Porsche Carrera GT--silver over red, Ferrari 288 GTO--red, Ferrari 250 GT California (that is the one Ferrari I would want in a color other than red ... silver over red), '89 911 Turbo--Guard's Red over black, 1973 2002tii--Inka over black, 1989 M3, Henna over black or Diamantschwarz over pearl.

Oh--you just wanted one? :-) Okay, the Carrera GT.

Do you know about Tom Yang's website dedicated to his 330 America? It's not a 250, but it's still a pretty good read.

My current dream car is a Porsche 914-6. I think I'm going to sell my vw fastback next summer to try to get a 914, but probably not a 6. Either that or a motorcycle.

Code: Select all

Is that a '68 or '69 Charger? One of my high school buddies had a '68, we double dated to the senior prom in that car. It was a neat car except it only had a 318 in it. Now, his brother-in-law had a Charger with a 440...that thing could move. 


That is a '68. I saw my first one when I was 6 and fell in love. Never got over it.

Ford Pinto? That was my first car. I bought a '76 in '80 and drove it to NYC. It turned out to be a great commuter car. When I headed
for the Holland Tunnel, EVERYONE got out of my way. Scared of the BOOM!

Speaking of wierd,

Just say you were a European manufacturer of aircraft during ww2... When the war is over, what do you do? Well, in the case of BMW, you make cool cars. In the case of Messerschmidt, you make cars that look like.. Well, like aircraft cockpits.

Not my dream car, but I'd love one for a laugh.

My dream car would have to be a E49 (not BMW) Chrysler Valiant/Charger with the 265 and triple carbs. 302bhp.

Im not sure..but i think the charger is reffered to being: "The best car, never to have won at bathurst" or something like that.

I used to have a 79 valiant, we dropped a 265 in it..and it was quite quick! heaps of torque...it was 4.2 litres LOL and was supposed to be a Truck motor in the US.
