Dream Car?

What would be your dream car? And Why?
Unlimited budget.
Ford or Otherwise

Mine would be:
Dauer Porsche 962 - Prehaps the most extreme car made
and
Shelby Cobra 427 - an original one, just cos they are so cool

Id have to say 67 Pontiac GTO, awesome looking car , just looks like it has a bad attitude from the front. I might actually find part of one, one of these days that i can afford lol, but until then id settle for a Ford GT

1968 Shelby GT500 KR. Beautiful, fast car.
Aston Martin V-12 Vanquish S. The ultimate new car for luxury and performance.
1974ish Lancia Stratos. It's a cool rally car

Would have to be a Citroen traction avant- around a 53' with either black and white or black and red paint. Since, I am no mechanic it better have a modern running gear although. I don't think I am asking for much ,these things sell for around 6-10K just never seem to have the spare coins or the time to track one down. The fifties were definitely the greatest years for cars being works of art. My dream car is atleast realistic.....

Koenigsegg CC8S or CCR. 655hp or 806hp. CC8S is in the Guiness Book for fastest production car ever. Looks bad as hell, plus it has a targa roof for cruising at 245mph.

1970 or 1971 Dodge Challenger. I've wanted one ever since I watched the 1972 movie "Vanishing Point". I actually got to ride in one a few years later and fell in love with it all over again.

1928-1931 Ford Model A street rod, or 1932-1934 street rod, chop top, either an old school flathead v8 or a blown 429.

My next choice would be a pantera with the 351 or the 428 (or was it the 429).
