Lets talk other cars you wanted back in the day
Im 28 so when I was growing up 90s cars were big I grew up in brooklyn originally and then spent alot of time there even after I moved to NJ ... some cars I dreamt about having and some I wish you could still buy new were : (no particular order)
1- 92 acura legend coupe w/ 5-speed manual 2- Iroc-z with t-tops 3- 5.0 mustang notchback 5-speed 4-monte carlo SS 5- 94-96 infiniti q45 6- w140 s500-600/CL500-600 benz 7- 90-91 560SEC benz 8- 93 lexus GS300 9- 79-81 caddy coupe Deville |
My dream car growing up was a 91-92 Z28 Camaro, a few people had them in my hometown and high school when I was growing up and I was obsessed! That and I'll always have a spot for a big ol' 96 Impala SS. Those two are hands down my most reasonable dream cars.

2nd gen Trans Am. 70-74 or 77-81.

89 Shelby Daytona 2.2 Turbo II w/ ttops(I did have a TurboZ and a ShelbyZ from the 80s)
89-90 Dodge Dakota sport convertible pick-up 1990s Taurus wagon (with a Taurus SHO drivetrain swapped in - Yamaha V6) Syclone Typhoon RHD Iroc(would be a custom conversion, lol. I had been in touch with shops in Australia though) '96 Impala SS Benz s500(late 90s) or a big body benz of that time. 3000GT VR4 Fiero GT6 Terminator Mustang Cobra Saleen Mustang S281 -(Actually went to Ford dealer in 2001 to buy one. They wouldn't take me seriously, told me the weren't making them anymore, etc. I said ok, I'll buy a camaro SS. Salesman basically said "yea,right". 3 weeks later I went to check out a used car(supercharged fox body) for my friend at that ford dealer. Same salesman there. He asked if I bought my "SS" yet. I said yup and pointed to my pewter '01 SS with the temp tags in front of their showroom. He shut up quick, and I proceeded to explain to my friend, and the salesman how bad the used fox body was and how much of a hack job it was. |
I wanted a lot of cars, but nothing more than a black 96 Impala SS. They are getting pretty cheap these days...
|
99-01 Viper GTS
98 Expedition - not sure why but I liked that style when it came out |
Just to name a few.
65 GTO 70 Chevelle SS 69 Yenko Nova 55 Chevy 67 427 Vette 69 Stinger Corvair 70 Buick GSX 67 Chevelle SS 57 Chevy pickup 73 Pontiac Formula SD 455 |
I bought my 1963 (I think I'am the oldest member here) Corvair Monza Turbo Spyder brand new and rented the 2 car garage across the street from where I was living. Had the place all to myself, until one of the guys I knew parked his Grad present next to mine. It was a 1963 Gold Corvette Vert with the 327 cu.in. 340 hp solid lifter cam and 4-speed.:drool: Then around the corner was a girl that I was hoping to hook up with and her boyfriend shows up with a 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix.:shock: Needless to say, I was the low man on the totem pole. Did make up for it (worked for a Pontiac Dealer) by getting a 1965 GTO and later a 1967 GTO brand new. WAAAAY TOO much fun growing up in the mid to late 60's, where EVERY stoplite was a chance to drag race another Muscle car, to the next lite.:drive:
Nothing like going to Drive-In movies, Drag Racing, car hops and nothing to think about except where the next date was coming from!:mrgreen: |

guy i know that owns a car shop / gas station has a typhoon that he refuses to sell ...hes been "fixing it up" since before i was born probably lol funny u mention the ford dealer thing... had it out with one over a terminator (04) cobra a few years back.. he wouldn't take me seriously and kept asking me if im sure my z06 wasn't a viper lol and I was like im positive I had a viper too at one point... asked me what my intentions were with looking at the cobra im like to ****ing buy it ? why else would i be at a car dealer? turns out car was beat to ****... then i kept getting automated emails from the dealer so I replied to the GMs email and told him how i was treated |
These are the first to come to mind. They each had a special place in my formative years, and are each partially responsible for getting me into Cars.
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. |
I am fortunate to own both of the cars I wanted in high school.
1991 Camaro Z28 http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps64dc9463.jpg http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...psblzh9ikj.jpg and a Grand National http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1a69528c.jpg |

Always wanted an Escalade, couldn't afford one so I did the next best thing... Built a custom one. 2 door. One of the 1st built, used all OEM parts from Cadillac. Luckily knew a guy that made parts "fall off the truck"
Attachment 8433 Started off as a totaled 2 door Tahoe and ended up with a 2 door escalade with a Paxton supercharger, 20" wheels, and 2 kicker 15s. |
It's always been Turbo Buicks for me. Wanted one since 8th grade. My step father was a state trooper and worked at Atco "back then they had them there". Buicks dominated street night. In 1991 I ran a 13:00@ 105mph, that was movin! Bought my first one when I was 16. I've owned 3 over the years keeping one. I do however find myself looking twice at Z06's

jesus man...you need to put a NSFW stamp on those pics. absolutely amazing. |
Having graduated high school in the late 80's, there were a few cars that were coveted:
2nd Gen Camaros and Trans Ams - typically the Disco era years IROCs and Z28s - 3rd gens Trans Ams and GTAs - 3rd gens Monte Carlo SS Mustang GT - 87 and up |
I've always wanted a CTSV. Billy's at the old TTP dyno day had me drooling and I like the newer ones even more. 2010's are somewhat affordable and I've thought about trading in the WRX but I don't want another car payment for the rest of my life.

Growing up in the 70s I was ga ga for 427 Shelby Cobras and 1968 GT500s. In the 80s I lusted over Vectors, Lamborghini Countachs, and Screaming Chicken Trans Ams. Then when the Viper came out it was a game changer, and I'm in love with the 1996 GTS, blue with white stripes.

Being a child of the muscle car wars;
My dream car from my younger years (and still is) 69 Dodge Charger either Hemi or 440 6-pack. I had many others I would have loved to own but that tops the list for me. |
Keeping it money wise reasonable, I wanted a few cars, mainly odd balls for some reason
3rd gen Camaro (86+) Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA Pontiac Fiero (preferably 1988) Mitsubishi Starion/Chrysler Conquest Volkswagen Scirocco Porsche 914 Porsche 944 Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS Toyota Corolla (AE86) Toyota Celica Supra Amazingly, I was recently given a Fiero and a GTA for free, but the titles for both are missing :/ |
