Hmm...

1987 Buick Grand National comes to mind first. I also like the BMW 740 series (anyone seen Ozzie's 745 in the Ozzbornes series? Luxury). 1970 Pontiac GTO would probably be my ultimate dream car.

Yeah? As far as sports cars, I like the Murcialago and the 360 Modena Spyder. But I'd take a cherry, heavily modded 69 442 over either one any day.

I have a lot of dream cars...

1958 Plymouth Fury "Christine" replica
1969 Dodge Charger R/T w/ a 426 Hemi painted like the "General Lee"
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS-454 w/ the LS6 450-horse 454
1971 Plymouth Hemi-Cuda Convertable like the one in Nash Bridges
1973 Chevrolet Chevelle SS-454
1976 Chevrolet Laguna S-3
1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442
1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am "KITT" replica
1984 Pontiac Grand Prix modified w/ a 375-horse 5.7-liter LT1 and 4L60E overdrive transmission

How about Jay Leno's 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado? God what I wouldn't give to have that engine and drivetrain in my Monte Carlo.

But I think I'll stick with my 76 MC. I love her and will take her to the grave.

1957 Chevy Belair 2dr Hardtop , tweaked, by me of course. I think I've thought about it quite a bit.

Engine:
Biggest Iron BBC chevy I can get my hands on
Forged internals, 9:1 CR
Mean set of Aluminum heads
Nasty thumping cam
An intercooled 8-71 Blower running about 7Psi
Duel 950 Holleys
And the icing on the cake, a 150-200HP NOS blower setup

Drivetrain:
Tremec 6-Speed
11" clutch
Aluminum driveshaft
Built Ford 9" with some high 3.08 gears

Exhaust:
Long tube headers
True Lakeside pipes, no mufflers.

Suspension, and wheels:
Tubular front upper and lower contol arms
Complete AirRide w/ Shockwave Bags and rear 3 link
Raked forward stance
American Racing Torq Thrust Ds in rear, 16x10 wearing DOT M/T
American Racing Torq Thrust Ds in front 16x8 w/BFGoodrich Z rated tires

Brakes and steering:
11" front Disc conversion
11" rear Drum upgrade
standard brakes, no power
12:1 quick ratio gearbox, also no power

Interior:
All black Vinyl
Stock rear seat
Some nice buckets in the front
AutoMeter gauges in stock locations w/ some in the custom center console
Manual windows and locks

Exterior:
Stock trim with 5 exceptions
210 silver fender louvers, 210 silver grille insert, 210 front and rear silver V's, and no rear fin insert
No body mods
Flat black base, old skool traditional flames, fading from white to yellow to red w/blue pinstripe
Red spider web in rear fin insert area

Odds and ends:
Dual tanks, stock location, stock tank and 10Gal. fuel cell in trunk
Full size spare in trunk
Small tool kit in trunk
Decent sound system, no woofer though
Flame thrower kit
Mini tubbed
Air conditioning

I figure I could make 4 digit HP numbers on the spray and running C16 fuel, just barely. On 93 pump it should be good for about 750-800HP with just the blower. I want the car to be intimidating, mean, evil, sadisitc and merciless towards other cars on the road. Matter of fact even when it's sitting in the parking lot it should have that I can kick your *** attitude.
