Kenny,Read this and drool <br /> http://money.cnn.com/2003/08/01/pf/autos/duesies/ <br />Imagine, 25 of them Duseys in one spot. I wouldn't mind having one, but unfortunately I don't yet have the seven figure income necessary to purchase one.<br />If I did have that kind of cash, I would also have a 1954 Mercedes 300SL, a Ferarri (pretty much any model), 1969 GTO Judge, and a Silverado 3500 series (them Duseys don't have that high of a tow rating )

Re: MY dream car?

All great cars, thats for sure!<br /><br />For me, it would have to be one of the classic muscle cars. A 1970 Buick GSX Stage 1. 455 - Big Block, 350 HP. In the classic Saturn yellow color.<br /><br />For those not familiar with this one, I believe it was only offered in '70 and '71 with the GSX package. Again, I believe under 800 of these were produced in '70, and even fewer in '71, so, a pretty rare find.<br /><br />The body style was based on the late sixties Chevelle's, so Mellow, you would probably love this one. <br /><br />I had a basic '72 Buick Skylark 350, that had a similar body style.<br /><br />I have seen pictures elsewhere, do a search on google to find them.

Re: MY dream car?

know it well carp, grandma had a 71 GS convertable<br />metallic green on white. cried the day she gave it<br />to my older sister...

Re: MY dream car?

Yeah, I hear ya Mellow. My wifes grandmother had a '72 Chevelle Malibu convertible that had under 40,000 original miles. She sold it back in the early nineties, when I didn't have any money. (not that I have any money now either).<br /><br />Man that car was nice.<br /><br />I think the GSX Buick was just a fancier model of the GS Buick.<br /><br />I wouldn't be picky, I would take either one.

Re: MY dream car?

the GS had a 350hp carp, so maybe the diff.

Re: MY dream car?

Hey Carpy,<br /><br />You should look for a 1970 Buick GSC Colorado or California!<br /><br />Its the same car as the GSX, just rebadged either Colorado or California.<br /><br />If my memory serves me correctly, only about 500 Californias were built, and approximitly 150 Colorados.<br /><br />These cars were rebadged by the local dealers, not the Manufacturer, but are reconized by Buick as being a different model.

Re: MY dream car?

I had not heard about that before Kenny. Sure is a sweet ride, ain't it.<br /><br /> I'm savin up my $ so someday I can buy one of them suckers.<br /><br />If I could talk the wife into spendin the kids college money, then I might be able to buy one sooner.

 

[KennyKenCan]

Re: MY dream car?

Yeah Carpy,<br /><br />There was a bit about the Colorado's and Califonia's on SPEED CHANNEL's "My Classic Car" with Dennis Gage.<br /><br />You should be able to catch a rerun of that program soon, because thats all that channel does, keep reairing shows, over, and over, and over...~

Re: MY dream car?

KennyKenCan:<br /><br />I saw the link you found on Google, I clicked on it and it came up not available! So I do not think you did anything wrong if you tried to click on it!!<br /><br />Ladyfish:<br /><br />Just restored a 61 corvette last year for the Boss! I always thought i might build one of these when I retired! Now that i have finished it an put about 200 mi on this car myself just getting it all sorted out, I really do not like it all that much! <br /><br />1. It doesnt fit me!<br />2. It drives like Poo!!<br />3. It rides like Poo!!<br />4. For a woman, not having power steering or power brakes, you wouldnt like it! Pretty to look at though!!<br /><br />Mellowyellow:<br /><br />We have one of those in the collection! A roadster though! It was just judged #1 in the world! (Ya you heard me right) Unfortunatly I cant take any credit for that one though!<br /><br />Ive got to get around to getting these pictures into an album!<br /><br />LubeDude

Re: MY dream car?

2005 Ford GT-40.<br /><br />0-60 in 3.3 seconds (in first gear).<br /><br />200 (estimated) mph top end.<br /><br />Just blew the doors off the best that Ferrari and Porsche had to offer in the Car and Driver super car shootout. All catagories--$50K less to boot.
