The '06 Z06 was pretty badass. For something that I actually might own someday, sign me up. In terms of something that "money is no object", no vette makes MY personal top 10.Wow, i cant believe it took me a few pages to see a Vette. Thats my #1 right there.

Might be the only car that you could put in front of that horrid backdrop and make work.

Ain't Pebble Beach a trip and a half? It's like the pages of the Robb Report come to life in 3D. Originally Posted by guroo270

But nor does it seem a later Hispano Suiza, either....but I'm. presuming something exceedingly rare like that.
Whatever it is, it defines an age when "autos" weren't just transport but grand tapestries upon which the designer applies his art.
I do believe that black 67 or 68 Camaro above looks pretty damn bad ass!!! I've always liked the older late sixties Camaros over the next body style...even over the mythic. '70 1/2 Z-28. Just like I prefer the 1968 Mustang-like Cougar over the too-large Cougars of the early 70s."The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity - it's envy.

'30's Talbot Lago - MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm do want
There's just something about the cars from the 1930's, the way the designers intent comes through visually is so appealing and there's usually so much to look at and appreciate as well as the (usually) simple mechanicals of the cars that makes them so desirable to me.
Boy I just don't know what would be the ultimate dream car. I watch Mecum and Barrett Jackson auctions and as a car comes up on the block I'm all gung ho and want it so much but then the next car comes up and the process starts all over again.
Off to get some $200 million powerball tickets...

^^I think he meant "gold-tone."
AKRover- that Camaro is a '69. The '69s have the sculpted accents that flow from the wheelwells - the '67 & '68 didn't.
I'm partial to the '70-'73 models like the silver one posted. Probably because that's what I grew up with (I have a Firebird -the Camaro's brother - like the one I posted a picture of) and the '70 models had a lot of significant mechanical improvements that make them an all around better performing platform than the '67 - '69 models....Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain...

Isn't that more like 'Dumbness meets speed'? Who knows, they could have had professional stuntmen shaping that jump and landing......but it looked more like pure luck. That (truck could have easily hooked its bumper and landed on its windshield.Pretty wild jump for a bunch of mudders, though. Originally Posted by Bobby Stainless

Not a big vette fan personally but when I was 10 (1988) and the Sledgehammer with 880hp broke 250 in a street legal car I was pretty impressed.

As far as vettes go, only one really does it for me....the 1963 split-window. That one and no other, although I wouldn't turn down a '66. Anyone know why in hell they only made the split-window one year?

I think it had to do with the inability to see out of the rear window.

I parked behind this at my neighborhood gas station the other day. Forgot my phone, but my bro in law had already snapped a shot of it. I would have loved a shot of it with the Jeep parked behind it.

The hat is a British bowler. Lotus designed the engine in the C4 ZR1. I got nothing for the hair plugs. Originally Posted by PNWbrit

Didn't finish up so well.
