    Cars you like to own(build)before you die

    I was thinking about turning 30 this year and was thinking about cars that I would like to build. This is my list
    65 cobra replica most likley a factory five(build)
    Some sort of hot/rat rod 30's-40's
    A 40's-50's truck
    And last i want to build my 1973 dodge Dart swinger. It was my very first car...
    Will be sublime green with a flat black hood. I want to graft a air grabber hood on it. Put a very mild 440 with twin carbs and a stick.(not a racecar)lol

    92 calypso notch blk/int
    86 t-type

    Not only did I fail at building a fast mustang but I bought a yellow zo6 cause I couldn't get my little dick up.

    66 ish F100 with big block power in the weeds.

    84 Capri turbo will always be an evolution ;)

    Testify, Bob!!

    Ultimate car I want to build is a '40 Willys coupe. It might not be the bracket car, but it will go to the track. Street legal, fully functional, pump gas, may have to go BBC just to make budget, though an AMC 401 would be cool.

    AMCs are sweet... would love to do a '68-70 AMX or Javelin, or Machine. Mid 60s Rambler wagon. Just about anything wagon. Cruiser build would be a '57 Olds wagon, Olds powered, overdriver, AC, all the good stuff.
    First car love, that got me into cars, '65 Mustang fastback.
    In Mopars, I'd like a '67 Satelite wagon, or a '71 Challenger.
    Chevys, '70 Camaro with the split front bumper
    I need to hit the lottery, just to do the Willys build

    Id LIKE to build/ have:

    03 Cobra
    C5/C6 Vette
    Notchback 4 eye fox
    New 5.0 GT
    68-73 Vette
    70-ish Buick GS 455 Stage I
    Grand National/ T-Type

    Right now just taking it step by step. Maybe in the next couple of years I'll trade in my hoopties for an 03 Cobra as they seem to keep getting more affordable. But we will see, I change my mind left and right. I'd like to keep my blue mustang forever, but if I am able to afford an 03 Cobra in the next couple of years I just might have to trade both my cars in.

    -Porsche GT3
    -C6 Z06
    -2012 Boss 302 mustang
    -Audi RS5
    -Aston Martin V12 Vantage

    I don't want to build anything... I'm sick of turning wrenches. If I did build anything I'd want something STUPID light with wide ass tires and a aluminum blocked V8 under the hood or a turbo'd 4 cylinder to keep weight down. It'd have to come in under 2000lbs and handle like a kart.

    I should have made a list when I turned 30 earlier this year.
    Anyway, the LX will never be finished, always wanting to keep it a streetable track car that is always evolving.
    I will be buying a 2011+ GT500 next spring, but the future build list has always included a Cobra replica for my wife (one car she actually wants) and then a '69 Boss 429 replica with a Kaase 600" Boss motor and driver Pro Touring theme (made that choice after selling my '69 Mach-clone for my LX).
