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.:cool:

 

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.

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! Pic is in Canyonlands National park beginning of White Rim Trail and the Potash Road.42759c2beadf0cad1597dd86daae1a88.jpg

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.

Ooooooo I'll play....... I do this in my head like just about every minute. 

 

First would be my old K5 back or at least a pre 75 with a full convertible

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.

Is that . . . .is that most of a 97+ cherokee header? On a zuki?

 

@Pete M ,can you steal this pic and post it to the "Put down the hammer and walk away" thread? I feel its deserving.

Haha yes.  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.
