This is an interesting thread,,as you probably dont realise,us Kiwis have been starved of all the "different" American cars,sure,we got the regular common garden variety four door sedans,but we got diddly in the way of ragtops,coupes,two door sedans,unless they were private imports. I guess things have changed a whole lot in the last 20 years or so,but I dont know what I would go for,a mid sixties Belvedere 2 with hemi and 4 speed would be a good start,a Shelby GT500 with 427 would also spin my crank,,hey I would even take my1960 Galaxie4 dr/ht as a brand new car,as there were only six brought in from Canada,right hand drive,for Ford Motor Company execs in 1960,and I believe it is the only one left of the six.

I don't know guys, I have had a lot of the 60's muscle cars, a few even were zero mileage at the time but I think I might trade the Willys for any one of the new muscles cars out now.

1967 Mustang Fastback 390 4spd GT , Highly Optioned

41Willys if you trade for that mustang they will still owe you alot of cash .

67 Caprice, 427 four speed

Like someone said earlier, cars are like women(or men for those female listeners and whoever else ) not just one is attractive or desirable. Alas the fundamental problem of the universe, too many choices, not enough time!
Nice willy's by the way!

Now that would be something to see happen at a dealer.

Since this is a wishlist, I think I would want one of these--a McLaren F1.

This thread is harder to answer than you might think,because there isn't much that I wouldn't want to blow apart and change to suit myself,which kind of negates the need of a 0 miles gennie. Can I have a nice time machine instead so I can go back and get what I want for builders instead? Hank

1940 Mercury Convertible Classic Car Pictures

I was unable to copy a picture but my choice would be a 1940 Mercury Convertible. It has the classic '40 style headlights, longer hood and the better 24 stud flathead. The shape is already close to a custom, just add lowering shackles and put aluminum finned heads on it, then wax it over and over! You gotta love that grill with the chromed casting!

Retired Scientist/teen rodder

Don, about 10 years ago I had the opportunity to buy a 1940 Mercury covertible for $17.5k I wanted to resto-rod the car, but a family member who owned several old cars and streetrods told my wife not to buy it, because of the high cost of conversion. She regrets the decision not to buy it even more than I did/do. She really loved it. It only had 67k original miles on it and was in good running condition. When I decided to buy it any way, it had been sold to a collector for a museum. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to hesitate or listen to others.

if i could go back in time i would of been working at gm in 1962 and the novas would of had a little bit different front ends to accept the 409s would of made super stock a whole lot more interesting

Make mine a '67 427 Vette. Today the engine would be aluminum block and heads of course with SFI.

Defiantly not a '32 ford. I think that I would have to say a '36 Chevy (I want to say sports coupe, you know the one that only sat two and had no top) my grandfather had one.
