Okay, the rules are you can't include a Dodge Challenger (too obvious), but you can have 5 other cars, any make or year.

Go nuts.

PS- doesn't have to be stock.

Could only have five cars.

1968 Dodge Charger 500 XX code 426 Hemi,, 1970 Plymouth SuperBird, 440 6BBL. lemon Twist, my 1st car,,1973 Plymouth RoadRunner 340 my 2nd car, my Dad,s 1970 Dodge Polara, my dads 1975 Plymouth Duster with a /6.

Chrysler all the way eh Ed....man Id love that 43 Panzer......

Audi RS6 (with remap) for a daily driver.
2011 Shelby GT500 Super Snake Mustang, 800hp factory option.
1966 Chevelle/ Malibu- 572" block, twin turbos.
Ford Bronco- suspension lift, fat tyres, winch.
1968 Plymouth Roadrunner- 426 Hemi, Dana 60 rear end.

Doesn't have to be stock? Well then, let's try to trim down the list to five cars :

- For a reasonable hot rod, I'd say if a twin-turbo, fuel-injected 904ci Schubek V8 can fit under the hood of an all-steel 1941 Willys body, with a 3-speed Lencomatic, a full tube chassis and decent drag tires, I'd take that.

- For a racecar, an Ariel Atom V8 would be perfect, or a more conventional Porsche 911 GT2 (just in case I want to race on a rainy day).

- For looks, if it can't be a Challenger, it could be a a 1969 Plymouth GTX, or a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T (with a Hemi and a Torqueflite, it's the "looks" car).

- For chauvinism, I'd try a Facel Vega KH500.

Two more empty spots, eh?
I have a sweet spot for the 1965 Cheetah.
The fifth spot would be occupied by a short wheelbase Audi Quattro.

[EDIT] : I just realized I can't even count to 5 anymore. Let's axe the Quattro, then...

1; the Pink Panther mobile
2; any one of Carl Fogartys WSB Ducati's
3; a 71/72 Cutlass 442 convertible, pale metallic blue, white graphics, white interior, 455 W-30 packge
4; one of Don Garlits Swamp Rat top fuel cars
5; an original 427 AC Cobra S/C

Still working on my list .......I have 2 Any year Pantera,or a Lambo ,Countache .....I need to think of more cars ...........so many cars so little time

I know mine will change by the minute but here is this minute's grouping, in no particular order;
my old 1974 pre-production Dodge Ramcharger SE
1970 Hemi Cuda -keisler 5spd, tube-framed street-legal road racer (think more production-looking version of Glenn Bunch Challenger or that bronze colored Silver State Cuda that was going around the web several years ago)
1969 Charger R/T 440+6
1971 Sport Fury III
exoticar such as one of the Koenigsegg cars

and the places to run them and the $$$$$$$$ to store and maintain them

Good start Drew with an early LP400, fantastic design

A second list would include:
Clark Gables Dusenberg,
an Iso Griffo with all modern Corvette running gear,
a '59 Cadillac Eldorado drophead,
....still working on the rest, just SO much eye wateringly beautiful machinery

I need to up me game.

I really need a tuner type car so a Nissan GT R

This was fun reading... What´s with that panzer Raven? Is it launched by a mopar engine? =)

I Go for my Top number one since i was a boy = 2dr -57 Chevy HT for a daily street.. Black paint, wide chrome wheels and big tyres... wideness is most important, so at least 15" but posssible 17 & 18"....
Bright Red interior with a sofa in front so my ´gal can sit under my right arm you know, american graffitti style When more money could be brought in the project, i´ll say airride suspension so it could sit right while cruisi´n the city and park the carshows... And last but not least, a big chrome bloer on top of the engine, i think a modern automatic gearbox of any advice suggestion with low rpm:s... and maybe modified front / rear chassie & brakes if it is possible to run a 50´s chevy in corners aswell(?)

The daily rider to go shopping, i am up with Tim = An black Audi RS6, modified after his suggestions to those roaming 650-750(?) Horses....

Then i want my Black Chally back, with a chassie built for road use, after help & suggestion by Drew & the rest of you... And that 340 stroked down as a -70 T/A.. (I dont remember cui) and a manual 5 or six speed.. And i want it built so that i can drift in the corners and on tracks... drift, not drive...


Then a -69 Dart GTS, black... red interior, sport seats, red rollercase.. hmm, let´s see, i have no straight forward car really, thats because they keep building traffic circles everywhere, instead of the traffic lights (meaning, you should have cars for corners to stand a chance... But pherhaps if i go real fast straight and have big brakes, it´s even out... So a big, mighty twin turbo (stroked 400) 500? with some big brakes from aftermarket... a hravy duty trans and 15" centerline wheels with at least 330mm rubber in back... o, yes- a bright red bumble bee stripe in back.. No, no, no... bright old school flames!

Oh, and last but not least.... A -33/-34 Black 3w coupe Ford, with fenders.... Big, blower big block, modern automatic trans, big, fat tyres in back... and a cozy interior, and black windows all around....


Mmmmmm zzzZZZzzzz, you could always dream... =) I am up with that Chevelle -66 if i don´t find the Dart in right condition... Love those middle sixties HT models...

I believe Ed is kind of straight for originality / stock cars on his list?

Dig that -68 Charger, would you like that stock Drew? I think the appearance of the one going wild in fast & furios would be nice huh?

Well maybe but it is an all wheel drive car and it stuck so well in the corners i almost lost my lunch

But now you gave me an idea for another car..........a drifter..........I will have to think some more so if you smell wood burning you know why

haha... Okay.. I looked at wikipedia, i thought that GTR was among those choosen old japanese classic drifters, but i was obviously wrong.. Have you already droven a GTR btw, or did you sit next to the driver with your lunch? =)

Well, i also feel i want a rear wheel droven car for the drifting, but lot´s of torque and low end power should be enough even for a 4 wheeler... Take a look at this>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs-jAImScms

Got two spaces left on my second list so I would choose a jaw dropping chrome and candy '60's show custom, like a Barris/Roth type creation, wilder the better ............last place would go to a track day car, but as this is dream garage I think I would go for a historic racer, a Moss driven Mercedes, a blower Blentley or maybe a one of Fangio'scars
Have'nt seen anyone choose a Ferrari yet, interestingly.

It was a day I was out at the track and I was testing a lemons car for a later date it was a Nissan Altima stripped , full cage, and not very fast , so I get out after my laps and the guy asked me if I could ride (he needed someone to write down the engine management numbers, his buddie was feeling sick ) so me not knowing very much about this car( LOOKS LIKE A SKYLINE) I jumped right in, and the first corner I found out why his buddie was sick,we hit 140 mph passing everybody,and I asked if he had tweaked this car?'YEP WE DID A TON OF STUFF",

well after 5 laps and my stomach in my mouth I told him oil temp was 270F way to hot so he got off the track and explained that the car gets to hot(humm I wonder why) he said the car dynoed at 500 plus hp,one hell of a car if it can stay together NOT THE BEST LOOKING CAR EITHER!the front looks like this emotocon

Hey Drew... A GTR would be a great replacement for my worn out old Sentra.

haha, alright!

But you still want a GTR? (due to the fact you doesn´t like the look?) =)

Naaah, i am not so happy in these japanese cars at all... that GTR did´nt look so nice, but sounds like a killer at track... =)

Yea I am not really in to the Asian car look either but I think I will add this to my list
