Wow, I just checked back and didn't realize how long this list got...

I meant to add semi affordable to the requirements, but I like what you guys are coming up with.

I'll add another, I'm going to own a "real" rod soon... this one is out of my league but you get the idea.

AMC Eagle....I dont know why, I just like the ugly thing. All wheel drive, reminiscent of the old Stomper toys...

Must be some kind of memory of them being the prize car on gameshows while growing up...Tic Tac Dough anyone!

Maybe I should change my vote, as I just bought my 2nd 74 Euro Carrera today.

Yep.

My dream build would be similar but using a older 142 volvo, and somehow transferring vette suspension, but retaining stock appearance, total sleeper

I would love to have a Nash Metropolitan or a Triumph Herald.
I have wanted a Met since high school.
Had a friend with a Herald in college, it was a riot to ride around in!

scroll down to the mid-engine Boss 429 project Ford did with KK in 1969 - definitely oddball and rare, and pretty much on topic in a 914 forum!

http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread...9802&page=2

and way, way cool

http://www.diversstreetrods.com/projects/

pretty much any bastardized mid-engine thing is on my list of oddball cool cars to pine for. I always wanted to wedge a 351C/ZF Pantera setup into a VW squareback, so I think that Rambler is schweet.

wasnt as fast as this one though.

160mph across the yorkshire moors. Had to turn the A/C on to keep the cabin cool as the twin turbos were heating up the firewall. crickey I think this is my dream car.
