Dream car?

I can add explosions to top the thread off but I'm already experiencing that in the worst cars ever thread with the videos posted of Pinto's getting hit from behind.

I really don't have any dream cars, I'm far too practical for that. I grew out of the "fast racing car" thing decades ago. However, I'd love to have time someday to restore an old car, just to be able to say I did it. I had a friend a long time ago who had a restoration engine for one of these, those things are big V-16s and I love the styling. I'd probably restore something like this:

Start with a military-grade Humvee.


Then redo the interior for luxury and comfort with all the bells and whistles.


Then I'm good to go.

I remember being 12 or 13 and watching SWANH for the first time, and having my imagination caught up in the idea of a privately-owned starship you could fly anywhere....

Ha! A friend and I drew up some pretty detailed plans for how to actually build the Millenium Falcon, long before the days when Lucas was putting out schematics. We could never figure out how to make it fly, of course, but I did have a really good way to build the laser cannons, back in the days before such things were commonplace.

I'm not sure you know what you just did here. But saying this in certain circles could get you stabbed(sort of) by plastic lightsabers.
 
Seriously though, if you want to have a flying car, something like the M400 Skycar at least looks nice. There are a couple of cars that link to "flight modules" at airports, I'd want a car that can take off and land just about anywhere.

Heh, was thinking about the flying car and remembered something I've had on my hard drive for years. Funny stuff.

 
This is a dream car. 1971 Plymouth GTX 426 Hemi with the Plum Crazy paint with black interior.

It may sound nuts, but I want one of these only updated with a modern engine, an AC (doors have to be added, of course), a continuous variable transmission, and all wheel drive.

AC and doors?

Roof might be nice too.

Yes, I found a picture of one with a roof, but for some reason it wouldn't post.

Imagine how much fun such a car would be. It would get great mileage and be able to cruise the dunes and the back roads. It would go where other cars fear to tread.

Actually, I want a dune buggy too. I've never had the pleasure of driving one or riding in one but some people I know have and said it's an absolute blast. Great for the beach and the pavement.

How about this DHN?

"The desert would be a lot quieter and cleaner if everyone was riding around in the Oasis electric dune buggy. Designer Shane Korthuis has conceptualized an eco-friendly dune buggy with a 28-inch ground clearance that runs solely off of electricity."

Now, there's an electric car with some potential!

is it street legal, though?

At this point it is a concept car, so I suppose it could be made street legal.

cuz I NEED one very badly. I need a Ford F250 extended cab 4x4 in the 2005-10 range, but can't afford to buy a vehicle. I rolled the one we had (it wasn't 4WD) and it was a tltal loss ciz the roof was dameged. I had only liability on it. Sucks.
