Either a 429 Cobra or a Vector W8. My kid brother (AKA "moneybags") picked up a semi parted out W8 for $35K. It took him less than 6 months to find and have installed, all the missing parts, new paint and interior. The little twirp sold it to the CEO of his company for $210K.

3 of them, to make 2:
A 1956 Chevy, red/white, white leather interior, white carpet, full custom job, chop, channel, 4 wheel independent suspension, turbocharged small block, and a hood like a corvette, where it all tips forward.
A 1956 Chevy pick-up to match the car, with white bed and mohagony wood rails, 4 wheel independent suspension, 4 wheel drive, full custom job.
A 1956 Chevy Nomad (wagon) chopped at the beginning of the windshield, in otherwords, removing the entire front clip. Seal it up, gut out the floor pan, axles, gas tank and interior, and tossing a trailer hitch on it. It would match both others and be pulled by the pick-up. Full interior, captains chairs up front and full entertainment system inside.

1970 Pantera GT5 with 351C.
1970 Buick 455 GS Stage 2 (stage two had the aftermarket intake, carb, and other goodies under the hood)
1970 Hemi 'cuda rag-top painted Plum Crazy.
1969 AMC AMX with 390 Go-Pack.
And to haul them ALL around,
2004 F-750 4 door with 5th wheel, conversion truck and 250 hp Cat diesel, all hauling around a custom double deck enclosed trailer. Yeah...they would be trailer queens.

My dream car would be a 1971 Pontiac GTO Judge in orbit orange with a black vinyl top. It would have a 455 H.O. engine and a 4-spd trans. It would have dual exhaust with glasspacks, and it would be jacked up a little in back. Pure American muscle!!!

Probably a Type 57C Bugatti with a body from Gangloff, or if I wanted a driver that could pull SuperDuties out of a mudhole, I'd want a Bugatti Royale (six left in the world) which has a 12,763-cc, eight cylinder, twin cam, 300hp @1700rpm engine, 169 inch wheel base and a hood the length of a Crown Vic.
