I've been wanting one for a while. I think we'd better get on it, I see original examples being worth a ton of money in the not so distant future. Even the early 260's before the bumper change, but they will have to be bone stock original _________________ Stop dead photo links! Post your photos to The Samba Gallery! |

Growing up my dream car was always a 1955 or 1956 Ford Thunderbird
But now I think it would be a 1955 Studebaker Commander
or both... |

Forgot that I had posted this here, was just scrolling through and found my old post. Since then I've bought an extremely clean '87 Tsi. Kept it for a year and put about 18,000 miles on it. Great handling car, really fun to toss around. I found another car that I wanted so I sold the Conquest and bought a '77 Celica GT liftback.
The Celica.
Hoping to build it similar to this, but painted Anthracite Gray with Brick Red interior.

If I lived in a very rural area with nice paved backroads with no traffic..........
No doubt I would love a brass era T as a occasional driver.

Sorry no photos , I do not know how to steal photos on line.
Anyway mine would be a 1969 Javelin AMX with a 390 -- 4 speed with Daytona wheels and green in color with a Matt black hood.
Or a Ferrrari SWB berlinettta ,any color would be fine and a competition model would be better.
Something more VW'ish would be a Puma or an SP2.

A real one, not because they're cool or anything. Just because it's easy to get to stuff when you open the bonnet.
Guess I missed my chance at Jerrys Blue barf mobile for 5.5 bucks _________________

I know the shop owner. He bought #27 from my uncle almost 30 years ago after my uncle had it for 25+ years. I guess it's taken the place of Jerry's barf blue Spyder because he owns it now. |

Of all the cars that are listed & no one has mentioned my favorite automotive wet dream, the Holden Efijy.

Happy to see input from my fellow Studebaker fans. Still kicking myself from not getting the '63 R2 4-speed Wagonaire on eBay several years back. Here's a sweet R1 automatic:
