1957 Chrysler 300C. Fastest American production car in 1957 (I love telling the Chevy buffs that over two tons of Mopar iron could outrun a 'Vette in the quarter)

Well, it's not a Mopar, it's my dad's Jaguar. 1950 Mark V drophead coupe. So many childhood memories and adventures and family history intertwined with the history of this car. It's special to me...
Part of that history was dad having to sell the car when he got sick with Multiple Myeloma. Tough times taught me all about doing what you have to do to get by.

Even if there was a such thing as a black Superbird, I would walk past it and buy a 2006 SRT 10 Regular Cab Ram in Flame Red. Supposedly, 6 made and I've been looking for one with a blank check ready for over 10 years: none have surfaced. I have an '07 with 9,000 miles on it, but it just isn't the same.

For me, it would be a late 70s Plymouth Trailduster with a 440 and fulltime 4wd. In very nice shape, that would be hard to pass up. I nearly got a Plymouth Trailduster 4x4 years ago, a friend had it for sale. Nice shape, good driver, nothing wrong with it, 360-2V, automatic, fulltime 4wd. White/red two tone. Removeable roof. 1978. Had it for sale around 1999/2000. He was asking $1,500, I offered $1,200. He declined. Went back one week later and he sold it for $1,100. JS

Big block Dodge and Plymouth 4x4s seem really under-appreciated, but maybe I'm not in the thick of that crowd. Great looking machines for sure...
When something that's on your bucket list presents itself at a price you can afford, the choice is simple. The unbeatable opportunities lie in private purchases. Those with a large network of friends in the hobby can have their bucket list cars show up any time.. and present itself privately at a price that simply can't be passed up, which would demand a purchase. I've lucked into most of the cars I own.

That's Inferno Red (metallic) https://www.carsdirect.com/2006/dodge/ram-1500/colorsI just picked up a 2004 SLT in Flame Red. (needed a truck and this one fit the bill and was well priced).
