What's your Dream Car list?

[TeenageRepublican]

Alright, I'll be Frank, no my name is not Frank, I got excited from the Bullitt car news. So I decided to create a list of dream cars that are from movies, these are in no particular order. If you reply, you have to have a picture of the car.

You do realize that the car from iRobot wouldn't work in real life. If the wheels were normal, it would work. Here's why, sphere wheels cover about 1/4 of the ground that real wheels would cover.
It's all a matter of science, less ground means less control, you would go spinning all over the road if you those type of wheels. Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a smart-ass, I just HAD to say it. :biggrin:

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Your question was: "So, what's your dream car from a movie?" I believe both of mine qualify, yes? :smirky:

What movie is that from? My home movies. Saw one at Oshkosh last month, cept that one was black.

Ok , Rhino ... that is my style of vehicle ... my '66 Ford can ride in a trailer for local driving !~ :DThey sell those too.

The trailer they had at Oshkosh had a lift in the back so you could store two cars in it, one on top of the other. A golf cart also fit in the front of the trailer.

[Rhino]

The whole package, motorhome and trailer, was $325,000. That was the plushest motorhome I've ever seen, and I've seen some very plush motorhomes, some worth over a half million.

My favorite Bond car:

This Citroën 2CV was used for an early chase scene in For Your Eyes Only. Actually, several cars were totalled, resulting in some continuity errors if you watch the movie closely.

"Robocop" (1987)

Why didn't IMDB have it? It should've...

[DoctorDoom]

For the fans of muscle cars, the only thing that gives away the 1970 Hemi Cuda's nads is the hood scoop. No trim, no chrome, just 425 horses waiting in the Chrysler 426 Street Hemi for the stomp on the throttle. This bad boy doubtless put many a stoplight drag racer in his place.

The Camaro, ah yes, The Camaro... :drooling:

Oh , you silly boy ... you best repent before a Mopar guy spanks you !

My dad won every single street race with a Camaro during his High School and College years. I like Mustangs, Trans-Am's, Thunderbird's, Firebird's, and many, many more. What I do not like are cars that have Asain names, my family has bad luck with those. :shame:

[TeenageRepublican]

It is a Challenger R/T ....

Oh! I got the car wrong, I thought you meant my taste in cars was wrong! I'm repenting to you and the unknown Mopar guy:
:notworthy:

I should've asked my dad before I posted, oh well, I'm not that big on cars. Here's what I should've wrote:

Ah, yes, the Challenger, yes...
:drooling:

[PaulRevere]

'67 Corvette stingray. I wanted to buy one once, but it had the big block engine with 6-pack carbeuretor and cost too much because of its rarity. If I could have found one with a 325 engine I'd still have it today.

Unfortunately, I have to be more realistic so I am driving the coolest car that I will ever own - a 2006 Mustang GT. Like I never loved a woman before I met my wife, I have never loved a car before I bought my Mustang GT.

[Alex]

I'll never own a "dream car". I've always been stuck with Japanese mass market cars - chosen for their reliability.

By the time I could afford to buy a dream car (if ever), the oil will have run out and I'll be shopping for a horse.

I want a 1967 Oldsmobile Delta 88. You can get away with MURDER with one of those!!!

Texas Entrepreneur Set to Start Building DeLorean Cars
Tuesday, August 21, 2007

HUMBLE, Texas — In a nondescript warehouse in east Texas, mechanic and entrepreneur Stephen Wynne is bringing a rare sports car back to life. If he succeeds, he almost certainly has Michael J. Fox to thank.

A quarter century after DeLorean Motor Co. began making its glitzy, $25,000 two-seater — an operation that collapsed after two years — Wynne's small automotive outfit plans to bring the vehicle back into limited production at a 40,000-square-foot factory in this Houston suburb.

The creation of renowned automotive engineer John DeLorean, DMC eventually made fewer than 9,000 cars, distinctive for their gull-wing doors, stainless-steel exterior and rear-engine design. An estimated 6,500 remain on the road.

Despite DMC's flop, the car has persevered, gaining notoriety largely as the time machine Fox drove in the blockbuster 1985 movie, "Back to the Future," and its two sequels.

The trilogy's enduring popularity on cable TV has exposed countless viewers — and potential customers — to a souped-up version of the DeLorean.

"There isn't a day somewhere in the world that 'Back to the Future' isn't playing as a rerun," said Wynne, president of the new, privately held DeLorean Motor Co.

Wynne formed the company in 1995, when the bulk of his business was working on original DeLoreans at a Houston garage. Still, he needed a name, and because there was nothing legally preventing him from using the original, he decided to give it a shot. He even called John DeLorean, who wished him luck.

A dozen years later, Wynne hopes to parlay the car's celebrity — along with the world's biggest stash of DeLorean parts and engines — into a niche production business that begins hand-making two DeLoreans a month sometime next year. They've just started taking orders....http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293814,00.html

Oh , after Big Foot , I'll take the Blue Brothers car ...

1974 Dodge Monaco "It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas."

Dream cars? I have many. But a list of dream cars from TV or movies, well, I can think of three (no particular order).

1) The General Lee, from the Dukes of Hazzard
2) The car from the 1977 James Brolin movie, The Car
3) The 1959 Superior-Cadillac hearse from the 1972 movie Harold and Maude

Sorry, but I'm still borrowing a computer, so I can't post pictures. I'd love to. I have photos of these cars on my hard drive.

Thanks Rhino! Good pictures. :)
And BabyBeastie, that hearse that Harold had made from the XKE Jag was pretty cool, but not my dream car. The real hearse that his mother made him get rid of, that's the car for me.
And is that just a picture of a model, or do you actually have one?

What make was that car in the movie, "The Car?"

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:moo: I don't think it was any particular make. Maybe it was the car Johnny Cash described in one of his song, built from miscellaneous parts.

Thought that was a Cadillac:

Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.
