For real would like an extended cab Tacoma or Ranger, but I don’t want to overpay. I am happy with my (sigh) Camry for now. Started looking right before pandemic hit. Prices improving.
Volvo 262 C. Always wanted a silver one. Reminds me of a spy car.
67 Firebird.
and with 3 kids, I really graduated to the full size SUV class. I always loved Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade body type and since my wife and I were already happy with our chevy dealership I'm in a Tahoe now and love it. I'll remain in one until my kids start driving.
My "dream" car or "toy", if you will, would be a Corvette Z06. Hopefully when my kids are all grown and married I will become the old man you see tooling around in one for fun.
I am that old guy tooling around town. I always wanted a Corvette and now that my four kids are grown and on their own I bought a 2023 2 LT a couple of weeks ago. Love that car.

That's awesome! Congrats on the purchase and enjoy it in good health.
TJ nailed it with the Corvette. I lusted after that red and white car
a year before they started putting the smog stuff on the engines, and the last year that Shelby oversaw the production of the Shelby Mustang.
I have a 68 Mustang Coupe that's doing a good job filling that void. It was also a tenth of the cost.
Honestly, if I had that car, i wouldn't drive it.. i would be too afraid of hurting it.
I had several 60's Mustangs in High School and College (mostly beaters).
I would love a 65-68 fastback with a 4spd. But I think with my age now, I'd want it to be more restomod with decent suspension, a/c and power steering brakes and better front end than stock.
A good back up is an early 70-72 camaro or transam. I had a 75 in college, always liked the earlier models in that body style.
Mopars are cool, I had a small block 72 Dart. I like the 'Cuda and the Road Runners.
Had a 72 Nova SS and 72 Skylark Convertible back in the day too
Pretty much most any 60s-70s muscle car with no emissions stuff.
67 Corvette Convertible big block Resto Mod.
The one I bid on was built on a C-5 platform.
Gorgeous car.
Resto Mod prices are out of control these days.
Oh wow, you built it on a C-5 platform???
The thing must handle amazing!
I've always said the coolest Vettes are the C1-C3 generation, but they drive like trucks and brake like freight trains. They look and sound great, but that's about it. Overall they're worth it, but can't drive them the same way you can the newer cars.
The restomod philosophy is not for everyone, but it does allow one to experience these older cars as if they were new (especially if you weren't around when they were).

You lived the life very few were able to, lucky guy!
Agree on the no emissions stuff.
Something about a pre-emissions car with carburetors that is a portal to another universe.
You could probably put some leaded race gas in these things for more power.

Thank you Chris.
1973 LeMans with a built Chevy 454 (about 450 hp to the rear wheels)
I have a JKU Wrangler now but the 392 would be the dream. Winter weather? No problem. Summer weather? Drop the top. A true all season vehicle but with a 392 hemi under the hood with enough grunt(470hp) that every time you mash the skinny pedal, you can't help but smile. It's a shame it's costs $100k otherwise it'd already be in my driveway.
But my dream car which I owned back in 1966 was a 1965 K code Mustang fastback. I bought the Saleen because there was no way I could afford an unmolested 65 these days
Volvo 262 C. Always wanted a silver one. Reminds me of a spy car.
67 Firebird.
I am a truck guy, though. Fond of the King Ranch.
I'm also a motorcycle guy. I'm happy with my Heritage, but I wouldn't mind upgrading to a CVO Road Glide if money was no option.

What kind of engine are you running?
The new one is incredible. Can control the character of the car through the steering wheel controls.
And somehow they keep making the same style look fresh after 60 years. The huge wing works in every sense of the word.
I saw one in SLC recently and it was pretty cool looking, better in real life than photos.

When you drop into second and max it the heavens part and a noise barely of this Earth is heard.
