The Powerball should be up to $120 million on Wednesday. If you won and could buy ONE car in the world, money no object, what would it be?

Mine would be the 1967 Ford GT Mk IV that won LeMans in 1967 :

 

I would upgrade my friends.


Here's what might seem like a dumb question....

Why would you buy the Mk IV?
Would you drive it? Probably not.
Investment? Who needs it with $120M.
Give it a good home for preservation?
Bragging rights?

Not criticizing or picking, just curious.

I'd build a new racecar, get a nice rig, and tour the tracks across the US.

 

Vintage racing...

 

Wow! That's quite an unreplacable piece to be throwing around. Cool.

 

I can't help it, my ultimate car is the Ford GT. I would want metallic blue with silver stripes. Either that or I would find a SVO with T-tops. I'm pretty boring.

 

i would buy mgreene`s collection..

 

Hey Hoss429 He said ONE car not one collection!

I'd like to have Bill Cosby's 427 AC Cobra with dual EVERYTHING!
Although I'd like that GT40 MKIII too!!

Can't I have both pleeeeaase? I have the money, theoretically

 

I would buy every Ford Pinto I could find (it's one car, just a bunch of them) and put them at the entrances of all the auto manufacturers. Reason...to remind them that bad ideas do make it off of the drawing board.

 

i have put millions of miles on numerous pinto`s over the last 35 years and still do ..

 

wow, that's a difficult question, the cosby cobra would be awesome

 

my dream car would have to be built .. a pearl white on white 55 chevy belair hardtop.. i know ... it wouldn`t take a million bucks ..

 

If I had some "spare" money, I'd love to have a pinto just for the nostalgia.

 

i get the same comments from the richest people in the most expensive new cars to the poorest folks who like me still drive them .. they say " i drove one just like that to hi school "

 

My choice today...

Sigh, I am not one of those people.

Speaking of high school...I drove my dad's '64 Fairlane 500 in high school. Sweet ride! Along with my mom's '78 Ford Galaxie 500. I will NOT give my children a car with a V-8 in them. When I graduated (1988), I was the "proud" owner of a doo-doo brown 1982 Datsun 210!! Car life is better now...'92GT, '85 CJ-7.

 

I would have to try one of these for a while

 

This might be a hoot to drive!

 

Hows this for a list of cars over the years. I'm still only 29, I seem to change cars like most people change socks.
79 Notch 4cyl, 4spd, Tan on Tan.(Now you can see where my love for 4 eyes came from.)

76 Ford Maverick 302, C4, 4dr, Baby Blue.

88 Mercury Sable Station Wagon(My moms old car, had 272,000 miles on it when I got it.)

83 Olds 98 Regency Coupe. Ghetto Cruiser, my first venture into GM land.

95 Grand Am GT Coupe, Quad 4 baby, yeah!!!

98 GMC Sonoma, 4.3 V6, 5spd.

98 Pontiac Firebird Formula. The problems I had with this car started my hatred of GM.

95 Buick Riveria Supercharged. I got this car when I married my wife, I still have nightmares about this pile a dung.

78 F150 351M. This thing was a hunk of rust with no heater, and I had to drive it in Northern NY. But it fired up everytime and only left me stranded once.

89 BMW 325i Touring. The autobahn hooptie, I loved this car, and man was it fast.

99 Mustang GT 5spd, I miss this car with a passion, I never should have sold it.

05 Ford Focus ST. The first new car my wife and I bought, it was a great little car.

03 Mustang GT 5spd. Low mileage car that I like but didn't love. I bought it to replace the 99, but it just wasn't the same.

89 F150, 302 5spd 4x4. Great truck, the only reason I don't still have it is because it makes no sense for me to have this and the next vehicle at the same time.

07 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4x4. I LOVE this truck. I plan to drive this thing until the wheels fall off, then I might put them back on and go for few more miles just to prove a point.

86 Mustang GT 5spd, T-tops. One of three Mustangs on my list of Mustangs that I plan to own and keep. I'm still looking for one, and the other has yet to come out.

84 Capri RS Turbo, Currently in disassemble awaiting new floors, quarters, and core support.

84 GT Turbo, T-tops. Currently wasting away behind my garage. It may be up for sale soon.

08 Mustang V6 Pony Package. The wife's new car. Its a nice car but not my cup of tea, the wife LOVES it though.

 

Next to my '92 and CJ, the car I've enjoyed most was my wife's Lincoln LS. That thing was a awesome car to drive! Fun around town but especially nice on the interstate.

 

ok, I think I got it, to bad its not street legal, a mazda 787b

our 84 cj-7 is a blast to cruise around in as well
