Just wondering what you would have if you could have any vehicle and why.
Problerbly been done before but I am bored.
Mine would have to be a Porsche 356 convertable, in pale lemon, I wouldnt mind even a fiberglass copy, I know its not fast or comfortable but its the vibe, its got class and style not a lot of other cars can match, later porsches like 911's dont do it for me, its the 356.
Its about the only vehicle I would get rid of my bus for.
What would you like and why, be honest and non of these oh well my beetle is the best car crap.
Cheers
Dave

Porsche 550 spyder. Belive it or not replica is my preference, that way I can put a subaru in it for economic efficient daily transport.

I got my Type 224 that's about as good as you can get and need nothing else. Ok a porsche would be nice or a VW rod (just to be different) as shown on some posts here:alien
squizy ·
When I was younger I always wanted a KG. Once I had one I let it go. :cry Now....a 23 Window or a 356 would suffice.
Squiz...
57kombi ·
Looks like the 356 is winning,
I too would prefer a replica, that way I wouldnt be scared to drive it.
O.K.
I'll have one original and one replica.
Not too greedy am I.
Cheers

older porsche 930 without the "factory mod" to stop it going sideways while overtaking:bounce:bounce:bounce
andrewh ·
Does it have to be a VW? I've always had a soft spot for Lotuses. One of the new Lotus Exige 240Rs would do me.

Wife's desire is a nice Type 3 notch or a KG

It can be what your dream car is, from Model T to Lambo's etc.
When I was young, a long time ago, I fell in love with 911's or 930'3 but now I have grown up it is the older cars like the 356 that do it for me.
God I must be getting old.

356 speedster replica either black or silver colour with fuchs wheels with an EJ20T or Turbo type 4 or 2332 with IDAs in the back. On a late beetle pan with the front converted to double wishbones.
and/or a T Bucket hotrod with a huge big block in it 🙂
and/or a Early ragtop beetle with a lysholm supercharger or turbocharger (how about both???🙂 ) Type 4 engine dry sumped, on a late pan with wishbones up front on 996 wheels. Trying to build the body part of that now 🙂
oh and add an early lowlight KG with that too. Black or silver too 🙂 Possibly with a modification to remove the B pillar, dumped with airbags on fuchs or stock two tone wheels with white walls 🙂
bugeyedbabe ·

Dave-your dream car already exists and it lives close to the Bay.It's owned by a woman who has spent almost the National Debt on it. It went thru a few VW shops in Adelaide during it's resto,some ripping her blind.Shane at the Veedubcentre ended up finishing most of it off.I think it's a 64 with a Reuter(I think that's how it is spelt) body,lemon yellow,now sporting an SC engine.She even tracked down an original SC crankcase, crankshaft,heads and manifolds and carbies.She had a roof section with an original electric sunroof imported from the US and fitted during a bare metal resto.The car would probably be one of the best in the world,because it has had every single part on the car restored or replaced inc. the whole front suspension,the trans was fully rebuilt with all new bearings and bits.If you see it in the flesh,you will have an embarrissing event occuring in the front of your pants.
57kombi ·
I would not like to see it in the flesh as your description just made something happen,
I have to go now, will be back in 5 minutes.
Cheers
Dave
bugeyedbabe ·

Without a doubt it would have to be this baby.. Porsche Carrera GT
With one of these purely because they are the pinnacle of luxury cars
Mercedes Benz Grosser 600
With one of these for the daily hack mmm.... GT2, carbon ceramic brakes are sooooo damned sexy. I absolutely lust after this car to the point that its painful, weird I know but its something only other car obsessive freaks understand:cry
aaaaaand on its guts with a ragtop and Autocraft pro turbo running gear.
Supercharged 5.4lt V8 600 odd HP and 800+NM's of Torque.

tarago = vengabus!
my father would love a 69 corvette stingray, as would i. but i have always loved american styling, so id have to say my all time must have one day car would be the lead sled 49 mercury! oooh id love to see one of those babies tear down a drag strip, or cruise down the main street of campbelltown shooting flames and destroying ricers!
carisma ·
mine would be the new prado in black with 5% window tint..and dvd players in the back head rest,,friends just bought one and its so nice $180 to fill up the tanks and they got to sydney and back at christmas,hepas of power and so nice.........colleen

Hmmm, I've already got the 240z. But it's only got an L28 with triple dells.
You've just reminded me how lucky I am.

i love that red caddy...
Doug Sweetman ·
I have several....
Ferrari GT40 - The ultimate sledgehammer supercar, built before blowoff valves and boost control...... hee hee.
Porsche 930 Turbo - the original widowmaker. These cars are PHAT straight fromt he factory, change nothing !!!
And after seeing Top Gear last night, I want an ATOM. They weigh 500kg, have a 300hp supercharged honda civic type R motor, and the only thing quicker around Top Gear's race track was an ENZO. Tiff Needell reckoned he had NEVER been in anything that accelerated so fast. 0 - 100 in 2.9s 🙂
And its open top too !
Doug Sweetman ·
Faster around the track than a CBR 600RR, faster corner speed, heaps better brakes.....
Just Incredible.
Doug Sweetman ·
Oh, and I forgot to say, its only 29,000 pounds brand spankers.
Che Castro ·
yes i love the look of 240z's 🙂
Oasis ·
McLaren F1 by a long shot, then a Koenigsegg or a Pagani Zonda, Then the Ferarris: Enzo, F40, F50, 512BB, Lancia Delta Integrale, Fulvia, Lamborghini Miura, Murcielago, Mitsubishi Evo VIII, Lotus 7, Maserati cigar car, birdcage, Porsche 917. The list is endless...:bounce
Cam ·
Yeah, a Porsche 917K35 would be AWESOME those things when tuned for the canAM races had 1600BHP at 700KG's :bounce
Turbo54 ·
I thought Datsuns were built in the 70's for land fill in the 90's?
If I could have any car it would be a ferrari 166mm. Very Old, Very Rare, Extremely Expensive and there's only about 6 left in the world. They are very famous race cars and had a low cap. V12. They were nicknamed 'little boat' I dont know if this is because they cornered like a boat. The last one I saw for sale went for a little over 2mil. Always been my no.1 but I couldn't go past a GT-40 if offered. Love those old racing cars.
Only kidding about the Datsun, I just sold my 1200ute.

Yes, that’s definitely it. And it wouldn’t even be registered or insured or emissions compliant, because you don’t need to worry about that in dreams. If I got bored I’d go rat look on it, and then totally chrome.

Mate, I saw one of these today at Linfox's collection and they are the most beautiful cars! Saw a '58 Speedster and 300SL Roadster as well among others. Seeing these cars you dream about in the flesh is just amazing! Lucky the place was carpeted, the drool produced may have been dangerous to others!
