Talking Cars Tuesday: What was your childhood dream car?

Ferrari F50 was mine.

not the most outlandish or crazy car but I've always wanted (and continue to) a Porsche 911 Turbo

When I was a teenager (late 50s and early 60s), the only real choice was the Vette.  I have always loved the 1957-60 Vettes.  Then, when the 1963 Corvette came along, WOW!  I can still remember seeing it at the Detroit Auto Show in bright red.  Years later, I did buy a used 1964 Corvette coupe and really enjoyed it; great car, very fast and (unfortunately) an unbelievable cop magnet.

I suppose that's why I drive a '99 Camry now

Still want one of those two. 

Orange BMW 2002 tii

OR

White Lotus Europa.  Actually was able to use one for the summer and it was great fun to drive.  I would constantly get pulled over by cops that just wanted to look at it.  Having your date get out of it in a formal dress would drive the car parkers crazy.  I would park it at the local bar under a semi trailer if there wasn't an available parking space.  Never could get the damn thing into reverse.

White T-bird, for some reason....

Aston Martin DB5. White Mustang with blue stripe. Porsche 928 (TINS).

1968 Yenko Camaro

KITT

Now i look at the car, and i want to throw up! lol

What kid wouldn't have wanted the Batmobile?

I grew up in a Toyota family, and one of the baddest things around when I was a kid was the Supra Twin Turbo. They're few and far between, but I'd love to have one. 

Still want one of the McLaren ones but it seems the only way to find one in proper condition is at Barrett Jackson or another auctioneer. 

Lamborghini Countach. Has to be white.

I lived abroad when I was younger, saw a LOT of JDM cars in Asia that we wouldn't dream of stateside. One day, I hope to Grey Market import (It's legal now that it's 25 years old but I haven't the money) a 1993 Skyline R32 GTR. One of my dad's coworkers drove a black one like this and I remember being positively giddy as a kid hearing the engine fire up. I rode in it a couple times and what I would do to have that thrill again.

When I was in high school it was the McLaren F1. Nowadays in my late 30's it's the McLaren P1. I could also PROBABLY live with an Aston Martin DB9 or Audi R8. I guess.

1967 Cameo ragtop. 

I also loved the 1962 & up Chevy II's.  

This may be breaking the rules, but growing up in the late 70s & 80s, I liked a bit older cars. In the unobtainable category, I LOVED the Lamborghini Miura. The Countach is great, but I always preferred the more flowing & organic lines of the Miura. In the more obtainable category, I loved the original Toronado (‘66 & ‘67). One appeared parked in a driveway down the road from my house when I was in HS. It didn’t have a for sale sign, but it didn’t move for a month. I was just about to knock on the door & ask if it was for sale & it disappeared. I also really liked the first gen 2 seater Z cars (240, 260 280, not ZX). There was a ‘76 280Z for sale at a corner used car lot near my high school for $1695. I stopped & checked it out. It had fresh paint but the doors were at least 1/3 bondo as were the front quarter panels. I wondered what else the shiny paint was hiding & walked away.

1968 Jaguar convertible I saw at the auto show one year.

It was absolutely breathtaking.

‘63 split window Vette.

Almost bought a ‘65 for $6000 in the late ‘70s.

But is wasn’t a ‘63.

Now they are worth $70K to $100K

Complete with a chauffeur.....

Black and gold Porsche 911 Turbo with the whale tale and the targa top. Not sure on the year but probably a late 80's model

A red 1992 Porsche 911. I had a picture of one in my room for probably 5+ years and dreamed of owning one for a long time. 

Porsche 959

Mid 90s Porsche 911 Turbo (993). Still so flawless.
