Classic Cars: What do you want to own?

[junorico24]

These are the getting rare cars that you dream of owning.

For me..1983 Volvo 240 the same age as me LOL.

Yours?

[ern-diz]

If it has to be a race car, I would vote for the 1969 Hemi Charger Daytona.

That's right, call me Joe Dirt.

[Runethecursed]

Oh boy there's a huge list...


67 68 69 Dodge Dart Two door.
Duster 340
Any Year Grand National
71 Buick GS stage 1
I'd like another GMT360 Chassis to Overland in
FJ Cruiser for said same reasons
2010 RX8 R3 in Aurora blue, just to look at while its not burning apex seals
2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5Rs coupe
1998 BMW M3 in Imola Red
1991 RX7 turbo 2 in that red ( same year I was born... /sicc/)
1990 Mercedes Benz 190e Costworth (would love this too)
2019 Corolla Hatchback in Blue with wing..
ohh so many more...

Some of those are modern cars and not considered classic yet.

I mean ooooold classic cars where they have wind up windows and cassette tapes. LOL.

So many cars I can think of, but this came to mind: 1962 Volvo P1800... a work of art.

[justanotherdrunk]

the guy in thirtysomething drove one

[BennyLava]

1967 mustang fast back (with new coyote engine installed)

2014 Mustang GT 500

1993 Fox body mustang GT (or cobra)

1995 Mustang cobra convertible

[dogsridewith]

must be a photo of the hatchback version of that Volvo somewhere?
(wiki classifies it as a "shooting brake." Which term Porsche is now using to describe and/or name a new model.)

[Whiplash]

74 Saab Sonett
Any year Fiat 124 (not so rare)
Any year Yugo (not so rare)

We think alike.

A classic car is an older automobile; the exact definition varies around the world. The common theme is of an older car with enough historical interest to be collectable and worth preserving or restoring rather than scrapping. Cars 20 years and older typically fall into the classic class.


hence sans maybe the GMT360 and FJ most of those fall closely into that category....

and my 2001 subaru impreza had crank windows and a cassette player..

And im predicting the future with the Rx8.... cause im selfish and ignorant ahaha

2 cars I'd like to own, but probably nobody will. 1969 Mustang "twisted Hemi" 429. only 500 made so Ford could run the heads in Nascar. No dyno's done cause Ford wouldn't let them but guesstimates were between 570 to 600 horse...from the factory in 69!
The other, even more rare is a 69 Dodge dart called a Dart X. Only saw a Hot Rod magazine on it. Less than 100 made. no undercoating, no insulation, no back seat, just aluminum sheeting. No window cranks, just a canvas strap to hold it up or unsnap it to lower it. Battery located in the trunk. The ENTIRE body, once assembled, but b4 painting was acid dipped to lower weight further. Came with Hooker headers and dual exhaust with cutouts.
With street tires (9" wide) it ran 9.80 quarter mile, and smoked the tires a quarter of the way down the track. They didnt have time to put slicks on it, darn it. They said honestly it would hit upper 8's in the quarter mile with good tires. And this was with the completely stock motor. Oh yeah, the motor. Only one available was a 426 hemi with dual quad carbs.......

I found a reference to the Mustang, but not the Dart

Masterpiece.

^^^ Once owned a 1982 Volvo 240GL in exactly that colour. Real tank of a car that drove more like a truck, but very comfortable. Cost a bloody fortune to maintain and repair.

Cool.

I always liked the 1965 Pontiac GTO that I used to live around the corner from.

Otherwise, an AC Cobra 429....
