What vehicle[s] would you buy if you won the Lottery?

[project510]

I've seen this thread pop up on a few of my automotive forums and its always fun to see everyone's different taste. Im assuming that would be even better on a forum like ours because maybe those "vehicles" would be other machines and not just cars/trucks.

Ill go first to start us off. Cant wait to see all of your "I wish I had a billion dollars" vehicle wish lists!


My every day car - R34 GTR V-Spec II Midnight Purple





The weekend family trip car - 1952 series 62 Caddillac





The Camping rig - AEV Prospector





The father/son time attack track/competition car - Sayamax R32 GTR





The track day with the boys car - Ferrari F40 competizione



That's all, nothing too crazy! LOL

My dream cars.

[tcoat]

I would go nostalgic and buy up the cars I owned in the past. Or at least as close I could get and all would be in better shape than when I owned them!




My actual car at my wedding came up in my Google search!




And with that much money I would have a new (well old) fishing boat.

Love the R35, interesting you chose the newest version. Don't see that often. Also the new 4Runners look so tough! Im in the market for a Tacoma because I need the bed, but the 4Runner has been my favorite of theirs since I was a kid and my uncle brought home a new Red 85 4Runner.

All Lovely choices! I LOVE  THESE VANS! There is an Orange one in my neighborhood somewhere. I see him driving it every so often in good weather. And they pop up randomly at my local good guys show,

I did! Of course I am surprised I had not commented on it. I remember it was one of the first builds I saw when I joined here. Great work!

Well that is exactly how I would build one if I could. Mind you just buying the vintage posters alone would probably cost more than I paid for the whole van back in the day.

69 Boss 429


62 Ferrari 250 GT


1964 Shelby Daytona


And the list goes on...

[mach7]

Hmm, I'll have to think a bit.

Is this a $10 million, $100 million, $1 billion lottery?

[406 Silverado]

All REALLY cool rides fellas. I like that Shelby Daytona!! WOW!!

For me it would be one of each of these:

1993 454SS Silverado (and give the engine / transmission the works)



1992 Mustang LX 5.0 in Emerald Green



And a 1970 Corvette Stingray in Bridgehampton Blue (only with a 454 instead of a 350)

Also going the nostalgia route?

There was a day that I would have had a massive list and although what I posted here isn't all inclusive it is what I now would want the most. I am more than happy with my current DD and doubt I would change that even if I had more money but boy I would love to have some of my oldies back again. The thing is that those oldies are now incredibly expensive so are out of reach. I would also need to spend several of those millions on a place with garage space to store my treasures.

All excellent choices!

A 1982 DeLorean, with its entire electrical system replaced with reliable hardware, out with the PRV engine, in with an electric drive, but no need for 1,000 HP.  Mod cons limited to unobtrusive exterior all-round view cameras and auto-park.  The original car was labeled a "boulevard cruiser" by a journalist, and I am totally OK with that.

For an impractical play car, a Ferrari 330P4.  I can make beady eyes at the GT40s on the track as they blow past me.

I tuned up the engine on one of these (or one very similar to it) many years ago and of course I had to test drive it.  Spaghetti gearshift but boy howdee could it corner. 

[reserve]

379 Peterbilt or a Kenworth W-900 with a 15 speed RoadRanger and a Cat 3406 is probably where I'd start

But is does not require 1.21 GW of power.

[TJ]

I'm not much into the newer vehicles. I prefer musclecars. But I would take a new Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye.

The others would be

71 Hemi Cuda
70 Hurst Olds
70 Chevelle SS 454
63 Corvette
70 Torino GT
69 Charger
70 Superbird

My Sunday drive car was between the Caddy and and a 58 Vette! Until My son is old enough to drive his own car, Id go with the caddy. If it were just the wife and I.. it would 100% be the Vette! What a beautiful machine!

Wow what a great experience.  I read that the 62 GTO that ran at Le Mans sold for 51.7 million last year... so better be a big lottery win!

Before the war,maybe the Russians would have sold me a Mig 29

I would only want to have one that I had ln '63. It was a '60 Chevy Impala Convertable, red with a white interior and top, long continental kit and turnpike cruiser skirts, 348 with trip 2's, cam and solid lifters. Tough on gas but drove like a dream. I got a chance to blow the cobwebs out one night but only succeeded in blowing the engine all over the road. Too many cobwebs I guess. Had a cousin come, with a shovel to pick up all the pieces, and tow me home. It was a georgous land yacht. Saw one like it at a show once, but the price was way over my head.

Stay safe.
