My dream car/truck

Don’t recall seeing one IRL, and that may just be a bad angle… But it looks like “just another Dodge” in that pic.
But if it lights your spark plugs, who am I to judge? Oh wait! :laughing:

Pffbbt.

The shot you posted was just a bad angle.

When you get a decent shot, it’s actually a fairly sharp looking vehicle!

Tryna make up, I see… :sunglasses:

Not sure if I ever knew the name for the Auburn, but definitely remember the car!

The Duesenberg is definitely a bad ass classic! And the Cord looks like it could have come out of the same factory! I remember playing with the Hot Wheels version waaaaaaay back when. chuckles

Good stuff in here and love classic cars.

I remember the auto shop next to my business got in a late 50’s to early 60’s Corvette that belonged to Michael Anthony from Van Halen. That classic was just the best looking car I had ever seen, it was silver and so damn clean you could eat your lunch off the engine. That became my dream car and have never forgotten it. These are just pics I got off the net.

Would need that silver though, elegant and mean at the same time.

Was watching Garage Squad the other day on the Motor Trend Channel (use to be Velocity) and they brought a 1950 Ford F3 back to life. Great story of a guy who wanted to get it running again as it belonged to his Grandpa but it sat unused for 30 or 40 years. They kept it patina on the outside to preserve the name of his Grandpa’s business and Damn did it come out kick ass.

Corvette first then a 1950 Ford F3 second just like in the pic. Then I will take a Aston Martin for a daily driver, not to much to ask right? :wink:

Learnt about the Auburn today from American pickers, they bought a not so desirable 853? 6 cylinder but got it running

I was driving along some time ago and this was pretty much running with me. Something took my eye, not sure what. Maybe the way it moved, maybe form, and fit. It is very understated but there was just something about it. I had to pull in behind it and find out what it was.

Along the lines of ‘regular’, non-collectible cars most of us can actually afford to buy and maintain, I kind of like the look of the new Supra. I’ve never bought a foreign car (well, a Mazda GLC once for $200 but that doesn’t count), so I probably wouldn’t buy one, but it looks ok.

It was weird. The body style is not that out of the ordinary. I found myself watching it wondering why. Something was different about this car. I’m not an enthusiast, they’re transportation. I got the name off the back of the thing and looked it up on google. Ahhhhh!!! That’s the difference. The price tag!!

No argument there, the price is nuts. The workmanship was stunning in person though, that’s what got me playing the lotto :grin:

Yeah you guys over there probably wont lol, although Paul Walker did drive one in Fast and Furious 7 :grin: …its a Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico, I had one when I was 21, didn’t look as nice as that though, if you found one as good as that these days it would set you back 50k :tired_face:…and yeah the Nissan GTR would be my daily, love them things :ok_hand::heart_eyes:

I didn’t notice this thread before… I’m late to the party by almost a year lol here’s mine anyway…I need a truck so a Jeep has always been out of the question for me, but not anymore…these are both on 40” tires, or for everyone else in the world 101.6cm tall tires:)

I have seen 2 on the road so far, sick trucks and I heard there coming out with a diesel soon.

They are, I watched an interview with the designer, iirc the diesel will have 400+ ft/lb of torque…I’m drooling as I’m typing lol the rubicon gladiator comes with 33” tires from the factory but they made the spare tire wheel well large enough to fit a 35” tire, the rumor is that 35s will fit a rubicon with no lift… and the doors and top come off just like a wrangler:)
