What would be in your dream garage?

[GaryMX5]

Another thread got me thinking about dream garages and what cars would be in mine. While I appreciate the exotics and rare foreign collectibles I go back to the cars that impressed me in my youth back in Detroit, were "unobtainium" to me at the time, and are cars I could reasonably maintain myself.
Here's my list, share yours!!!
70 Ford Boss 302 Mustang, 69 Camaro Z28, 70 Barracuda 340 convertible, 70 AMX , 65 Vette convertible with 327 365HP (a plain jane 327 300HP coupe as an option) and naturally all would have 4 speed manuals. My final one actually impressed me the most, a 68 Firebird Sprint with a 250 ci sohc I6 (230HP) with a hurst 3 spd. That car sounded amazing and actually went like stink. I had the opportunity to "ride" in most of these (except the z28.....had to settle for a 69 ss 350 and the Boss 302 but did ride in a 70 Mach I w/ 351 cleveland). I did get to drive the Vette convert. and Firebird. (PS, I have a weak spot for high revving small blocks).

My first car (bought used in 1974 when I was 16) was a green 1968 Firebird with that SOHC 250 six and an A/T. That engine wasn’t GMs best for sure but the fact that I bought it from a lady (who probably wasn’t great with oil changes and other maintenance) may have been a factor.

 

[ripcord]

Oh, how my tastes have changed. In the past I'd probably have said a Pantera but these days I'd probably choose Pablos custom class B motor home.

 

[Astro14]

Well, I was thinking, perhaps a ‘32 Packard.

Maybe a couple of V-12s.

A convertible V-12 would be nice…

 

[Pablo]

70 Chevelle V12 sleeper

Oh please continue.

 

[dippschtick]

Sounds like an Alex Van Halen drum solo

 

[JeffKeryk]

Well, I like the cars I have, but if I had another garage...
66 or 67 GTO, 49 Ford 2 door coupe, bathtub 356 C (or any 911 of course). Don't forget the 69 RoadRunner. Maybe a Z06?

 

[walterjay]

A nice clean turbocharged Corvair would work for me.
