What was your dream car growing up?

My friend in HS had the regular Buick Grand National . It was very, very fast. We all had 60's cars - Mustangs, GTOs, Chevelles, Camaros, etc. We could hang with him for about 1/8 mile but then the turbo would really kick in and he'd pull away from us all.
There was another gut who had a brand-new red IROC-Z - he got so many girls just because of that car.

My first car was a 1972 Madza RX-2 bought in 1976. I always wanted the top of the line Madza RX-7.
I didn't appreciate Japanese sports cars until I really started learning about and working on cars. From about 1975-2000 Japanese manufacturers were insanely ambitious in their engineering.Originally posted by DFSNOLE:

I know it's not a "car" but it might have been being a young kid during the age of 'Convoy' and 'Smokey and the Bandit' but
Peterbilt's, Mack's and other semis were popular with my age group then.
Snoman and Fred had it going on.
For a car, loved the red Ferrari Mondial convertable in Weird Science as a kid.

64 impala convertible. Now I would just want a muscle car classic not the new stuff

Had that same 959 poster as well.Originally posted by mnole03:
The ones I'm proud of:
Porsche 959. I had a poster on my wall.
Also had a Lamborghini Countach as well, that was probably my main dream car as a kid.

The Wankel engine turned out 130+hp in a car the size of a Toyota Corolla. Had it over 130mph on I95 once racing a Datsun 240Z. That wasn't very smart.
If I had room in my garage I'd buy this.
My dream car was always a C3 Corvette convertible, I've got one, would like another.
1980 TransAm

I'd always thought the C3 was the weakest Corvette design, until I moved into my current building. A guy in our garage has a show car quality silver C3. I've walked by it twice a day for almost 10 years now, and every time I think this must be the most badass car ever built. It is beautiful.
This is not a the weakest design. Only rivaled by the C2 in my opinion. This my car by the way...Originally posted by mnole03:

You don't need to convince me. I've repented.
Unattainable:
Original LP400, before the P-Zeros, bumpers, and whaletails
Attainable:
a Series I FHC. While I wanted an Opalescent Blue true Series I, I ended up with a Series 1.5 in Ascot Fawn - snooty words for boring beige. I still loved it more than any girlfriend. It looked just like this:
Since they have priced themselves into unattainable now, I bought one of these - and I may love it more than my wife.
