Other Weird Cars you want to own

What else doyou want besides an SVX?

I want to get a Dodge Omni GLHS. I think those are sweet. It's a dodge omni (yep, the 80s POS) tuned by Shelby, and it has a turbo and everything!

With a mild engine swap (from a Lebaron GTC) it'll run high 12s, low 13s all day, still have AC, power everything, and get 35mpg.

AWESOME!

1) Lamborghini Miura,
2) Citroen DS-21
3) SAAB Sonnet II
4) Corvair Monza Spyder (turbocharged)
5) Studebaker Avanti

If that list isn't far out enough, I don't know what is !

I thought that this thread was for weird, far out of the mainstream cars.

early 90's BMW 850iL (the one with 6 speed transmission)
R35 Skyline GT-R
Subaru Legacy B4
Mil Spec Hum Vee
Custom Jeep deal to go off road and haul stuff (more realistic than the hum vee)

My list of cars that I promised myself I will own one day is currently down by one...the SVX.

Here are the rest:

Porshe 928
C-5 Corvette
Last generation RX7
'47-'49 Chevy pickup street rod

Those that I will try to own if the right opportunity knocks:

3000GT VR-4
Miata (with a twin-turbo rotary swap...muahahahah!)
Mercedes CLK500 Coupe
Mercedes "S" Class
Porshe Boxster

Of course the lists above are subject to change at my whim.

1. Morgan (any 60 year old car that can blow the doors off 90% of the modern sports car comp is a definate must have

).

2. Lotus Europa (Ditto)

3. Triumph Spitfire (Bye-bye Miata)

4. Subaru FF1 (just for racing in vintage class).

5. TVR Speed 12 (even though they aren't gonna build it. 1000 hp in that frame would be lethal).

#9 07-02-2003, 07:12 AM

I'm selling a TR-8!

So it's got the engine of the Morgan. the Triumph label and as far as the TVR thing, well it's made in the same country...

Interested?

Yeah, I saw your post a while back. Wish I could but I'm not allowed to have any more cars and currently I'm not looking to get rid of anything.

#11 07-02-2003, 07:23 AM

how much are you selling that TR-8 for?
Also i have a car to put on the list:

Peugeot 505 turbo or the V-6 Those cars haul big butt

A beat up ice cream truck?

Andy · #13 07-02-2003, 03:04 PM

Keep trying lads, but you can't beat my Honda!!

Kurt_W · #14 07-02-2003, 05:00 PM

LarryIII: theres a place about 30 miles from here that generally have a couple of Avanti's for sale...

Andy: Do you have any pictures of your Honda? I consider myself pretty knowledgable of most Hondas, but yours is outside my range of knowledge. I'd love to see it, or at least see a name I can use to look it up with

As for cars I'd like to own that are odd:
Lotus Elan (just about any)
Lotus Elise
Lotus Europa (see a trend?)

Toyota Celica GT4 Alltrac turbo

Jensen CV8

Ferrari GTO (yeah right)

Just about any MG equipt with a SC'd S2000 drivetrain

I'm sure there are others that aren't popping to mind at the moment but this is enough.

Subafreak · #15 07-02-2003, 05:31 PM

SVX for starts.

I'd like a mint BRAT of any year.
A 360 Van or Pick up.
Ya an FF-1 would be cool too.
a 72 Caddy Herse with big crome wheels, hydralics, and a coffin for a speaker box.
A VW Swimmwagon and Commanderswagon.
