Cars you would love to own if you were filty rich

[JackBurton]

Do lambos even have v12's anymore? I see only v10 models.

Yea forgot about the Ford GT.

Hell yeah they do!

 

[HAL9000]

They are not. You have to forgive him, he has some issues. On another note the E-Type is still a British car so other than looks it sucks from a reliability standpoint. I helped a guy restore one. It is apparent the cars were hand built. The frame up front is made of 1" tubing that is brazed together. I would not want to be in an accident in one of those.

There's an old joke that goes "Why do the Brits drink their beer warm?....Because Lucas makes their refrigerators". Lucas also made the electrical systems in Jags....and they were pure junk.

There are a lot of British cars I like from a styling standpoint I just would never own one due to reliability issues and extremely expensive parts.

Yep, I agree with almost everything said, but I'd happily own one just for decorating my driveway.

There is no doubt that the E-Type is a gorgeous car, even the hardtop. I just don't have room for all the gorgeous cars so I have to discriminate.

 

[Sluggo]

If I was filthy rich eh? Easy. Deusenberg J. Probably the classiest car ever made, and easily the most gorgeous thing on wheels.

Beautiful car.

One thing some people don't realize until they stand next to one, is that a lot of the brass cars are physically huge, obscenely huge in fact.

i would definitely go for something vintage, like a dusenberg or bugatti

Any wealthy guy can buy a souped up Audi TTS or a Vyron. Vintage/Classic is where it's at, preferably rare.

Take this beauty I spotted parked outside of my work yesterday. Vintage 1958 Edsel Corsair. Only 3,600 of these were made. Wish I had a better camera at the time. Wonder if it's Canadian built. Those are especially rare.

The coupe is very handsome but the convertible is just gorgeous. The 2+2 is ungainly looking at best.

2+2 if you were around then was very hip. Hipper than an Avanti anyway

anecdotally I remember seeing one at a car show in the 80s that had been modded into a snoopy face....

tongue and everything

I personally would seriously would consider my mental health if a Jag was ever an option.


Wife wanted a XJR and I laughed at her...


sorry to hate on jags...

 

[Kaervak]

These are just the tip of the iceberg. So many awesome cars out there, far too many to list.

Daily driver:
Maseratti Quattroporte Sport GT S

Weekend car:
Ferrari 458 Italia

The "I have more money than 10 generations of your family ever will" car:
1934 Packard V12 Victoria Convertible

or

1929 Duesenburg Model J LeBaron

or

A car powered by this monster

And I firmly believe that Maseratti's should only come in black and Ferrari's only in red. Any other color should be punishable by death.

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

Hell yeah they do!

Oh yea thats the newest one, don't think its out yet.

 

[Throckmorton]

A 2nd gen Trans Am with a modern V8 swapped in

Not really interested in how hip it was. I don't think it looks nearly as good as the coupe or the convertible. If I were in the market for an E-Type it would be a coupe or convertible. I wouldn't even consider the 2+2 because I just don't think it looks right.

There is no right or wrong answer here. It's just my opinion...and that's the only one that matters to me.

Solid choices. Has anybody put a Merlin in anything short of a semi? Now I'm going to have to Youtube that. Disagree about the colors, though...it varies by car. You know what I get tired of? Dark blue everywhere. Where's the cobalt blue, people?
