Same goes for this one. Can’t afford it either, but it’d be me first pick, right down to the color...

I guess I never realized they made goats ugly. Looks like they put parts together from oldsmobile, monte carlo and Buick all put together.

I remember seeing those as Olds but never as a GTO.
 
I would just be happy with a like new old-stock Jeep Wagoneer.

A friend of mine got a low milage Cherokee about that vintage that had been stored in a garage. A villager owned it and used to for their Anchorage trips. They'd fly into town and get into their own car rather than rent to taxi. They got a sweet deal. The Jeep is pristine.
 
I have always been a fan of the j series jeep pickups.

With a 360 crammed under the hood mmm mmmm mmm.

I even had one that came with a factory CB mounted in the glovebox.

I have flipped these quickly too. Bought one really cheap that ran like crap. Put 8 new sparkplugs and tripled my money in 3 days.

BTW, the armor on these things would rival a Bradley... lol They sure were solid machines.
 
This is the only car I would not drive even if I owned one:

It has been an icon in my mind for so long that if I drove it I think it would become just another car.
I saw a GT 40 with the 427 engine at a car show in Seattle back in the 60's, 40" tall, so far out of my price abilities that it's sickening, I'd be happy to still own my 51 Ford pickup with the 430 Lincoln engine, a rat rod way before they were called rat rods, that thing made more than a few factory hot rod car owners cry. I loved driving that thing, except it liked Chevron white pump gasoline and it went through a lot of gallons as it only got about 10 mpg. It was my hot rod Lincoln, kind of like the song.
