Money no object car collection

[jarigi]

For many, many years my 3 favourite, money no object cars have been Ferrari 250GTO, Jaguar D type (short nose) and Ford GT40. All super fast, super beautiful and, at a pinch, road legal!!! (and SUPER expensive now)

Whatever I can fit an 8' 2x4 fully inside of and not worry about ripping a seat or dinging the paint.

Any pickup will do. You can get a crew cab, so the entire family will fit comfortably. The bed is a short bed, but a ratchet strap will hold down any lumber in the bed

I was envious of Thor's Land Cruizer, but now I'm leaning towards a G-Wagon: https://youtube.com/shorts/pEcV4XRsbKI?feature=share

Remember 40 years ago- Seeing a 1971 Monte Carlo 454 with a 4 speed. I like different

Sixty years ago, my Latin teacher had a Jowett Javelin.
His students thought it was a great car. He wasn't so sure. It could be unreliable.

Next would be a 69 -70 Shelby Convertible -Stick

 

[SmokeInMyEyes]

1936 Ford cabriolet (my dad's first car)
1958 VW convertible (my first car)
1962 Porsche 356B Super cabriolet (my first sports car)
1959 Fiat-Abarth 750 Zagato "double bubble" (wife's raceday grocery-getter)
1962 Lotus Elite Super 105 (just to admire)
1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta (since money is no object)

^^^^^^^
The list starts quietly but builds into an exciting crescendo! Nice list!

Have to add to my list the 3.8 Jaguar E-type


62M, just here to trade beads.

 

[SmokeInMyEyes]

If I'm being really greedy, I'd like my Berlinetta to also have a bit of provenance, such as the ex-Rob Walker car driven at Nassau by Stirling Moss or the SWB Denise McCluggage drove to a GT class win at Sebring.

Also, when I was in high school a guy in Saginaw named Martin Tanner built a series of H Mod sports racers powered by Saab two-stroke triples. I'd love to have his T-3 or T-4, complete with the 1960 Morris Minor Traveller "woodie" and trailer he used for transportation to and from SCCA races in the early Sixties!

 

[CurvyCountryGyrl]

If money were on object as well as space I'd love to start a museum of famous cars and movie cars I love as well as just general amazing vehicles. It may be basic but I think it would still be awesome!

Supernatural Implala
Paul Walker Blue GTR34
Han Orange and Black RX7
Ghostbusters Cadillac

Some of the non famous ones:
69 Chevy Camaro
91 Honda Prelude
Nissan GTR35
70s Model Truck but new internals

Not having read the whole thread, no Volvo included in any list?

There's a P1800 mentiond early on.

I've had a Volvo 740, three 940s but what I would like is a delimited 850R estate - looking like a standard big Volvo esatte but capable of 185+ mph (and single figure MPG at that speed.)

A couple of years ago thaere was an 850R for sale about ten miles from me, low mileage at a price I could afford. But I doid a search for insurance. For an ancient with 35 years no claims - almost five figures (about £9,750) a year comprehensive.

Oh, guessing that is the James Bond one lol

No. The P1800 was used by The Saint. James Bond used Aston Martins.

 

[Stockholmblondie]

Ah, but I was close lol

My father bought a Gray Volvo Amazon (122S with overdrive), after one overtook our crappy little Ford when it was struggling up the slopes in the Swiss Alps.

I inherited it, and kept it cherry for thirty years, but had to sell it when I needed money.

Money no object, I'd buy it back.

I was crawling up Porlock Hill in first gear in my Morris Oxford MO, when I was overtaken by an Austin Sheerline towing a caravan. I have always faniced owning an Austin Sheerline since then.

Austin Sheerline

Had to Google that. Wow, what a sexy lady she is.

Handles like a pig with three legs and the dashboard is a horror. It is better to sit in the back while someone else fights the beast.

New cars now are loaded with long lists of crap I don't want. Stripping all that out to make a bare bones driving machine could be a money no object project. Maybe I would like a Mini Cooper, minus the crap.

 

[Nicefella]

Ferrari Quattrovalvole
