mjeff87 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 A 2001 Ford Focus ZTS (tan in color) that didn't drip a spot of oil from somewhere on the back upper right side of the engine every night when parked. But seriously, I'd like to own another TJ at some point. Just for putting around in, with the top/doors off.....not as a DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugboat95 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I want my 99 Suburban back. I had replaced the engine and rebuilt the entire undercarriage suspension, etc. I was to the point of painting it. And sold it. I still see it regularly as I sold it to a family I know that was hard up for a dependable vehicle. Needed space for multiple kids and reliability for cheap.But I do miss it!

coheed Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 \ First car was a 73 Super Beetle with a 1600 and a horrible auto-stick trans. Mine was much much uglier than this, but was the same color. I'd love to have another one, even if the Super is the redheaded step-child of the aircooled world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokeyyank Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Ooooooo I'll play....... I do this in my head like just about every minute.

Always liked the 62-63 riviera when done right Need a little something to go Canyon blasting 1M An exocar............because who doesn't want to go 0-60 in under 2 seconds And lastly..... g63 6X6, I'd even settle on a AMG G wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Crown Vic/Charger General Lee. I grew up watching the Dukes and my dream car is a General Lee. Since I can't afford a real 69 Charger, I want the cheap version I can not feel bad about beating on a bit. Believe it or not, this is a Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Wheelbase is perfect and all the 69 Charger sheetmetal and most of the trim can be bought online for just under $10k total. Factor in a roll cage and donor Crown vic and you have a 69 Dodge Charger-ish for around $15k all in. I may be cheating with this one as I own it but I likely won't get to end goal for quite a while. I want an open canopy offroad buggy thing to drive around with, like a side-by-side. Something like this. I already own a wrecked 98 Suzuki Sidekick (with a clean title so it can be registered at some point) that I made run and drive, which is what I someday hope to finish. PS, solo recovery missions with two vehicles is very difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zuki grill was no more, it rolled through a cornfield at 65mph.. I needed lights and just used what I had! There's a thread in the "other projects" threads on the zuki.
