It changes day by day. Current wish list:

Superformance GT40 Mk II, in green with street trim. Built to look like it just dropped in from 1966

Some form of 60's/70's American land yatch. Subtly resto modded. Plaid speed engine, suspension that works. Wheels and tires that look at first glance to be stock.

90's Indy car to run in historics

An Aston Martin

XJR 15

LAnd Rover Defender 110

My C30 but with added AWD and MOAR POWA

an early 997 or 987S in a couple of years

a new S550 Convertible

A '32 Ford, blown Flathead, no fenders, red, black, white, chrome

A late model Merkin muscle car

My lottery car would probably be an all original either 67 rs convertable camaro factory bronze with the white top or an original 69 ss camaro

I forgot a 1976 gmc jimmy high sierra pkge with a 400 sb and no more than a 3 inch lift with 33x12.50s kelly green with a white top

Reasonable? Lets see-
Jenson Healey
BMW 2002 or 3.0CS
Porsche 911 or 912 air-cooled
1969 Pontiac Firebird Sprint w/OHC I6 4-bbl carb, 4-speed
Jag F-type Coupe

for starters

-Buick GN or GNX -Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 or R34 -Mk4 Toyota Supra Turbo -C5 or C6 Corvette Z06 -the new Boss 302 Mustang -Nissan Silvia S13 to S15 -Toyobaru BRRS Thats it for today.

A Lotus or Caterham Seven. I drove a SV 210hp Duratec one a couple of years ago. The used market can be as low as the mid $20k and is a reasonable amount for a bucket list car. Now that we have a baby on the way, it'll most like turn into a 'midlife crisis' car!

at the top is a classic Mini always wanted one and I finally got the chance to sit in one about 5 years ago verifying that my tall/fat self will comfortably fit in one.

some sort of Alfa...

and a british/britishlike roadster... so a datsun 2000, or even a miata would prob please that itch lol

depending on available space and if I had a normal car to drive to work or not, 4 or 5 of the following cars:

Citroen SM

quattroporte III or Aston martin Lagonda

jaguar XJS and/or xjr

range rover classic

rear engine fiat

some kind of small British sports car (early spitfire or sunbeam alpine would both work, or maybe a tvr 280i)

4 cylinder Alfa, preferably other than a spider.

No time or room to keep a classic like it should and that's being realistic so I won't kid myself.

Short list: '11 and up Coyote w/ TrackPack, Charger R/T, Challenger R/T.

If I had time and space to build: LS powered TR-6, LS 240Z, '70 Chevy SWB step side PU, 3.8SC Fiero GT... and a lot more, but that's dreamin'

Just give me the last black / black 3.2 series 911 Carrera (1989) that rolled off the line and I’ll be good-to-go.

Im liking some of the really specific answers. Gotta be a story behind some of them. Like mine with the 76 Jimmy in kelly green. I grew up in a truck identical to that. My dad got rid of it right before my 15th b day. Kinda made me mad and didnt want to go get my permit for awhile. Always said I would have one of those

I really like that car, if they ever put them on a lease deal to move the last of them out it going to be mine. Also I am depressed that it is not even 1/4th of a mortgage payment out here.

It really just proves you're a savvy house shopper.

That blue though. Good god.

Something with a V12 (Mercedes CL600 comes to mind)

Golly, I didn't know an Evo could look understated and decent.
