That's dumb
Way too many to chose from. But if i had to pick just one, Hemi Cuda. There are so many cool old muscle cars with big blocks that I would love to have!

Sorry i got off on a huge tangent from supercars to old hot rods.
I had a chance a little over 2 years ago to buy a rather famous east coast '32 5 window, and I finally balked. Well it just came back for sale. $15k higher, and its still worth it. Now how to get the dough for it? Had I not signed up for XRRA that thing would be in my garage by this Sunday. Sacrifices......
I've got old speedparts that I paid little to nothing for 5-7 years ago that now are selling for thousands. The whole rat rod movement, and the whole vintage hot rod movement blew up. The thing I missed snaggin cheap was a '32 though. There is a saying about them. "You never pay too much for a deuce, you just bought it at the wrong time. "
Another example is a '32 roadster I passed on 3 years ago for $13k sold last spring at the Pate swap meet multiple times. The guy that I tried to buy it from wouldn't come off $13k, I offered $11.5 it was a basketcase. Former west texas race car built in the late '50s. Channeled over the frame with a torch and the body was welded back to the frame the entire length (ugly bird poop welded), 322 Nailhead, and '39 ford tranny. But still a basketcase.
Rodney the guy that owned it showed up at Pate last sping with it, and it sold before he could get out of his truck and unload it for $18k on Thursday. By Sunday it had sold for 24k, 27k, and finally for $32k! The last guy put a sign on it in his booth saying "Not for sale"
Yeah it made me sick. But the wife said, yeah so what, if you had bought it, it would still be sitting in the back of the shop covered up. You wouldn't have sold it. She may have a point. <y point is old cars/tin/speedparts have been the best invests I have made in the past 7 years. They have gained appreciated more than any of my traditional investing.
Oh here are the pics of the roadster as it sat the day i passed at $13k. Not much to look at, but it looked exactly the same at pate.
Yeah I'm always hunting old tin. Its an expensive addiction. My dad brought home a cherry '32 Ford 5 window on Sunday. I rolled it off the trailer then took it for a spin. Man I love driving old cars.braves10and22 said:

Holy ****, the guy I built the huge tahoe for is a Z guy. He has a HUGE set of turbos, a spare engine minus injectors and everything for sale. wants to get back into wheelin and out of the street cars. If you need his TT Z or his spare motor with unused brand new (3.5K worth) of turbos, hit me on PM>under_psi said:my favorit sports car is the 1993-1995 mazda rx7....i have had 3...

I was wondering when you were going to chime in ;D
I've always liked the Elise. Super light, usually bare-bones basic, and I could actually afford one one day.
Also since I love to go fast on the dirt I'd love something like this:

hey rikkie...
you know what's funny.....i have already been debatin what engine to put in stinky after i wheel it for a minute, no-matt-no more nowheeling comments atm plz-
i will probably do a V8 one day, bc i already have a radiator sufficient for one, but i have been in contact with a few people about sticking a TT 300zx motor in the car, it would be cool and DIFFERENT....it is just wide enuff, has tons of power, and i can run a standalone like electromotive on it, and i have installed that before, so, no biggie on that....just time and money...and i seem to be good at wasting both.......
