Some of my other bucket list cars have already been mentioned so I won't bore you. 1937-1939 Lincoln Zephyr Lead Sled. Mild chop, peaked fenders, skirts, air ride, gangster white walls. Realistically will only be able to afford a 36 Ford Coupe.

Being realistic, the 69 mustang convertible I posted earlier I gave to my wife for our 30th wedding anniversary a few years ago. Had a 69 mustang when we started dating in high school. Had a 72 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 when we first got married and a 72 C-10 2wd that both had to go when we had kids. I have a 40 merc 2 door sedan that my great grandfather purchased new in Phoenix that I have had since high school. It's getting painted now, should be wrapped up by the end of the year, want the 40 merc convertible to keep it company in the garage LOL. I have always liked the fat fender fords of the 40's. Once the Merc is done the search will be on for another 71- 72 C-10 that will become my daily driver. I am just a big kid re-living my childhood. Thank god I have a supportive wife who enjoys cars as much as I do.
My sons and I built this 58 for my dad, not on my bucket list since it will come home when my dad is no longer able to enjoy it.

Just watched "The Art of Racing in the Rain" really has me looking for a car for track use and a Golden Retriever. Have a 2015 Mustang GT convertible with a Whipple.

It is a great car but heavy. Thinking about new Vet but to toy looking. Maybe a Cobra kit car?

So many holy grail’s, how do you choose?

Old: 1962 Chevy Bel Air Bubble Top 409/409 4-sp. 100% stock.

New: without question, I make the big time, Porsche 911 Turbo S.

Realistically, I just want to hang onto my 1971 Chevelle and make it more pro-touring.

I loved that car growing up. I prefer it back in it's more original roots. Kinda fucked it up with the land speed aero.
true but that was the pic I found. The original Silver State car was the best. I keep thinking about doing the Silver state in my 72 wagon when it is done, in a slower class.

One of mine is the car I drove in high school and half way through college. 67 Mustang coupe. Still have it sitting out in my shop. I have wanted to restore it for years but time gets away. Probably going to have to do something like call Bones on it one of these days.
Sitting next to the Mustang on one side is the 60 Thunderbird that was the first car I can remember riding in. It was my mothers DD at the time. On the other side is a convertible 60 Thunderbird that is just straight up cool to look at. Both need crazy restoration but are complete. Not sure what to do with either......

The Mustang will not leave while I'm alive. If my wife or son sell it after I'm dead, I'm straight up haunting someone!

They yellow Mustang I have owned since 1995. The 31 Model A Speedster was started by my Father. I finished it after he got sick with cancer. I finished It a couple weeks before he passed. It sets on the Showroom floor.

I don't think I have any real "Holy Grail" cars on my list, I kinda just figure it out as I go along. I wouldn't mind getting a K5, I have owned several and I am always looking at them. I would have never dreamed I would own the cars I do now, in a way these are my "Holy Grail" rides. I ended up taking my '78 Vette to Havasu a couple months ago because I ran out of room here and I have driven it more there. View attachment 1202832

Nice!! I started looking for another RT/TT stealth recently, they’re getting hard to find and prices definitely went up!! Such fun cars.
