Daily driver if money was no object.

I drive a Suburban LTZ, great everyday SUV. I would want another JKU with a Hemi. 40's with Dana 60's.
 
Yes, about 10 examples exist around the USA that have been done exactly as you say. I want to do the same , but with 3 truck roof sections to make the real truck cab brow look.
 
I want another 69 GTO. This time a Judge. I would take a 67 GTO as well. Ooh. Also a Cobra Daytona Coupe. You said money is no object. And that one would take a lot of it.
 
E type Jag, 4.2 Coupe some days, roadster other days. MY scrambler but with a Hemi and all the warts fixed for when I might get dirty. Something non descript when I have to go to town (but with great AC)
 
I know where there's a very nice 71 gto that hasn't been out of the garage since I drove it 5 years ago :( blue with white leather all original convertible 455/4 speed. 44k. Sits next to a 79 trans am with turbo 301/4 speed that is now set up. And next to that a millennium edition Pontiac gran prix got with less than 1k because he believes it will be a collectors car someday. They're all my uncle's. Brings a tear to your eye thinking how much you could enjoy them yet someone has them and doesn't even look at them.

Way too much Poncho power sitting unused. I agree. That GTO sounds like a really nice car.
 
It's pretty sweet. Parked in a garage since he bought it new. We put new tires on it and changed the fluids the last time I had it out. Also had it sprayed with a really good rust protection underneath just in case. I'm trying to convince him to give it to his cooler Daughter and give me the trans am :). He recently had a stroke and I don't think he'd be able to drive either of them any more. His other daughter hates them because she could smell the exhaust. She's a bit uptight.
 
I'd build a Aqualu Pick up truck. Everything brand new. I do actually plan doing this one day. But not everything brand new.
 
My Scrambler is my daily driver...even though getting up in it is quite painful since I injured my hip last month. So I guess I'm driving my dream! But, I really want to get my 81 Scrambler on the road, it will make a better Daily Driver- stock height with a hardtop. Then I want to get the J20 done, and there's 3 daily drivers.

Dream-wise? I'd like to have my 81 Scrambler, my 87 J20, a Jeepster Commando (70-71), a 91 Grand Wagoneer, and a FC170. At some point I'll probably sell my 82 Scrambler to get either the Waggy or the Jeepster.
 
Why the 91 wagon over other years? It didn't really ever change much did it? Still had a carb in 91 didn't it?
 
1997 Porsche 911. Last air cooled model. Need one mechanically sound, but rough enough I don't mind flogging it! Targa please!

Nice choice. I would love a 73 era targa or a 86ish 930 myself.

Yeah, I would enjoy either of those too......

I had the opportunity to buy a 1995 C4 convertible about 12 years back for $13k in good shape, and I passed b/c it was a C4. Still kicking myself


 
I think for a car I'd be interested in a 49-50 Merc with a built Caddy 500 and air suspension. Lead sled with get up and goooo!

Nobody wants a 959?
How about a gull wing Mercedes?

Not a huge fan of the looks of the 959. As for the gullwing, that would be nice too. My dad's friend wrapped one around a tree when they were young and dumb.

I would like a Porsche 550. But are there any left?
 
Given the need to cart Laura around, the first gen WK SRT8 always looked the best to me, but I'd take any of them:

Our budget rental cars at the airport always seems to have scatpack challengers the can't seem to rent. Many times guys flying in have talked them into no charge upgrades (yeah, I can drive a 6 speed). They are a gas to drive. Totally different than a normal hemi
