This sold during the Monterey Car Week.
$475,000.
Air cargo to Switzerland.
That's Adam Mohr. And if you were ever in Monterey, you've driven by his shop and seen classic sports cars.

Weren't they around 260K new? Price sounds about fair I guess.
Base of $150k. This was $170k
This. I bought it when I grew up.

Another one is the Ferrari F355. The 5-valve flat plane crank V8 is one of the best sounding engines ever made. The 360 is close, but I give a slight edge to the F355. Would love to drive one with a six speed gated shifter. The lines are beautiful as well.
Would love to own a 360 or F430 with the gated shifter. F355 is too expensive to own due to engine out belt service and expensive manifold cracks.:
This is mine.
I grew up in a very normal middle class neighborhood, but my single next door neighbor was dating a dude with an F355. I mowed her lawn, and I still get sweaty palms thinking about doing the edging on the curb when it was parked there. Usually just skipped that piece altogether.
That was the car I learned to drive a stick on. Pretty weird sensation hopping out of a Ferrari after school to make marching band practice. One of my buddies got out of his mom's minivan and the same instant. The shame on his face is etched into both our brains forever.
Great thread.
Graduated High School 2002 and had a 1974 Stingray hotrod but dreamed about the Zo6. Also had a 1990 Chevy stepside 4.6l rwd truck. Always wanted the V8 z71. Still do.

Great muscle car and one of favorites.
Did yours also have the speedometer on the hood like the one in the pic?
Or is that one yours?

My high school truck was a 98 Chevy 1500 single cab short bed with an LS1 swap. Man I loved that truck.
Let me add the Lamborghini Miura
993 Turbo
McLaren F1
Shelby Daytona Coupes
GT40

Always had a soft spot for the Porsche 930 w/ M505 option (aka slant nose).
When I was a kid back in the '80s I didn't dream of owning some exotic street car. I dreamed of driving the 956/962 down the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans:

It's mine. Tach on the hood, but I installed Dakota digital gauges so it's disconnected. It's a true GTO, PHS docs verified, but the original car had no tach. Based on underlying paint, hood and right front quarter panel are not original. Likely got in a fender bender at some point in its life. Runs arrow straight, no frame issue.

One summer when I was in HS, a buddy of mine had just gotten a car. It was a 3 or 4 year old Mazda something that he was very proud of. He asked me to go with him and take some pictures of it. I had an OK camera setup and we went to a nice part of town and shot some pics at various locations. We were driving by one of the nicer hotels in the area and saw a Ferrari 308, I think, and so we got out and each took a pic of each other standing by the Ferrari like it was ours!
1st gen 3000gt TT 91-93, loved them in High School in the mid-90s, never got one but still browse them from time to time.
Also always wanted an 03 Terminator Cobra, Sonic blue but ended up with a blue M5 instead

1988 Toyota 4runner, my first vehicle.
My 15 year old self was livid when my dad bought some old Toyota with 160k from ebay, but by the time I started driving it I loved it. I'd "offroad" it with my friends and it was fine while a friend's Montero broke a driveshaft. The rear seats folded down for plenty of room to sneak out and go pick up a girl for some late night fun. I'd turn it off at the top of my street, coast downhill in neutral, and build up enough speed to make a hard left then a right into our uphill driveway with enough juice to park it in the same spot when coming back home. That was when I learned how helpful power steering TRULY was and that it didn't work with the car off. Almost didn't make that first turn coating down our street!
Sadly the timing chain went, effed the valvetrain, and my dad refused to hear my pleas for a 350 Chevy swap.
I like to think my Tacoma is a spiritual successor.

1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda
My love for all things Mopar started here and continues to this day. Currently in the market for a single cab, short bed, Hemi Ram 1500 with a 5 or 6 speed manual for my son. I'll be driving it to work until he turns 16 early next year.
OP - looked what popped up on BAT this week:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-nissan-300zx-twin-turbo-65/
Only 8K miles.

I know more about women than I do cars, so that tells you I know jack **** about either. But I do know this, I will own one of these beautiful vehicles before I die.
This post is for Cretaceous Level Subscribers only.
Hate to tell you, but I don't think such a beast exists. They never put a manual behind the hemi in the 1500 to my knowledge. Would have to get a 2500, a 1500 with the 4.7L/5.2L, or a SRT-10. Preferably the latter!
My then list:
89 fox body conv
94 k1500 ext cab z-71
66 gto with 389 3x2 set up

What a beautiful car. You must know how envious people like me (55 years old) are, right? Well done, sir. Just a fantastic car. Wow.

The Bad Boys 964 Turbo is my seminal boyhood dream car.
I've also loved Unimogs from the moment I learned they existed (sometime in the 90s)

Thanks. Funny enough for a classic car they are still affordable right now.
