
1984 Hurst/Olds (I'll probably just go take my friend Victor's...he never sees it anyways since he's in D.C. and it's outside of Chicago)

These are more my "what I plan on getting in the next ten years" I once made up a list with someone that included a car from every decade that I would want. Most of these were from that list.

[thebankman]

Early C5 Corvette can be had for under 50k
kawasaki zk-6r
Lotus Elise
Nissan 240sx
and another motorcycle over 900cc

the family's already got the corvette, now we need the others...

[SLR]

Honda S2K (brand new)
RSX Type-R (N/A, fully build)
Cobra 2000
Silverado SS
Camaro SS 69'

[sberry]

I have no use for more than this one,,, Just dont dream about cars.

[veriest1]

Wow, I haven't been around here in a while. I probably need to update my sig... new car and whatnot since then....

1) Ariel Atom
2) GT3 Spec Tube Chassis 240sx
3) '86 S10 w/350 swap (I have this one lying about actually. Just waiting on the motor and time)
4) '96 Dinan M3 (I like my car well enough to put it on here)
5) WRX STI or Mitsubishi Evolution (can't decide which I actually like best)

[Rickster]

In no particular order.....
- 65 or 66 Mustang GT Coupe, dark blue or black.
- 68 Mustang Fastback, dark green
- late 90s Firebird
- 67 or 68 Camaro Convertable
- Street Rod, like a 32 Ford roadster, with no fenders or hood, ... and painted primer black

[Bob Kinker]

Sure is a tough question. Here goes:
1934 Packard Sport Roadster
Any Airflow
68 Charger R/T

[FUNFER2]

I'll put mine in the mix here. 1966 427 Cobra replica. Original engine that Carroll Shelby for S/C competition. Owner rapped it around a gas pole (it didn't explode) :willy_nil scared the bejesus out of him & sold it back to Carroll. It's a Lone Star kit.

My wish list under 50 grand would be-
63'-67' Corvette (price) ? 67' 427 Vette would be perfect ! :rocker:
Hemi Cuda (clone if under 50)
Other Mopars- GTX, Charger, ect...)
69' Mach 1

[bje31]

Ha iiibdsiil, interested in selling the SS Impala? I am retiring in early October and that car would make a great present!!!

[iiibdsiil]

Hahahaha. No. :-) It's my baby. I have quite a few things done to it, and am getting ready to put a 6 speed manual trans in it. Father forgive me.

You can go to www.impalassforum.com, and go to their message forum though. There is a for sale section and always something good for sale. Whether you want a bone stock, low mileage, or a 396 with a 6 speed, or whatever, it is there. Heck, there's one that runs 9's, with full interior, and AC for sale.

People ask me why I dont have a new car/truck and a snowmobile,,, well I would have to get a damm job then,,, ha and I am not getting up at 6 am (middle of the night) to enrich a car company, Artic Cat and a bank and the U.S. govt.

MGBGT V8, A Volvo P1800, a good solid CB MGB with a GM V6 and fivespeed and a beat up but rust free stock MGB just to take out to have fun with and clear my mind, and my GMC 3/4 ton p/u with and endless supply of gas to pull my trailer with

[swazzie]

I like this post , I think I'll keep it goin.....Here's my two cents ;


1937 ford business coupe with a flathead caddy
1957 ford 300 2dr
1939 ford truck 265 hilborn blah blah
1970 lamborghini urraco
1968 corvette stroked 283

[Hacksaw]

68 Cougar GTE w/ 427 engine
57 Chevy 2 door (post or hardtop...I ain't picky!)
39 Ford tudor street rod
76-77 Plymouth Volare with a V8 four speed
70 AMX black on black

[zman]

'57 Buick w/ 3 on the tree
'65 Riviera
'65 Corvette
'69 AMX w/390 and Go Package
'59 GMC Pickup, short Fleetside w/ Deluxe trim

[AZAV8]

Mine tend towards the "older" side:

1. '29 Ford roadster pickup hot rod, fenderless with flathead and 5-speed.
2. '48 Ford F1 pickup with overhead V8, automatic, hot rod again.
3. '57 Ford Thunderbird, Ford modular V8, automatic and other mods.
4. '34 Ford roadster, full fendered, flathead V8, hot rod.
5. '27 Ford V4/STR for Bonneville.
6. '29 Ford station wagon, modified.

I know I cheated and listed six, but that's what I want. The only one that's real is the '48 F1 sitting in the garage now and the flathead for the RPU. Now what I want differs from what I need and what I can afford, which are two other questions, that are yet unanswered. I guess I'll have to start playing the lottery more often than when it gets over $200 million.

If it had to be 5 and only 5:

- Corvette Coupe - Monterrey Red Metallic
- 2007 Chevy Avalance 4x4 - Daily driver
- New Jeep Wrangler Unlimited - just because
- Dodge Charger, BMW 5 series, or Land Rover LR3 - Wife to be wants one and it would keep her from driving my cars (I hope).

That leaves me with $50,000. I'd probably buy a couple of ATVs and a trailer. Since I want to live on acreage - got to have a fairly big tractor (and attachments). $50,000 would disappear quickly.

[Kaydon]

Jeep Unlimited, 2007 Dodge Charger, 2007 Silverado, 2007 TrailBlazer, Suzuki GSXR 1300 Limited (Yeah, not a car, ohwell.)

Oh, and I wouldn't want an Enzo, plus you have to be picked by Ferrari to own one. I wouldn't want a McLaren either. I'd rather have a Porsche GT3, don't ask.

[wilbilt]

1961 SS 409 Impala, 1966-69 fullsize Chevy wagon with woodgrain, a Non-US spec Toyota 70-series Land Cruiser, maybe a new Suburban, and a WWII CCKW.

Havent posted in a while. Here's my list.

53 Ford F-100
84 GMC Sierra Full Size (with airride)
82 GMC Sierra S-15 (V-8 swap and custom control arms and weight jacks in front and "truck arm" rear suspension and weight jacks back there to.)
Any year Chevy Suburban. Except any built after 1990 Lowered steel wheels and a engine swap. (anything from a new Vortec V-8 to a Duramax.)
And whatever else i see that I cant live without. I think a lowered semi truck for towing my bonneville race truck would be cool.

I have the first two and working on the second one. I like trucks a lot.

In the garage already are:
