For me, I think it would be a 65 R Model. But the new Ford GT would also suffice in lieu thereof.
-
Man, that's a tough question. Well, I can definitely say that I'm more of a classic car guy than a new car guy, as I've owned 2 newer Shelbys and sold both not long after purchase - they just don't have the soul of a classic to me. 8)
It has to be a Shelby - for sure. I'm going to say either a street or R model version of a 1965 GT350. I lean more toward the R Model; however, the carryovers still reign supreme for me.
Yes, I'm biased ;).
-
'65 289 Cobra or '67 GT350.
(oops adjusted)
-
I bleed Ford blue. Having said that ; 1972 Miura SV (in metallic orange, not yellow)
-
Besides my 67 ,a 289 cobra for sure.... 8)
-
Late production CSX2300-2500 Cobra
-
CSX 2544, or a similar CSX that is in driver condition, a car that you never have to worry about not making people happy by not doing a concourse restoration on. Get in, turn the key and drive whenever you like, never worrying about a stone chip ;) In another year, I just may be in the market for such a car.
-
I need something that I can get roof racks on to carry my ladders and my Greyhound likes to go for long rides so it needs a back seat where she can stand up. I need a gps since I get lost all of the time. Something that can go off road so I can go around the traffic and get somewhere today...not tomorrow. Any suggestions? I'm thinking a Mini pickups ort of thing? Supercharged of course.

Man - good choice AND picture. 👍🏻

Sorry, folks...Gotta go to the "Dark side" if I only get one car: Ferrari 250GT SWB

But it has no back seat and you can't put roof racks on it? I can't even get a shotgun in it. I need to use one of those sawed offs? Why?

Original GT 40, that won LeMans of course, or original Daytona Coupe. ;D
-
With no other qualifiers (unlimited budget), that's an easy one for me - an original GT-40. (And it doesn't even have to be the LeMans winning one!) ~Kevin
-
CSX2345
https://shelbyamericancollection.org/cars/1964-fia-cobra-roadster-csx2345/
-
1966 or 1967 Fairlane with a factory 427.
-
There is no "if" with me. I already have it. Early model 67 GT 350, white, no LeMans stripes, 289 4 speed.
OK, OK, I kind of miss having the $3000 it would have cost me for a 289 Cobra I was saving for back in 1971.
-
If you were to limit me to only one specialty car, it would be this: a 59' Ferrari 250 GT Pinin Farina Series I Cabriolet. A true gentlemans car in my opinion. It stopped me dead in my tracks.

Oh man, I love these too. And 250 Lusso, 365 Daytona and a 1959 250 California
If we make it strictly FoMoCo, then for me it is going to be a MK I GT40

Well you don't need to twist my arm but dam dog will jump out and want to race it. The car might have a chance against her, it's only a 500? :o
-
I would like one of the '66 convertibles to go with 6S550 Ron
-
I would love to have an original GT-40 or the prewar Banger Hotrod I have now!
-
Put me in the line for an original GT40. A small block, please. I know the MK-IV with its 427 was faster, but I like the look of the small block cars better.

Either my B9 or my 55 Chevy

I love that roadster! 32 Ford?

'65 289 Cobra or '67 GT50.
JD,
The Cobra I understand, the GT50, I don't understand. Are you desiring another GT 350 or thinking about turning to the dark side with a GT 500?
-

It's a '30 radiator shell... :) I'm partial to the Model A also, although I like original cars best... :) My son wants to turn one of my coupes into an old school hot rod. I said ok... ;D

Dang - typing too fast again. GT350, still a small-block-punk
-
Original Daytona Coupe.

In no particular order. Jaguar D Type, Mercedes 300 SL or a '64 Shelby Cobra 289.

not playing fair.
"one other car" means one, not three. you pick three, next guy picks seven, I come back with eleven "one other car" picks, ad nauseum....
having to narrow it down to just one is what makes it hard.
Z
-
Ok, ok I meant I would choose one from those three zray. I choose the D Type :)

1987 C4 Corvette with the B2K* option
* for those not versed in Bow Tie minutiae, this was the factory twin turbo option Chevrolet developed with Callaway engineering.

Thanks, its an original old rust bucket 1931! not the fastest, but a lot of fun to drive and a little scary at 70mph!

If you're like me and have had a particular Shelby for a long time, you know all the idiosyncrasies of that particular car. Maybe you have seen, driven, ridden, or just lusted after an other car. But you haven't actually lived with that car. It's the question of the devil you know vs. the one you don't. (replace devil with woman, if you don't believe in devils)
What I would like is to have the resources to keep my KR convertible in excellent condition AND be able to drive it everywhere without any concerns.

^^^ Yes. I've been watching this thread, but am frequently subject to "paralysis by analysis" and can't quite wrap my head around all of the possible parameters and consequences?
I love my Tiger and have always said that a real Cobra and GT40 are dream cars.
However, in this case, based on pure enjoyment... I'm gonna agree with Rocket and say Grumpy's old '66 Convertible 8) - i think that blue is iconic.
-
71 scj convertible. Why: 1) my first car was a brand new 71 mustang, and 2) I never could have afforded a convertible, let alone one that can perform like a modern day high performance car...in a 48 year old package.
-
If that pic of 1971 SCJ convertible is an auto, it’s my old car lol. Ford only made one.

Bang on. Still runs like a dream (mind you it is -25 today, so it will be a few months until it sees the sun again).
-
My KR. Bought in 1982 and will never sell it.
Here's a pix at home in 1991, with Carroll's "Continuation Cobra" he loaned to me. (I know...)
-
Great to see you still have it. My best "find", and one of the best sleeper Mustangs out there. It's mid-60s in Texas today....Just saying...Rick
-
Thanks Rick.
If I could be allowed 2 entries. This one is so out in left field I hope people don't mind. I may have posted a similar pic on the old web site.
Since childhood I have had a fascination with period ambulances, and as an adult pre- hospital emergency care (including professionally).
Besides my Ford focus I have a vintage ambulance collection. This is REALLY my favorite ride: 1965 Superior Pontiac. One of two survivors. Both are long term keepers.

GHOST BUSTERS! WHO YA' GONNA' CALL!
Actually other then possibly a Shelby convertible so I can carry my Greyhound and my ladders, like Bill suggested, I kinda' have what I'd want, except for the Super Models that were supposed to come with them?
-
'68 "135" sound deadener delete 4-sp Cobra Jet lightweight....yup that would make me happy!
-
Well the first thing I would do is upgrade the daily driver to hatchback then I could get serious on a nice collectable.

Stock or one of the Winternational drag CJs?

Hmmmmm, no brainer.

I think the two sound deadener delete cars were both race cars...I'd take either...I'm not picky...lol!

Cool. ;)

One more example (I will stop here).
Sorry, the blue oval was not a favorite of the pro car builders.

Is that the ambulance that transported James Dean? I wonder where it is today. That and his Porsche Speedster he owned before the 550 Spyder.

Mega Dittos to post number 1!!

It would be a truck, my Shelby F-150, 700 HP and tows Corvettes like a dream!

So many to choose from. If only one, I would have to go with an original Ford GT
