This:
Next on my list is an Alfa Milano.
I never find them when I am looking to buy a car, but the seem to be around when I can't purchase another vehicle. I desperately want on though.
I'd love a Maserati BiTurbo as well.
'63 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso
'35 Talbot lago T150 coupe (replica woudl be fine)
Aston DB9
My '63 Comet convertible done.
My E38 with the supercharger and 6 speed manual conversion.
That'd do for now.
Realistically? In order of likeliness:
Nothing revolutionary. I know it might as well be the pics on my wall in high school, but hey - I guess some things never change.
1G CRX HF for daily appliance.
Turbo D16 1G CRX Si for weekend fun (in the works.)
Sub $1k Greasel Mercedes (just so I can say I did it.)
Old Mopar. Nothing fancy. Dart? Duster? Valiant? Grandma Green or Doo-doo brown, eventually a 440 Crate resto-mod? I desperately feel the need for something with a V8.
I'm really starting to get a yard on for the MR-S every time I see one.
Oh, and a baby blue 914 for mamma, cuz she thinks they're "cute."
With ten cars... you could have a lot of variation...
Winter DD/Dirt roader - WRX STI w/ some rally mods
Summer DD 2 Seater - Porsche Boxster S w/ PDK
Tuner special - hopped up version of current car: 2007 350Z - LS7 swap, fender flares, 275/40R18 Front 305/30R18 Rears, etc. Real monster.
Track car - That 500HP Ariel Atom of awesomeness.
Hauling Duty (family) - Mazda 5 w/ Mazdaspeed3 powertrain & suspension, custom exhaust/tune
Hauling Duty (Cargo) - Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 w/ some ridiculous diesel turbo swap.
Off-road - Ford F150 Raptor with that ridiculous new engine
Sleeper - re-badged BMW E36 M3 (as 325i) Sedan w/ 335i powertrain tuned to produce 450HP, with slicks on basket-weave look forged aluminum wheels
Supercar - Ferrari F430
Restomod - Corvette Stingray w/ LS9 hardware.

I actually have a milano, and it is my only car right now. Its actually pretty easy to work on once you figure out how to do something the first time. The only parts that seem to be a problem to get are window regulators, other than that its not too hard ot keep one running.

If you want a cheap one, I know where you could get one for $300 if you wanted to come to cali to pick it up. You would have to decide about it soon though. lol http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/milano-75-1987-1989/151993-200-milano-gold-sale-san-luis-obispo.html
Boxster S with 3.6L swap, 3pc 18" BBS RX, 996 GT3 Mk1 front bumper/side skirts, GT Silver paint

The DB9 has the greatest chance of anything that I currently have looked at, but I plain don't fit in the hardtop ones.
I would love a Atom but I would totally kill myself.

1:
+
Car: ('72 RA21) Repair rust, GC'd AE86 front struts, 1st gen supra rear end, get friend of bro-in-law's to make some FG fenders and hood. New fuel cell, replace shoddy cage (angle iron for a seat brace/belt bar?!). Newer seat, new belts. Find new doors.
Engine: (210 Block, 270 head 18RG) 9.7 stock bottom end, custom baffled pan. Repair and build the 270 head with 210 cams and the 270's dual valve springs. Custom aluminum intake mani for GSXR 750 TBs. MS&S shenanigans. TRD exhaust with GSXR stock can (Just to see if it even sounds alright cause it's there).
2: Westfield XI with Suzuki G13B engine.
3: 240Z w/ L28ET?
4: MKII Supra with turbo'd 5M-GE
5: '93 Suzuki Alto Works RS/R (AWD Kei car. I'm Canadian, I can get away with it
6: 1940's Dodge M37 with late model 5.9 Cummins drive train.....hell, maybe just throw the body on the frame...Add a nice trailer.
7: Opel Kadett Coupe (Or just a Chevy Chevette with the Opel front grafted on. Same T-Body afterall). Total suspension rebuild, 'Zuki H27A V6 engine. Caged, stripped and flared. Course...it might just be easier to tube frame it...
8: Dodge Demon 340
9: Lotus Carlton
10: Volvo Amazon. Unsure of how I'd mod it, but I want one!
Let's see...I'll do this list in order of interests at this point. These would all essentially rotate through my beater project spot in my driveway (currently occupado by the Neon).
VW Golf/Gti. (any color but black)
Subaru Impreza 2.2L wagon (any color but black)
MGB (some sort of early 70's ochre)
Volvo 122s wagon, pea green
Datsun 510
Civic CX hatch (midori green)
Alfa Romeo GTV6
BMW 2002
Toyota MR2 Spyder
Mazda MX-5 (NC)
2003 SVT Cobra
Delorean DMC-12 w/Porsche 997 GT3 3.6L engine (hey this is a dream list so why not?)
91-96 Buick Roadmaster wagon; white with wood grain, 383 w/ 8-71 blower through the hood, mini tub, mickey thompson E/T street radial... i would have too much fun with that.
Ariel Atom (either supercharged 4 or the 500 dont care)
'87 GNX
Aston Martin DBS- Sex on wheels...
'71 Challenger 440 Six-Pack
My current F150 given the Foose treatment-that guy could make an aztek desirable...
Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe- every garage needs a luxo-barge
10-1,000; pretty much everything else shown on 'Super Cars Exposed'
Ok, im out to buy a lotto ticket now...
1965 ford ranchero + 6.0 powerstroke + manual + ford 9" + heavy duty springs = tow machine
1965/6 mustang coupe + ford truck 300 ci straight 6 + 2 turbos + megasquirt + full Steeda suspension = awesome track monster
1992 fox convertible + esslinger performance 2.3 + well set up suspension + stripped interior = EP solo car Add a 600ish HP LSJ, full carbon bodywork, and a huge wing, and have fun winning in XP
Ferrari 288 GTO
997 Twin Turbo 997 GT3 996 GT3-RS '88 M5 '91 M3 Evo2 '95 Audi RS2 Avant '88 323 GTX '95 M3 lightweight '84 Audi UrQ with the 20v motor in it
Ten cars? Urm, I'll try...
1)'87-93 Mustang Notchback with full GR40 suspension
2)'98 Camaro Z/28
3)Mk I MR2, supercharged
4)Clean '87 AE86 GT-S hatch.
5)N/A FC with a properly rebuilt engine
6)P71 with a positive displacement supercharger.
7)3rd gen Celica GT. I don't know why, but I've always wanted one. Don't want the Mk 2 Supra, don't want the GT-S with the IRS, I want the 22RE, a 5-speed, and the stick axle.
8)S2k. Driving one for about 5 minutes it seemed like everything I liked about RX-7s with nothing I didn't.
9)'40s Mercury, slammed, with some huge Caterpillar turbodiesel cranking some insane amount of boost. I think this would weigh something like 7,000 lbs, but I don't care. This would be the manliest car on the planet, and the mere act of sitting in it would cause you to sprout chest hair and grunt like Tim Allen. There would be laws passed that it would have to drive equal amounts east and west each day just so it didn't change the rotational speed of the planet.
10)I don't know, I'm still fantasizing about #9. Urm, a locost, I guess.
I have many I'd like, but here are a few:
Volvo 1800 Porsche 914-6 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE Ferrari F40 Porsche 930T Mercedes 500E BMW E34 M5 AMC Javelin Volvo TP21 Radio car (pictured below for clarification)
